In May, Mark Leckey‘s exhibition gets you dancing! The British artist plunges us into the heart of ecstasy – that state that shakes us up, makes us waver, takes us elsewhere. To discover the exhibition, take advantage of free guided tours to delve into the secrets of the works, and spend some unforgettable family time at our not-to-be-missed Super Kids Party, for the very young (0-2 years) and the young (3-10 years)! Also on the programme: an exceptional 4-handed sonic performance by artist Christelle Oyiri (aka Crystallmess) with Mark Leckey, a preview listening session for the new album by Egyptian composer Abdullah Miniawy, a discussion with historian Clovis Maillet on the links between medieval images and contemporary works, and an exceptional concert by musician and choreographer Bianca Scout. There will also be two evenings of performances dedicated to Canadian dancer and choreographer Emma Portner, and the launch of a new series on architecture and cinema hosted by Isabelle Régnier, with Meriem Chabani and Leïla Kilani as guests. To extend your discovery, be tempted by the delicate and daring dishes of chef Thomas Coupeau, who sublimates seasonal produce: melting morels, crunchy white asparagus, a hay-savagnin sauce with woody accents or a dim-sum version of courgette flower… Finally, La Librairie welcomes a new selection of books where ecstasy comes in all its forms: medieval stories, English romantic poetry, great texts of contemporary British literature, not forgetting a dive into the made in UK music scene.
Mark Leckey
As Above So Below
until 20 July
The British artist Mark Leckey invites visitors into the heart of an exhibition unfolding around the ecstatic—that transportive state beyond the individual self. The gathered works recall unusual experiences and encounters that the artist has had, through which he became disoriented by the intense feelings they aroused.
