What to do this month

Pour la saison estivale, le Musée Bruck est fier de présenter L’inclassable, une exposition de Bernice Angeline Sorge composée de plus de 80 œuvres retraçant son parcours des années 1970 jusqu’à présent.

BRUCK MUSEUM – From July 11 to September 7, 2024, the Bruck Museum is proud to present L’inclassable, an exhibition by artist Bernice Angeline Sorge featuring over 80 works tracing her career from the 1970s to the present day.

Bernice Angeline Sorge’s work is fundamentally experimental and defies categorization. Her art and her history are inseparable, and her paintings, often accompanied by a quotation or poem, are intimately linked to her identity and memory.

To find out more about the exhibition and the two artists’ approach, consult this press release (in french only).
