The duo-visit allows to cross knowledges on a common theme.

In her exhibition Le Plat Principal at CAC – la synagogue de Delme, Magali Reus explores Delme local environnement and history through the figure of Victor Lemoine, well-known botanist and plant-breeder, considered as one of the greatest horticultural hybridisation’s specialist, borned in Delme. 

Following an active tour of the exhibition led by Camille Grasser, head of Public Programs, the participants will be meeting Sébastien Antoine, Scientific head of Temperate Collections, in a space dedicated to the Lorraine horticultural heritage at the Jean-Marie Pelt Botanical Garden in Villers-lès-Nancy.

Peonies, syringas, deutzias, fuschias, we will also discover the remarkable collection of Lemoine’s Lilacs, the most important on an international level. This tour aims to draw a parallel between the hybridisation’s shapes effective in the sculptures and photographs of the artist and those effective in the vegetable world through the creation of Victor Lemoine.

Saturday April 29th 2023, from 1.30 to 5.30 p.m.
Free, admission at 03 87 01 43 42 or publics@cac-synagoguedelme.org
