In my hunger for art, I took the buses to Carcassonne - note, trains in disarray due to work on the line that will last until mid December - and found a wonderful show at the Maison des Memoires, which is fast becoming my favorite gallery in all the world. Free, empty, lovely toilets. And the current show is of photographs (a medium that usually leaves me cold ) and is amazing. Small, but perfectly formed. Below are some extracts.
On the way back to the station caught this enigmatic sculpture by the lock on the canal... nice.
Talking of hunger for art... you are invited to the vernissage at the gallery 'Artavec', 28 Rue Victor Hugo, Esperaza. 6pm till 8.pm, 7th December. Most of the artists who live here are exhibiting - its ADADE, the Association of the Artists of Esperaza, curated by our president Kat Head and the gallery owner Richard Lyons. The tasters l've seen are exciting :)
Good article. I'm facing a few of these issues as well..
