Salon Amours V

PREFACE

No love is “foreign” to us because man has more in common than differences. Madame Butterfly, Carmen, those are not foreign to us. A human love is never “foreign” to another human.

Hence the stupidity of Nations and their laws, their borders, their territories traced in pencil on old maps.

You can make a circle of fire to chase away wolves but not men, nor women.

Who knows if this judge is not sending away the love of his life by deporting this Congolese woman to a country she no longer wants? Who knows if this Russian is not murdering his cousin by killing this young Ukrainian?

Love has no borders, no social class, no master, no god, love is anarchist.

That being said, it is impossible to love everyone at the same time and the galleries only have four walls, hence the difficult choices for this fifth show, especially since there were numerous applications. The absence of a CV may play a role, but a CV is a source of exclusion and arbitrary elitism. In this salon inspired by the salons of yesteryear, the choice falls first on the works and on the unknown, the newcomer.

In a free and democratic country, international preference must be exercised; openness is the sine qua non condition of love.

Welcome to love!
