Catalogue for the "The Outlines of Emptiness : lace and interlace in design" exhibition, on the Museum from 9 July-30 November 2008.

"Qu'est-ce que la dentelle ? Des fils qui se croisent pour cerner la lumière ou l'ombre, selon qu'une pièce est placée à contre-jour ou pas. Privée de ses fils, une dentelle peut devenir de papier, de résine, d'acier ou de bois. Elle fait la synthèse entre des vides et des pleins, entre la lumière et l'ombre ; elle capture les opposés et les lie structurellement."

Contes du Velay (Tales from the Velay region), tales which have been gathered by Victor Smith from 1869 to1876. Comments from Marie-Louise Tenèze.
(2005, 20 x 20 cm, 243 pages, french, 23 € + postage)

A series of marvellous, facetious, anecdotal or animal tales issued from Retournac, Chamalières-sur-Loire, Vorey and their surrounds ; which will in turn ask us questions, make us dream, educate us, amuse us, make us understand the men and the deep natural heritage which we hold within us. These popular tales were gathered by Victor Smith (1826-1882) who was one of the great collectors of popular poetry in France in the middle of the 19th century.

His manuscripts, kept in the "Catholic Institute Library" in Paris, were studied and annoted by Marie-Louise Tenèze, in charge of research in the CNRS. Her precious work brings to light the interest of such a collection, one of the last of the period which was last to be left unpublished, for the knoledge and the valorization of heritage that constitute popular tales.
