The exhibition titled "Concrete Dialogues" by Carlos Cruz-Diez at the Espace de l'Art Concret (EAC), a contemporary art center located in the South of France, will take place from June 24, 2017 to May 27, 2018. It will include artworks lent by the Cruz-Diez Art Foundation that will be shown for the first time in France and will offer educational workshops for children and young people. The exhibition proposes a dialogue between the Collection Albers-Honegger and Cruz-Diez's kinetic works. About this, Cruz-Diez said the following: "I am honored to have been given the opportunity by the Espace de l'Art Concret to encourage these dialogues between my works and works by other artists that are part of the important collection developed by Gottfried Honegger and Sybil Albers-Barrier with the goal of sharing with the public their great passion for art," and added, "Honegger is a fellow artist and friend who I have always admired for his originality and conceptual rigor." Both artists met in 1968 while participating in the exhibition titled "Environment Tafelbild, Licht und Bewegung, Umgebung (Bonalumi, Cruz-Diez, Honegger)," at the Museum am Ostwall, in Dortmund, Germany. Founded in 1990, the EAC was conceived as an artistic and cultural project associated with the "education of the gaze." Today, it houses the more than 500 abstract, geometric, and constructed artworks from the collection donated by Sybil Albers and Gottfried Honegger. At 94, Cruz-Diez will play the double role of being both exhibitor and curator. About his participation, he said: "Being also the curator represents an enormous responsibility, given that the task also implies discarding any affection that may prevent me from becoming a rigorous analyst." Cruz-Diez selected representative pieces of the different inquiries pertaining to the chromatic universe that he has been developing since 1954. The pieces included in "Concrete Dialogues" reveal color as a circumstance continuously shaped and reshaped in a time-space dialectic, through a dialogue with works by other artists like Josef Albers, Gorin, Herbin, Honegger, Yves Klein, Sol LeWitt, François Morellet, Jean Arp, Jesús Rafael Soto, Aurelie Nemours, Antonio Calderara, and Max Bill, among others.
