Charlotte vander Borght, Metamorphosis (A), 2024, resin, fiberglass, urethane, pigments Fondation CAB Saint-Paul-de-Vence presents CONVERGENCES, a group exhibition bringing together four artists around form, space, and materiality. Curated by Albert Baronian, a historic Belgian gallerist, the exhibition offers a dialogue between generations and mediums. At the heart of this dialogue, the exhibition highlights the legacy of François Morellet (1926–2016, Cholet, FR), a major figure of concrete and minimal art. Throughout his life, he explored geometry, systems, and chance, paving the way for generations of artists and leaving a lasting influence on contemporary creation. His conceptual rigor and inventive freedom resonate directly with the works presented by today’s artists. Charlotte vander Borght (1988, Brussels, BE) extends this reflection by diverting industrial materials that she subjects to constructive rigor while imbuing them with poetic and symbolic [removed];Alain Biltereyst (1965, Brussels, BE), for his part, draws inspiration from the graphic language of urban and commercial signage, which he translates into abstract compositions with subtle rhythms, oscillating between familiarity and pure abstraction. Finally, Olaf Holzapfel (1969, Dresden, DE) explores the relationship between nature and culture, working with wood, straw, and architectural structures that he transforms into genuine plastic languages.

Created in 1968 in Coventry, Great Britain, Art & Language is a collective of British and American artists whose founding members are Terry Atkinson, David Bainbridge, Michael Baldwin, and Harold Hurrell. Joined as early as 1969 by artists such as Joseph Kosuth, Mel Ramsden, and Charles Harrison, the group played a decisive role in the development of conceptual art. Formed in reaction to abstract expressionism, centered on gesture and emotion, Art & Language placed language and concept at the heart of the artwork. Rather than the object, it is the idea, the text, and critical reflection that become the work [removed]; The exhibition brings together works, texts, scores, paintings, and objects covering the period 1965–2025, retracing the major stages of a collective adventure made up of experimentation, debate, and intellectual provocation. Each piece testifies to the way in which Art & Language transformed critique into artistic material and redefined the very notions of the artwork and the [removed]; BOOK LAUNCH AND SIGNING Opening Thursday November 13th from 6 to 9 pm During the opening on November 13 from 6 to 9pm, Art & Language monograph by Mercatorfonds will be launched.
