Invitation to six artists to illuminate the six confessionals with contemporary works. The confessionals express the theme of the back and the attic, as they were once used to hold the most hidden of human feelings and regrets. Our aim here is to restore the value of this furniture, which may be out of fashion today, by illuminating it with visual art.
The exhibition will run until 8 June. Exhibition curator: Monique VOZ
