Zooscopies exhibition: zoology collections as seen by Judith Rothchild

Faculty of Education, espace culturel, bâtiment A - 2 place Marcel Godechot, Montpellier.
From May 9 to June 12, from Monday to Friday 1pm to 5pm, and Saturdays May 11, 18 and 25, 9:30am to 12pm. Closed on May 30, 31 and June 10.

The University of Montpellier conserves numerous objects and specimens in a wide variety of fields: astronomy, anatomy, botany, paleontology, scientific instruments, ethnology, mineralogy and zoology.

Each spring, these collections resonate with the work of one or more contemporary artists.

This is how Judith Rothchild, an American artist based in the South of France, became attracted to the zoology collection, and in particular to the sometimes unusual arrangement of the animals in storage. The result is a series of large-scale drawings and engravings in the "black manner", both realistic and humorous, where framing and angles of view create poetic or droll settings.
