Musee Adzak: France

S ituated a block away from rue Raymond Losserand, just behind the Square Losserand-Suisses, the somewhat obsure Atelier Adzak is a showcase for the works of British sculptor, photographer, and painter Wright Royston Adzak (1927-1987), as well as a living and working space for artists from around the world. The proprietor is Margaret Crowther.

Adzak, who is best known for his plant and animal “dehydrations” and for the Anthropometric man(1) series, built the studio with his own hands in the 1980s, along with the permanent sculpture garden. There are frequent temporary exhibitions of painting, drawing and sculpture by associated artists.

D uring the recent past, artists-in-residence and exhibitors at the Musee Atelier Adzak have included Dilys Bryon, Richard Campbell, Matthew Chase-Daniel, Franck K. Lundangi, Lluis Marti, Jean Money, Didier de Nayer, Gerda Schutte, and Werner Stadler. The place also hosts poetry readings from time to time, as an accompaniment to special exhibits.

The Musee Atelier Adzak is usually open on Saturdays and Sundays from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m. during exhibitions. Phone in advance for information, or to visit at other times.
