Summary: The exhibition invites us to engage anew with what iconoclasm is to be, and allow us to sense three major forms of timely iconoclasm - beyond the old dichotomy between "image-breakers" and "image-slaves". Firstly, their relation to the public sphere: the thirteen artists included do not belong to the mainstream; but they are not invisible either. They have made the choice of discreet action, of an existential workshop where things can happen and really be made.
