Contrepoint<\/strong>
8 – 27 September 2026<\/em>

With Contrepoint, Anthony Guerr\u00e9e brings sculpture and design into dialogue in the manner of a musical counterpoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the Mus\u00e9e Bourdelle, the sculptures already compose a silent score, made of presences, voids and tensions. Anthony Guerr\u00e9e inscribes new forms – in wood, glass, textile and clay – that converse with this existing world without ever imposing upon it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contrepoint offers an immersion into the creative process of a contemporary designer. The installation explores the possible correspondences between sculpture and design, setting the various material and formal investigations carried out by Anthony Guerr\u00e9e against Bourdelle’s plastic universe. His creations establish a subtle dialogue with the sculptor’s forms, rhythms and relationship to matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contrepoint proposes a reading of design as a sculptural practice. Here, objects appear in different states: fragments, matrices, prototypes, finished pieces. Visitors are thus invited to step into a space of inquiry, where materials, forms and gestures speak with the spirit of the place.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

FILTERED SHAPES<\/strong>

In this emblematic space of the museum, a set of stained-glass works conceived specially for the exhibition introduces light as a new working material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The compositions arise from a body of lines developed by observing the curves and tensions present in Bourdelle’s sculptures. These fragments of line, abstract yet deeply tied to sculptural movement, become coloured compositions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stained glass becomes an architecture of light, transforming the space through an interplay of forms and shadows, thanks to the craftsmanship of Sophie Toporkoff, the glass from Verrerie de Saint-Just, and the solid ash structures crafted by cabinetmaker Louis Monier.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
