Collections les Abattoirs, Musée - Frac Occitanie Toulouse : Nina Childress, documentation céline duval, Thomas P. Kausel, Ange Leccia, Françoise Maisongrande, Marie-Claire Piekolek, Bernard Quesniaux
Since 2015, Les Abattoirs, Musée - Frac Occitanie Toulouse and the Caroline Baron residence in Toulouse have been presenting an exhibition of works from the collections in a dedicated space, designed in consultation with residents and care staff. For this edition, the choice fell on works that evoke art and sport, making the link with the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
To mark the event, art therapy workshops and meetings are being organised within the establishment. The project is highlighting a real cooperative effort around an "outside the walls" exhibition project proposed by Les Abattoirs. This collective initiative also highlights the importance of giving older people projects to experience within the residence, thereby preserving their ability to be an integral part of the city and society as a whole.
