On the morning of August 8, outside the opening hours of the temporary Pascalho Gallery in Gourdon, a group of residents from Perce-Neige had arranged a visit. It was a new experience for these residents, who were all very curious to discover the work of the six artists presented by Pascalho, the exhibition curator.
Béatrice, the medical-psychological assistant who accompanied them, explained that these residents regularly go on outings to the movies, the theater, and exhibitions, and participate in adapted sports such as archery, judo, and horseback riding. “Since we walked back, overall it was a very positive experience,” she added. “They appreciated the setting and the warm welcome. They understood that this visit had been arranged specifically for their group and in a private setting, with a lot of attention paid to their questions. They really enjoyed it.”
For Gwendoline, it was a nice outing. For Corine, it was really enjoyable to be able to talk and play around with the themes of certain paintings, such as the one of the woman seen from all angles (Patricia Prunier’s triptych “Les Venus”). Claudine really liked the interactive display featuring the double abstract painting (the diptych “Colors of Storm” by Denis Grué) and Dragomir’s large-scale works, as well as the TV installation. She told me: “I think it’s very modern, but the nudes bother me a little, and I don’t understand why people paint nudes! But it was very interesting.”
The Perce-Neige Foundation aims to provide appropriate care and support for children and adults with physical or mental disabilities. It promotes scientific and medical research by collaborating with individuals and organizations that share similar goals. Perce-Neige thus continues the work begun in 1966 by Lino Ventura, in keeping with the values of its founder.
