  • Location: Soho20 Chelsea Gallery, 548 West 28th Street, suite 333, New York NY 10001
  • Description:

    Du 26 mai au 20 juin, la galerie Soho20 présente, I Am Your Labyrinth , une nouvelle installation de l'artiste francaise Francine LeClercq.

    Dans cette œuvre, l'artiste utilise une fois de plus personnages mythologiques et references historiques  dans sa recherche sur la perception contemporaine, la spécificité, le lieu et  la présence du spectateur comme parties intégrantes de l'ouvrage.
    Dispersées dans le lieu réel de la galerie et dans une maquette même de cet espace, une multitude de tablettes dépeignent la statue emblématique de "l'Ariadne Endormie". La relation entre le spectateur et le travail est mise en évidence dans cet échange de répétition et d' échelle.
    Francine LeClercq a fait ses études à l'école des Arts décoratifs de Strasbourg. Son travail a été exposé dans des galeries et musées en Europe et aux États-Unis et a reçu de nombreuses mentions nationales et internationales.

    Opera Lafayette
    L’Épreuve Villageoise

    Wednesday, May 27, 2015 at 7:30pm
    Thursday, May 28, 2015 at 7pm.

    Opera Lafayette’s 20th anniversary season closes with an opera that delighted audiences during the early 19th century, not only in an opera-rich Europe, but also in the young American cities of New Orleans and New York.

    With an extraordinary cast hailing from the three nations whose cultures animated New Orleans at the time – France, Spain, and the United States – Opera Lafayette re-imagines a performance by the storied Théatre d’Orléans.

    Grétry’s L’Épreuve Villageoise depicts the trials and tribulations of a small country town. The rustic story and charming musical composition blend beautifully, emphasizing an essential aspect of Grétry’s operas that helped ensure his place as one of the 18th century’s most admired composers.

    CAST
    Sophie Junker – Denise (5/28)
    Pascale Beaudin – Denise (5/27)
    Talise Trevigne – Madame Hubert
    Thomas Dolié – La France

    "Tu dors Nicole" opens May 29th in New York at Lincoln Plaza Cinema

    www.tudorsnicole.com 

    Nicole (Julianne Côte) is adrift after college graduation, working a dead-end summer job in her small Quebec hometown and spending evenings with her best pal, Véronique. When her older brother Remi unexpectedly returns with his bandmates in tow, disrupting the girls' half-baked summer, it becomes clear to Nicole that something must and will change. Shot in luminous black and white and infused with a sultry melancholy, Tu dors Nicole brilliantly captures that liminal stage where the fading yet familiar attachments of childhood still seem far more appealing, precious, and real than the sterility of the grown-up world.
