3pm - 4pm : Guided tour of the exhibition "Contre Nature" at MOCO.Panacée
Contre-Nature is an exhibition populated by monsters, insolent and hybrid forms: these grotesque creatures, made of enamel and earth, form a lush, original, mysterious, disturbing or hallucinatory world. Nature is artifice and artifice becomes nature in order to decategorize scales and values, to overturn perceptions and clichés about sculpture and the ceramic tradition. The collected works deal less with ceramics as folklore than with modelling and alchemy as techniques and magic. Water, earth and fire are the essential, unequalled components of these new worlds: "what is against nature is called against custom" (Montaigne). (Montaigne).
Price: Free
Meeting point: in front of the school (2 rue Jules Ferry) 15 minutes before
