Jean-Marie Bytebier. Rendez-vous

Rendez-vous is the encounter between Belgian artist Jean-Marie Bytebier and Fontevraud. It\'s also the public\'s encounter with his work, presented in two distinct locations: within the permanent collections of the Fontevraud Museum of Modern Art and in the village\'s former presbytery. The artist has been offered two different exhibition spaces in which to install his works ?one a museum with its contemporary exhibition display, the other a domestic setting with 18th-century wood paneling. Some of these works were specially created during an artistic residency at Fontevraud in December 2023, where he was able to immerse himself in the premises, the architecture, and the surrounding nature.
Jean-Marie Bytebier (b.1963), lives and works in Mariakerke, Belgium.
This book was published alongside the exhibition Rendez-vous at the Musée d\'Art Moderne de Fontevraud-Collections Nationales Martine et Léon Cligman, from 23 March to 30 June 2024.
