The film begins to feel the first effectsToo fast he could probably put a stop to this dynamicHowever the management they are the sameThe financial crisis is therefore passed by thereAlbert Baussan is at the origin of the creation of Leader PriceAmerican distance selling players have a smileRegional branches have no room for manoeuvre5 million households who do not have ADSLStudents it is true to invest in bottomThe two events have no direct relationshipMake a show of force of French art. It is the goal every three years, at the Grand Palais, "the Force of art". The operation was devised in 2006 by Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin to meet the principle according to which it defends well what one knows and appreciates. In Britain as in the US, there are events completely dedicated to local production. This is that the France, too, can grow its doodle. For this cry sounds throughout the territory and outside our borders, it must be thunderous. The cru 2009 "The force of art" is not. It is a warm and uneven proposal in place until June 1.
Yet, all the assets are: a budget of 4 million, spectacular facilities. Damage. The three Commissioners of the operation have chosen artists in good intelligence. Each in its own way has proven: Didier Ottinger, art historian who has just signed the exhibition about Futurism at the centre Pompidou, Jean-Louis Froment, long at the head of the LCDR de Bordeaux, at the time the institution the most cutting edge of Europe, and Jean-Yves Jouannais, brilliant theorist of contemporary art.
Uneven quality
First: the majestic framework of the Grand Palais has shrunk into a white structure signed by the architect Philippe Rahm, composed of separate modules for each artist. Art breaks not out in space. It is the narrow in this location yet grandiose. Second ground: the works are of uneven quality, chosen for some with complacency. The rest: artists young and imaginative, even crazy. So who is this Lyon who has chosen pseudonym "Nice boy" Its installation is called "The triumph of the snow". An enormous igloo composed of an infinite number of crystals in white synthetic material assembled. It is fun. An artificial snow snowman, King of the place, throne at the center of the space. It's as a microclimate. Indeed this reminds the mock-up of Louvre Abu Dhabi new Jean. The Marseillaise Anita Molinero, unknown on the national scene, has made a monumental sculpture of Red stalactites plastic. Closely, we understand it's garbage burned and melted. The Wang lives in Alfortville marked by his spectacular work in the media. This time, he proposed a giant kebab of several metres high, consisting of a pile of newspapers. The visitor climbs the stairs of wood to print, can cut which exceeds, as for meat... In the same way that the reader takes well above... information. Pascal Convert imagined a kind of bas-relief of large format glass box of a metal frame, representing the hero of the resistance Joseph Epstein. As a monument of ancient to a player in recent history. Should read the story that tells it. And then there is Julien Prévieux, who developed a large library made only obsolete books with titles that make smile but which certainly were best-sellers in their time: "Objective tomorrow", "Future scenarios" "The woman in the modern world..." Finally, if you pass the evening before the Grand Palace, you will see at the top of the majestic glass roof flashing red light. It is the work of Jean-Baptiste Ganne which broadcasts during any "the Force of art" the novel of Don Quixote in morse code. A utopia of love and adventure. A beacon of contemporary art on the city of lights.
