Cahier: A[NO]NIMAS
In 2009, the collaborating municipalities in the region Carmausin (FR) took the initiative to make it possible for artists to work in the glass workshop of the Musée/Centre d'art du verre in Carmaux. The results of these residences are now published in a so-called cahier each year. Each cahier is at the same time a testimony, a log and an extension of the work that artists produced in Carmaux. The first cahier: A (NO) NIMAS is a collection of portraits accompanied by a tribute. In 2011 the artist-in-residence in Carmaux was the young artist Laetitia Andrighetto.
