Initiated by the Fabre Museum in Montpellier, this new collective and travelling exhibition presents reproductions of works from six Fine Arts museums (Montpellier, Lyon, Nantes, Lille, Rouen and Bordeaux), all members of FRAME - FRench American Museum Exchange, a network of cultural cooperation that links thirty-two major French and North American museums (United States and Canada).
Please touch! Art and Matter is a sensitive discovery of the human figure and the techniques and materials of sculpture from Antiquity to 20th century abstraction. Built around four modules, it allows us to understand the methodology of touch, to present various points of view on sculpture (curator, artist, etc.), to evoke the different stages in the making of a sculpture or to see with our body.
Techniques, materials, subjects, the work of art reveals itself in a different way and awakens our senses.
