Art Brut Collection: Body
This third volume (after Vehicles and Architecture) in the series titled Art Brut The Collection
accompanying the Biennales de l'Art Brut, includes only works from the Lausanne Museum,
some of which have rarely been exhibited.
The book contains a large number of drawings, paintings, photographs and sculptures,
reflecting the manifold representations of the human body in Art Brut, while paying close
attention to the intimate relationship the artists have established with their creations.
These works represent a sort of hand-to-hand combat; they are "battles" in which no quarter
is asked or given between the creator and his own image and unique personal history. For
some the body is the refuge of a complex intimacy, for others it is a prison from which to
escape or even a storehouse of energy that needs to be set free and transformed.
Rarely exhibited or published, Jean Dubuffet's prisoners' tattoos reveal how creations lying on
the margins of art's traditional subject matter held a magnetic attraction for the founder of
the concept of Art Brut, the core of the Lausanne Museum's collection. The great "classics" of
Art Brut, such as Aloise Corbaz, rub shoulders with more recent discoveries, such as Eric
Derkenne's body-faces, or the all-powerful "nuclear trans-sexuality" of Giovanni Galli. The
doubling of the self and a play of mirrors highlight the instinctive search for identity typical of
Josef Hofer and Robert Gie. Whether dismembered and fragmented in Giovanni Bosco's
work, or tightly gathered in cosmic unity in Guo Fengyi's creations, the body gives form to a
perpetual flux that art can exploit to express existential experience.

Art Brut Collection: Vehicles
From the remarkable Art Brut Collection in Lausanne, Switzerland, comes Vehicles, the first book in an exciting new series. The Art Brut Collection has created the Biennale de l’Art Brut, a project that capitalizes on the diversity of this superb collection of more than 60,000 works by grouping a selection of them into themed exhibitions. As movement was a recurring theme in Art Brut, the first of these shows, titled Vehicles, features Motooka locomotives, Franz Kernbeis’s bicycle, Willem van Genk’s airships, and Auguste Forestier’s boats. The works represented here highlight a variety of approaches to motion in the form of sculptures, drawings, and constructions by more than 50 artists.

Art Brut Collection: Architecture
Architecture, the second Art Brut Biennale, presents a selection of works from the Art Brut Collection (Lausanne), linked together by a common theme. The exhibition and the catalogue show the public new works by perhaps lesser-known authors, while taking a new slant on some historical pieces. Running the gamut from reality to utopia, Art Brut authors design architectures in resonance with their everyday lives or their memories, reorganising the space around them according to their own rules and needs. Their imag- ination and inventiveness carries them to distant, unexplored lands. Yet the vision of architecture that these Art Brut authors offer us here opens up a new dimension, escap- ing all practical considerations. Over 250 works by 52 creators of all origins - European, North American, or Asian - have been selected for the exhibition. This book presents colour illustrations, a short biography, and a bibliography for each artist. The diversity at the heart of this concept can be seen in the many different forms and techniques used, such as painting, drawing, sculpture, and embroidery.
Among the artists: Aloi se, Juliette Elisa Bataille, Filippo Bentivegna, Georges Berthomier, Gregory Lee Blackstock, Benjamin Bonjour, Edouard Boschey, Luigi Brunetti, Andre Car, Diego, Paul Duhem, Paul End, Samuel Failloubaz, Florent, Jacqueline Fromenteau, Willem Van Genk, Jules Godi, Heer, Magali Herrera, Stefan Holzmu ller,Testuaki Hotta, Norimitsu Kokubo, F.

Architectures is the second volume in the series Art Brut - The Collection, published by 5 Continents and the Swiss institution, after Vehicles (2014).
