"RIZE" by David Lachapelle

"RIZE" highlights an urban phenomenon in the city of Los Angeles: the krump. This visually stunning dance, an alternative to hip-hop dance, has its roots in African tribal dances and is characterized by steps and movements of unmatched speed and difficulty.

This documentary illustrates the ritual practices of the religious sect of the haoukas, practiced by poor immigrants from Accra (Ghana).

For Jean Rouch, "this violent game is only the reflection of our civilization".

Primitive Picasso Exhibition

Exhibition until Sunday 23/07/17
Curator: Yves Le Fur, Director of Heritage and Collections at the musée du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac.

Spring 2017 event exhibition in collaboration with the Musée national Picasso - Paris, the PICASSO PRIMITIF exhibition offers a completely new look at the close relationship between Picasso and the arts of Africa, Oceania, the Americas and Asia. . Conceived by Yves Le Fur - director of the Heritage and Collections department of the Quai Branly museum - Jacques Chirac, and specialist in primitive arts -, the exhibition offers a resolutely new light on Picasso's work, not by seeking evidence of inspiration, as has sometimes been the case in the past, but by relying on the artist's creative environment, then by comparing his works with those of the first art creators.

Thus, in an immersive way, a first contextualization retraces, in the manner of a chronological survey, all the stages through which Picasso maintained relations with non-Western arts, well beyond the period of creation of the Demoiselles d'Avignon. in 1906 - 1907, but also, as his collection shows, throughout his life. Documents, letters, objects, photographs outline in a rigorous chronology what the artist has been able to admire, the circles of dealers and collectors that he has worked with, the exhibitions visited and those for which he has lent his own collection of works. non-Western.

In the image of a body to body, the exhibition then brings into dialogue the extraordinary richness of Picasso's works with those, no less rich, of non-Western artists. This second approach, which occupies most of the exhibition spatially, is based more on an anthropology of art than on the observation of aesthetic relationships. It presents in three parts - Archetypes, Metamorphoses and It - the universes to which Pablo Picasso responded with plastic responses converging with those of the artists of early art.
