My last, “Great Black Music,” at the Cité de La Musique. Captivating, for those interested in the birth of a musical movement. First of all the installation is terrific: Great number of audiovisual archives, lots of well conceived educational modules and interactive venues. But not only does this show pay rend homage to black American and African music, it also talks about how a movement is born. How does the techniques evolve in function of an artist, a voice an event? It also seeks out the dialectics of oppressed people and their rapport with art. Or how to perceive that for many of these artists the slightest small piece that seems diverting in fact reaches out much further in just a single voice.
GIFTS!
Yet another, you could say! Yes but so practical. It’s THE boutique where you can go eyes closed when you have to make a gift (feminine, or for kids 0 to 6 years). They have all the budgets (from 10 to 80 E), and it’s a happy very organized bazaar where you are bound to find what you want : jewelry, bags, change purses, lovely tableware, notebooks, scarves, puzzles, long wreaths……
I go there when I run out of ideas and inspiration is immediate!
