Until June 2, the Palais Fesch offers its visitors a new exhibition which mirrored two collections: the photographs of the Frac de Corse, and the classic masterpieces of the Ajaccian museum. A daring dialogue where temporalities and disciplines intersect to create correspondence and contrasts.

A photograph of a varnished heeled boot in front of a newborn baby in playing, placed right next to a triptych of Italian primitive art. This is all the symbolism of the exhibition “Agreements and Dissonances”, currently exhibited at the Fesch Palace.
“We show this ambivalence in the figure of the woman“, Details Julia Baltzer, cultural mediator of the museum. This is both in the past,”with this work which dates from the Italian primitives“, she says,”and also in modern times“. “For the figure of the Virgin, we see this holy figure, very sacred, and there“, she continues, pointing the photograph,”We have a woman who is both an object of seduction, and a maternal figure.“
The exhibition thus proposes to integrate the works of 23 artists from the regional contemporary art fund in the permanent collection of the Museum of Fine Arts. The objective: to surprise and create a game of meaning, although sometimes disturbing at first.
Like this shot where the underside of a young woman is revealed, visible above her low-waisted pants … and the legs of an infant, whom she carries in her arms.
“We are in a photograph that is quite connoted the sexual plan, and at the same time we have this figure of the mother woman, with this child whom she holds in the arms“, Indicates Julia Baltzer. A way, continues the cultural mediator,”to stop placing the woman in a single label, a single standard“.
