The long-awaited art reception at Galerie des Marches in Aubusson, France on October 15th was fabulous! I could hardly wait to share the images with you, so without further ado, here is my newly installed collection of artwork.
Pour yourself a glass of wine, nibble on some good French cheese, and invite a friend or loved one to visit the exhibition with you.
Feel free to add your comments, questions, or inquiries on the artwork. I’d love to hear how the artwork connects with you.
It was the most wonderful evening after so many years of working towards making this exhibition a reality.

At the end of the evening we lingered outside the gallery to discuss the exhibit further. I cannot imagine a better evening. Merci, Aubusson.

L'invitation, en français:
15/10 - 18h - Inauguration "PLACES & NAMES" - une installation de RENÉ D. SHOEMAKER - galerie des marches / Aubusson
Chers amis,
« Places and names » est une installation textile toute en légèreté que l’artiste américaine René D. Shoemaker met en place pour la première fois comme un trait d’union entre son pays natal et sa Creuse d’adoption.
L’évidence d’une nécessaire simplicité dans la relation entre positionnement de tous et identité de chacun y prolonge en subtils chromatismes et douce ironie la quête d’une ligne par laquelle cette spécialiste de la soie trace depuis quarante ans un chemin discret comme une silencieuse et sagace balade mémorielle.
Si « Places and names » interroge notre condition déambulatoire avec gaité et pudeur à la fois, sa présence en nos murs jusqu’à la fin de l’année en cours permettra aussi d’accueillir le 22 octobre la poétesse anglaise Kate Rose pour une lecture publique à partir de son nouveau recueil « Brushstrokes » (Mosaïquepress), à 17 heures alors.
En écho avec la première participation de René D. Shoemaker au programme de la SmallArt Gallery de Rochester (Minnesota), nous sommes donc enchantés de déjà vous convier à cette inauguration aubussonnaise samedi 15 octobre à partir de 18h.

The invitation, in English:
October 15, 2022 - 6 PM. Private view: “PLACES & NAMES” - an installation by RENÉ D. SHOEMAKER - Galerie des Marches, Aubusson
Dear friends,
“Places and names” is a graceful textile installation that the American artist René D. Shoemaker arranges together in place for the first time as a link between her native country and the Creuse of her adoption.
The evidence of a necessary simplicity in the relationship between the positioning of the artwork and the identity that each one prolongs in subtle chromatism and gentle irony in the quest for a line by which this specialist of silk for forty year traces a discreet path like a silent and sagacious memory walk.
If “Places and names” questions our ambulatory condition with gaiety and modesty, its presence on our walls until the end of the current year will also allow us to welcome on October 22 the English poet Kate Rose for a public reading of her new collection “Brushstrokes”, (Mosaique Press) at 5 pm.
Echoing René Shoemaker’s first participation in the program of the SmällArt Gallery in Rochester Minnesota, we are delighted to invite you to this inauguration in Aubusson on Saturday, 15 October from 6 pm.
