LA FEMME DE TRENTE ANS
2015-06-08The exhibition title La Femme de trente ans (“A Woman of Thirty”) is just an amused wink at the eponymous work by Balzac, a way of placing the exhibition under the auspices of a novel that depicts (from man’s point of view) the not enviable life course of a woman in the 19th century after her thirtieth year. The title of the novel is a contradiction in itself, since it evokes a “type”,
“the” thirty-year-old woman, whereas it extends to the successive stages of a woman’s life through different ages and that it was also initially split into separate novellas, featuring several characters, not just one single woman.
Artists featured in the exhibition, Jean-Luc Blanc, Whitney Bedford, Judith Bernstein, Marvin Gaye Chetwynd, Lothar Hempel, Celia Hempton, Hedwig Houben, Tatiana Rihs and Walter Robinson.
Exhibition runs through to July 25th, 2015
