  • 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.

  • EDITH PIAF AT 100: A celebration of her Centennial

  • Jun 9, 2015 at 4:00pm to Jul 13, 2015 at 5:30pm
  • Location: Drom NYC & the Metropolitan Room
  • Description:

    Come to our new cabaret show telling Piaf’s story through song, circus and burlesque!

    On JUNE 9TH at 8pm (doors at 7pm) and JULY 13TH at 9.30pm (doors at 9pm), I will happily guide you through the decadent world of Edith Piaf using her timeless songs to retell the life of this iconic performer who’ve inspired me so much in becoming an artist. Accompanied by a traditional musette band and multi-disciplinary backup singers, I will recreate the brothels, circuses and nightclubs that created the great Piaf we all know. The performance will last 60-70 minutes.

    2015 marks Edith Piaf’s centennial. ‘La Môme Piaf’, as she was nicknamed, introduced America to the world of ‘Chanson Réaliste’. Her songbook has become classic and still engages audiences worldwide. However, her early life is shrouded in mystery – daughter of a circus performer, childhood in a brothel, blind for years and ‘miraculously’ cured by a pilgrimage St. Therese – these stories and more are brought to life with music, dance
