LES MADAMES,
un show artistique, créé et présenté by Anne Pigalle
Saturday 24th & Sunday 25th of June, midday - 7pm
Following the recent success of her Soho art show Les P'tites Femmes De Soho, Anne Pigalle wants these women to come alive.
Les Madames is a conceptual woman group show event. Real women, women you can meet and talk to, are selling you their wares, their dreams, their fantasies, their ideas of sadness, fun or pleasure.
In a world of increased misogyny, where successful women are the ones still giving into men fantasies, THE MADAMES offer you just a little bit more by inviting you to come for a risqué or enlightening chat, and for objects of creation and passion.
So during these 2 days, this pop up art show/ sale / event will present women of attitude with theirs own idea of delightful, dreamy, surreal, scary expression of their individuality, in a unusual environment.
