ICICLE Cultural Space, 35 avenue George V, 75008

March 15 – May 30, 2023

ICICLE’s Cultural Space, 35 avenue George V, Paris 75008, will welcome a spring season interweaving painting, music and literature, with the paintings of Vicky Colombet, the cello of Sonia Wieder-Atherton and the books of Chantal Thomas.

Conceived by Myriam Kryger, this series unfolds around Colombet’s “Antarctica-Shanshui” exhibition and the first iteration of a series of events entitled “Artistic Confidences”. Art historian Marianne Mathieu, and journalist Kathleen Evin, guide us on this journey through the arts, in the company of creator-explorers concerned with connecting continents and building bridges between shores.

“Artistic Confidences” events hosted by Kathleen Evin

With the visual artist Vicky Colombet, on Wednesday March 15, 6pm-7pm

With the cellist Sonia Wieder-Atherton, on Tuesday April 4, 6:30-7:30 pm

With the writer Chantal Thomas, on Wednesday May 24, 6:30-7:30 pm

“In front of a canvas that hypnotizes us, listening to a musical phrase to which we abandon ourselves, closing a book that seemed to speak only to us, the mystery remains intact.  The intimacy suddenly felt with the artist does not make the creative process any more intelligible.   Where does this gesture, this note, this sentence that has reached our soul come from?   From this necessarily awkward question that we ask ourselves, without daring to formulate it as it seems naive, what secret place can we try to graze by listening to them confide...?  (Kathleen Evin)
