Look Who's Talking: Vanessa Desclaux (FR)
Building upon her personal experience of working with Marc Camille Chaimowicz, independent curator and writer Vanessa Desclaux explores the literary elements in his practice. Speaking in the exhibition, surrounded by the new suite of collages he produced inspired by Flaubert’s Madame Bovary, Desclaux will connect Chaimowicz’s work to other key French literary sources.
Free entry with exhibition ticket.
