exhibition
The Verlaine media library is hosting a major exhibition dedicated to Jean Vodaine, inviting visitors to discover the richness of his work through an immersive journey at the heart of his creative process. This exhibition pays tribute to poet, engraver and typographer Jean Vodaine (1921-2006), also known as Friedrich Vladimir Kaucic, a poet, publisher and artist who lived in Lorraine. Initially trained in manual trades, he later devoted himself to printing and painting. Vodaine founded several journals, including "Poésie avec nous", "Le Courrier de la poésie" with Edmond Dune, and "Dire", an internationally recognized publication. The reviews featured works and artists such as Arrabal, Henry Miller, Léopold Sedar Senghor, Ernest Hemingway, Allen Ginsberg, Gaston Chaissac, and Jean Dubuffet. He once stated: “I do not make art, I make things. I make things to better serve poetry.”
