ARTcheology, the new exhibition at the Archéa Museum

ARCHÉA, museum of the Roissy Pays de France urban community, offers a captivating temporary exhibition entitled “ARTcheology, vestiges and works”, from March 16 to November 17, 2024. Although contemporary art and archeology may seem distant at first, the artists discover in this human science and the artifacts it reveals numerous sources of inspiration and reflection.

A dialogue between contemporary art and archeology

At first glance, contemporary art and archeology seem to be distant disciplines. However, they intertwine in this exhibition, offering visitors a unique look at the past and the present. Artists find in archeology an inexhaustible source of inspiration and reflection.

The ARCHÉA museum has succeeded in forging links between archaeological collections and the work of sixteen contemporary artists. These artists, on loan from various public institutions, galleries and artists themselves, explored historical and cultural themes through various mediums such as painting, sculpture, video, installation and photography.

A story shared through the ages

The exhibition reveals how works of contemporary art fit into the continuity of our history, from its origins to modernity. Each piece tells a unique story, exploring the material, formal, thematic, memorial or serial dimensions of our past.

En revisiting vestiges of the past through the prism of contemporary art, visitors are invited to discover a new perspective on history. Between diversion and sacralization, continuum and rupture, this exhibition offers a fruitful and constantly renewed look at our cultural heritage.
