Hollywood 1927. George Valentin (Jean Dujardin) is a silent movie superstar. The advent of the talkies will sound the death knell for his career and see him fall into oblivion.

The Vicky David Gallery is proud to present an exhibition of the Belgian artist Arne Quinze.

The gallery will present pieces from the series "My Home, My House, My Stilthouse" which plays on the dichotomy between chaos and equilibrium. From the appearant fragility of his material emerges overflowing energy and pure beauty.  Arne Quinze dreams of an ideal society in which all individuals communicate and interact with each other. Eclectically he uses paintings, drawings, sculptures and monumental installations to develop his work in the urban movement, by focusing on the themes: Order, Disorder, Structure and Habitation.

Beginning in the early 2000’s, Arne Quinze’s œuvre is the subject of many public and private installations around the world such as ("Uchronia", Nevada, USA; "Timegate", Miami, USA; "Rebirth", Paris, FRANCE; "Red Beacon", Shanghai, CHINA; "Camille", Rouen, FRANCE; "The Sequence", Brussels, BELGIUM; "The Traveller", Munich, GERMANY ; "The Visitor", Beirut, LEBANON).

French actress and singer Floanne Ankah recounts the Piaf story. This authentic ‘chanteuse’ and farm girl opens the door to her culture, by taking a closer look at the legendary ‘Little Sparrow’ —with that husky, mournful voice so popular in the 1940’ and 50’s. The performance is a culturally rich and moving presenta- tion that will make you smile, with tunes transporting you to other times and places.

Yes, both Floanne and Edith Piaf will be attending the rendez-vous in a medley of vintage tunes from their native France... with a modern twist. She w

“She's not especially beautiful or intelligent or sincere, but she’s a real woman,” says one of the smitten leads of Jules and Jim. He’s describing Jeanne Moreau’s capricious romantic but could well be speaking of the actress herself. Moreau—who embodied the style and free spirit of the New Wave with her unique combination of confidence and vulnerability—has made more than 100 films with top filmmakers around the globe. Orson Welles called her “the greatest actress in the world.”

L'enseignement / apprentissage des langues évolue et la didactique transforme et enrichit le métalangage de ce domaine. Ainsi, le Cadre européen commun de Référence pour les Langues propose et recommande l'utilisation d'une terminologie précise.

L'objectif de cet atelier est de tenter de parvenir à l'adoption, au partage et à l'utilisation d'un métalangage commun afin d'uniformiser dans ses pratiques quotidiennes le vocabulaire technique lié aux langues. L'atelier alternera systématiquement théorie et pratique à travers différentes activités.
