An exhibition in comparison. On one side, the eclectic collection that is part of the so-called endowment fund of the prolific French visual artist Jean-Jacques Lebel. On the other, the vast collection of contemporary art of the Centre Pompidou in Paris. The result is an undisciplined journey through more than one hundred and twenty works of different origins, through the passions, struggles and revolts that have crossed the world during the twentieth century and up to the present day. An exhibition that is also, in some way, an “exercise in style” in re-proposing anonymous objects and important works on the same level, bringing out other histories of art and of the gaze according to the guidance of a chaotic research method - Chaosmosis - imagined by André Breton.
