Hedendaagse kunstwerken in Charleroi
Onder het glazen dak van BPS22 dompelt de tentoonstelling Novê Salm je onder in de ateliers van La S, ontmoetingsplaatsen in Vielsalm waar alle obsessies en verlangens van de bewoners samenkomen: liefde, het lichaam, voertuigen, het eigen huis, het banket, de cinema, Johnny Hallyday, enz.
De kunstenaars, met of zonder verstandelijke beperking, gebruiken alle mogelijke media:
- grafische werken
- geluidswerken
- video's
- 3D-animaties en digitale creaties
- muzikale performances
- uitgaven...
Een onderdompeling in de outsiderkunst die je niet mag missen in de stad Charleroi.
