3 Femmes dans la Ville
Esplanade Charles-de-Gaulle, Montpellier, France
A partir du 13 Juin l’Espace Dominique Bagouet vous invite à découvrir l' exposition, « 3 Femmes dans la ville », présentant le travail de Sonia Bazantay, Clara Castagné et Karen Thomas.
Les 3 femmes présentées ici sont bien différentes. Chacune d'elles incarne, selon sa personne et ses choix, une des voies de la création contemporaine. Une chose les unit pourtant, et donne sa cohérence à cette exposition : l'importance que toutes les trois accordent au geste.
