Oeuvres d'art contemporain à Charleroi
Sous la verrière du BPS22, l’exposition Novê Salm vous plonge au cœur des ateliers de La S, lieux de partage à Vielsalm où se rejoignent toutes les obsessions et les désirs qui habitent les uns et les autres : l’amour, le corps, les véhicules, la maison individuelle, le banquet, le cinéma, Johnny Hallyday, etc.
Les artistes, qu'ils portent ou non une déficience mentale, s'emploient à tous les médiums :
- oeuvres graphiques
- pièces sonores
- vidéos
- animations 3D et créations numériques
- performances musicales
- éditions...
Une immersion dans l'art brut à ne pas manquer dans la cité carolo.
