Intro

Les boutons, objet du quotidien, objet porteur d'histoires et d'expressions identitaires.

Inspiré d’un recueil de poésie de Gertrude Stein, l’exposition Tender Buttons propose une approche transdisciplinaire et plurielle à une typologie d’objet singulière. Plus de trois cents boutons dialoguent avec des œuvres du Musée Ariana, datant du 18e siècle à nos jours.

Les boutons en céramique et verre se révèlent les supports d’expérimentations formelles, mais aussi sources de survie, d’expression identitaire et de collaboration. Les histoires sociales méconnues de ces objets portés au quotidien sont mises en vitrine dans une architecture aux allures des passages couverts commerciaux du 19e siècle, période phare pour l’industrialisation du bouton en porcelaine et en verre.

Commissariat: Claire FitzGerald, conservatrice en chef, Musée Ariana

L’exposition bénéficie du concours du MuMode (Musée suisse de la Mode) d’Yverdon-les-Bains avec une sélection inédite de leur collection du musée du Bouton d’Estévenans, augmentée de prêts des Musées de la Ville de Paris, et de collections particulières.
