Nights

LITERATURE & PHOTOGRAPHY

4 July 2018

07.00 PM - 10.00 PM

Église des Trinitaires, Palais de l’Archevêché, Maison des peintres and Croisière.

Special moments with authors in intimate festival venues. Readings/performances echo the exhibitions. Shows in the center of town are free and open at night just for this occasion.

7 P.M. — Richard Brautigan

An actor reads from Trout Fishing in America for the exhibition The Hobbyist, Looking for Passion (Église des Trinitaires). In Richard Brautigan’s world, tigers are excellent at arithmetic, friendly trout always give good advice and carrots and rutabagas have statues erected to them in public places

8 P.M. — Marie-Hélène Lafon

Album (Éditions Buchet/Chastel) for William Wegman’s Being Human exhibition (Palais de l’Archevêché). A chosen primer ranging from Cows to Dogs, Newspapers and Tractors.

9 P.M. — Pierre Ducrozet

L'Invention des corps (Actes Sud) for Matthieu Gafsou’s H+ exhibition (Maison des peintres). A far-reaching exploration of the networks that irrigate and reshape contemporary life, from the human body to the World Wide Web , L’Invention des corps is a suspenseful look at the challenges of modernity.

10 P.M. — Nathalie Quintane

Un oeil en moins (P.O.L.) for the exhibition 1968, What a Story! (Croisière). There is no such thing as a relative revolt, a small revolt or even a defeated or aborted revolution, to quote Rimbaud. There are only logical, exalted or subsequently erased revolts.
