POUR NE JAMAIS RENCONTRER LA DERNIÈRE HEURE
MAISON MARIA CASARÈS . ALLOUE . FRANCE
2021

Curator : Marie-Cécile Zinsou

With the help of a guide and in groups, visitors discover the history of the Logis de la Vergne (listed in the supplementary inventory of historical monuments) and particularly the life of Maria Casarès: her life as an artist, a refugee, a woman of the 20th century. Beyond the traces left by its illustrious owner, this visit is also an opportunity to discover the work of the artist, Joël Andrianomearisoa. The summer of 2021 has a special flavor. It is the last summer where visitors can discover the house as Maria Casarès left it. Necessary renovation work could not wait any longer. In order to celebrate this particular moment in the history of the Domaine, we had to ritualize this mourning in order to welcome this new stage.
We asked Joël Andrianomearisoa to come and intervene in these spaces and to propose installations in the Logis, to put into perspective with all his sensitivity and poetry this problem of the passing of time and the traces of the heritage that remain.
