Ma main à couper

Agathe Berthou, Galeries Nomades 2025

from  to 
“The exhibition takes as its starting point the architecture of the art center. In this space—brutalist in style and imposing in scale—I create a path that contrasts with the verticality and harshness of concrete, proposing an exhibition that is both unstable and sensitive.

In my work, I consider the spaces I inhabit as bodies to be lived in. Sometimes white, sometimes cold, or sometimes imposing and unfeeling, like this concrete colossus. In a way, my artistic practice seeks to bring tenderness and vulnerability to such a place—like an impassive body suddenly inhabited by a fragility it no longer expected.”
Since 2007, every two years, the Galeries Nomades program, supported by the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region, has offered artists from the region’s five art schools (Annecy, Clermont-Ferrand, Grenoble/Valence, Lyon, and Saint-Étienne) guidance in the production of their works and the organization of their first solo exhibition, in partnership with creative and cultural venues across the region.

In 2025, Galeries Nomades will unfold across the Savoie Mont Blanc territory, at the Maison forte de Hautetour in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains and at CURIOX, the art and meeting center in Ugine—both members of the Réseau Altitudes, a network dedicated to contemporary art in alpine settings.
