With "Toute la beauté du monde", the Fondation d'entreprise Hermès continues to support contemporary creation. In the exhibition space of La Grande Place, Musée Saint-Louis, Strasbourg artist Léa Barbazanges presents some fifteen recent works made from plant, mineral and animal materials and textures.
Conceived as both a visual and sensory experience, this exhibition, curated by Estelle Pietrzyk, Head Curator of Heritage at Strasbourg's Musée d'Art Moderne et Contemporain (MAMCS), is as much for the eye as for the sense of touch. Polymorphic, it reads like a snapshot of Léa Barbazanges' work, in which the different kingdoms of life are intertwined. Playing with variations between the empty and the full, the visible and the imperceptible, the artist composes works that invite us to slow down our gaze and pay attention to what usually escapes perception.
