On Friday 9th from 6 p.m. La Piscine invites you to the opening of its new autumn season exhibitions:

• > Neither God nor master! Arts and anarchy from Courbet to Banksy
• > Denim Revolution
  This autumn, La Piscine – Musée d'art et d'industrie André Diligent, presents through its programming two perspectives on possible dialogues between creation and society.
  Synonymous with disorder in everyday language, anarchy became a political thought in the middle of the 19th century. By the place they reserve for individual freedom, anarchist ideas have seduced since their emergence in the 1840s, a number of artists – from Courbet to Banksy, through the actors of May 68 or even later the punks. The exhibition Neither God nor Master! Arts and Anarchy from Courbet to Banksy offers a glimpse into this little-known history, which resonates with highly topical political and social questions.
  Heir to the canvases of Genoa and Nîmes, worn across the Atlantic as workwear and then around the world as a staple of everyday life, jeans sometimes also have a rebellious dimension. Proclaiming the identity of its wearer and blue page invested by the creators, Denim Revolution paints a history on the floor of the basin, combining industrial memory and contemporary fashion.
  The exhibition "Neither God nor master! Arts et anarchie" benefits from the support and exceptional loans of the Musée d'Orsay, the Bibliothèque Nationale de France and the Annonciade Museum in Saint-Tropez. It is designed and organized with the Museum of Fine Arts and Archaeology of Besançon – City of Besançon
  The opening is free and open to all.
  The speeches will be followed by a concert of the electro-rock group ACHAB
