Vernissage: 2012-02-9 - 18:00
In the world of outsider art, the Fabuloserie is one of the places that cannot be ignored. Its history is linked to that of Alain Bourbonnais (1925-1988). This young architect bought a property in Dicy, in the Yonne department, where he started creating a very personal body of work combining painting, sculpture, and assemblage. He also collected a large number of works closely linked to popular art: unusual objects made by men "who didn't come out of art school but rather came from factories and fields?.Visiting the art brut collection in Paris and meeting Jean Dubuffet came as a real choc to Bourbonnais. In 1983, Bourbonnais created, with the help of his wife Caroline, what would become the amazing Fabuloserie, a place where his own creations, together with objects from his collection, are displayed within a very personal structure and scenography. The exhibition will introduce works of Alain Bourbonnais and of artists from the Fabuloserie in a scenography that closely reflects the spirit of this "strong citadel of the Outsider?. The "coup de Coeur? room will be dedicated to the artist Giovanni Battista Podesta.
