Three Concurrent Exhibitions in Mons: Verlaine, Parade Sauvage, and L'Homme, le dragon et la mort
The Belgian city of Mons hosted three simultaneous exhibitions during the 2015-2016 winter season, despite their apparent thematic disconnect. At BAM (Beaux-Arts Mons), 'Verlaine / Parade Sauvage' ran from 17 October 2015 to 24 January 2016, while at MAC's (Musée des Arts Contemporains), 'L'Homme, le dragon et la mort' was on view from 18 October 2015 to 17 January 2016. The exhibitions were reviewed in artpress n°430, February 2016, pp. 24-25. The review notes that at first glance, nothing seems to link the three shows except their temporal overlap in the final season of Mons as European Capital of Culture 2015.
