Hervé Fischer's 'Musée interrogatif' Exhibition at Perpignan Art Center Through April 2026

Hervé Fischer, a Franco-Canadian artist and philosopher, presents his 'Musée interrogatif' exhibition at the Perpignan contemporary art center until April 17, 2026. Over 100 works trace his career, curated by Marie-Laure Desjardins. The show marks his return to Catalan lands, where he conducted actions in the Pyrénées-Orientales starting in 1970. Key loans from the Musée d’art moderne de Céret include pieces from 'Pharmacie Fischer' (1972), where Fischer dispensed prescriptions and pills to address existential ailments, and 'Hygiène de l’art' (1974) with hand motifs on everyday towels. Fischer’s art interrogates society, its codes, and myths, addressing current issues like globalization, economic terror, environmental disaster, and digital communication. His landscape works mirror stock market curves, and he creates large-scale, scannable QR codes in bold colors. The hand, a recurring social organ in his work, appears in recent paintings alongside hybrid forms and Matisse-like hues, suggesting universal solidarity and growth. At 85, Fischer advocates 'hyper-humanism' as an ethical awakening of shared responsibility. The exhibition is accompanied by a book titled 'Musée interrogatif Hervé Fischer' with contributions from multiple authors, published by Artshebdomédias, 140 pages. A 2025 acrylic painting, 'Ma Frontière', 80 x 120 cm, is featured.
