Jessica Fichot @ Tangier
 "L.A.
based chanteuse, songwriter and accordionist Jessica Fichot is a lot like
her hometown of Paris: French at heart, but with a soul that's truly international.
Drawing from her multi-ethnic French / Chinese / American upbringing,
her music fuses styles and languages, taking the listener on a journey
out of the French chanson tradition, into the lands of gypsy jazz, Chinese
and Latin American folk music, and into the wilderness of her imagination."

SEPCTACLE
• Charlotte
de Turckheim : one-woman show «Ça va nettement mieux !»
 L’actrice
et comédienne française, Charlotte de Turckheim présente
son dernier one-woman show «Ça va nettement mieux !».
Elle a la quarantaine et tout l'exaspère. Ses deux ados : Joséphine
et Pierre qui sont immanquablement en crise, son trio de copines, où
Clarisse, la gaucho de luxe, lui donne des leçons de politique
Afghane, Babette, la reine du bonheur tranquille, a un peu vite oublié
son passé sulfureux de "cagole" marseillaise, et Annabelle,
l'imbécile heureuse, lui fait douter de sa vie et de ses choix...
Sans oublier Zoran son prof de gym des Balkans, un tortionnaire qui combat
la cellulite comme s'il appartenait à une unité spéciale
de combat. Et pour finir : son psy autiste qui l'oblige à se livrer
à de délirantes séances de psychothérapie
de groupe avec le public.
Charlotte de Turckheim surfe donc sur la vague des "Desperate Housewives"
à la française pour une remise en question aussi drôle
que brutale.

Launch of MICHEL GONDRY'S new books:

and:'We Won the War but Not the Battle'
French director Gondry will be signing
books and chatting.
After the signing the audience will be treated to a very special live
performance by J-Lep!
About the book: 'You'll Like this Film
Because You're in it'
Michel Gondry’s debut book is a functional memoir of his quest to
put the tools of filmmaking in the hands of as many people as possible.
At New York’s Deitch Projects, in February and March of 2008, Gondry
emulated the heroic example of his characters, constructing a do-it-yourself
film studio in which any visitor could assemble their own film from extant
plot summaries and rent the results. His aim: “I intend to prove
that people can enjoy their time without being part of the commercial
system and serving it…Ultimately, I am hoping to create a network
of creativity and communication that is guaranteed to be free and independent
from any commercial institution.” This book chronicles Gondry’s
journey towards what he calls “The Be Kind Rewind Protocol”,
and serves as an inspirational guide to creativity and the art of having
fun.

Bernard
Frize
French artist Bernard Frize has worked with systems and rules; an extreme
conceptual and technical rigour in his practice since the late 70’s.
Heavily influenced by Marxism and a practice dominated by a “conceptualism
and the demythologizing of the work of art”, Frize’s practice
is interested in the realities of picture making and notions of work,
time and tools.
“You should be able to read each decision of the painter from the
painting. A painting should make you able to figure out how it has been
made, as though you could have painted it yourself. What I value in good
paintings is that they look so simple.”
In the Conducteur series, some of which are featured in this exhibition,
the single gesture of applying paint to a surface, long fundamental to
the practice of painting, is broken down in the system of rules set up
to create the series. Attention is brought to the elements of painting.
The brushstoke and application of color are distinguished by being held
apart, then brought together “in a synthesis that reveals earlier
analysis even while annihilating it”.
These pictures in essence present images of their own construction.
In his practice, a painting becomes an image of the depths, both perspectival
and metaphorical, a worked flat surface can reveal. In this way it evokes
the cooperation of the maker’s activity and the viewer’s, because
it is the work of looking that transforms the visible
into the meaningful.
With Mr. Frize’s works, while the three-dimensionality of the image
is
illusory, the sensation of depth is real, a result of the way hand, materials,
mind, and eye can work together.

Comment je me suis disputé...
("ma vie sexuelle") (My Sex Life…or How I Got Into an Argument)
Full of Life: Arnaud Desplechin
1996/color/178 min. | Scr: Arnaud Desplechin, Emmanuel Bourdieu; dir:
Arnaud Desplechin; w/ Mathieu Amalric, Emmanuelle Devos, Chiara Mastroianni.
A prequel of sorts to Rois & Reine (Kings and
Queen), Amalric (garnering his first Cesar) is a part-time philosophy
lecturer laboring over a 400 page doctoral thesis while trying to break
off his ten-year relationship with Devos. The film's round-robin bedswapping
and hyper-articulate ensemble recalls Rohmer, but Desplechin's indefatigable
exuberance is singular.
