Mucem

Folklore, ambiguity, and paradox.
The term ‘folklore’ is at the heart of much controversy. First used in England in the middle of the 19th century, the term literally means “knowledge of the people ”. Though assimilated with tradition and at first glance the opposite of avant-garde

Folklore, ambiguity, and paradox. The term ‘folklore’ is at the heart of much controversy. First used in England in the middle of the 19th century, the term literally means “knowledge of the people ”. Though assimilated with tradition and at first glance the opposite of avant-garde, folklore has clearly inspired contemporary art. A Mucem exhibition of the same name sheds light on this ambiguous relationship through 360 works and objects from the museum’s own collections and the Centre Pompidou national museum for modern art. Folklore points out the abundance of shapes, motifs and techniques that have helped renew the vocabulary of the plastic arts.
