Lafayette Anticipations – Fonds de dotation Famille Moulin is a partner of the Festival d’Automne and supported the artist Karla Black.
Her work – found at the limits of painting, sculpture and installation – examines the subtleties of gravity, light, immateriality and various colours.
The work on display at the Archives nationales is a response to the decorative dimension of the rococo salons of the Hôtel de Soubise and, particularly, of the prince’s oval saloon.
