CLINT PARIS

Food > Brunch – 8-16 euros

It is in the heart of the 12th arrondissement of the capital, a stone’s throw from the Quai de la Rapée, that Clint, the cozy spot spotted a few days earlier on Instagram, has settled. Needless to say, the tantalizing clichés that dot their social network played a decisive role in the choice of address. Just like the modern and refined atmosphere, but no less warm that emanates from the place. The secret: nothing flashy if not an immaculate decoration that immediately stands out against the stone of the Haussmann buildings that surround it. It is at the foot of the latter that a queue is created to get a table since, like many Parisian establishments, Clint does not offer reservations and only the most patient will be able to enjoy a meal. delicious brunch. Could this be the pledge of an address whose success is no longer to be proven? It would seem so.

Détour – Visual System

Culture> Expo – Free

La Gaîté Lyrique inaugurates a completely reconfigured space: the exhibition area on the first floor is transformed into an astonishing light and sound forest with an air of optical illusion. First guest of the program, the multidisciplinary collective Visual System imagines a three-dimensional, evolving and colorful sculpture, forming an atmosphere both sound and visual inviting to wander and contemplation … as well as its associated program! The French collective Visual System transports us to the heart of a forest with geometric abstraction, regenerating new perceptions. From its slender and split totem-trunks spring soft electroluminescent sources, wavy colored beams and a large orchestra of sounds obeying together secret harmonic consonances. In Détour, the visitor, completely free to move around, discovers sixteen totems 2.50 meters high, streaked with LEDs. Inspired by abstract pictorial sculptures, these luminous monoliths are erected within a space plunged in darkness. They come to life and respond to the rhythm of a sound creation that guides us through the meanders of a new ecosystem, opening up a dialogue between man, nature and machine. Sounds and lights awaken in tandem. As the crossing progresses, sound perception intensifies. The light is soft and indirect. The music, created by composers Thomas Vaquié & Alexandre Bouvier, is enveloping. Detour invites you to get lost in a morphing of sound and visual landscapes, in a dreamlike forest regenerating new perceptions, sheltering new worlds.

Beyond reality

Culture> Museum – 3-8 euros

The main exhibition of the Némo Biennale tests the capacity of the arts and technologies to reveal what is invisible, imperceptible or unspeakable to us. Many contemporary artists work on astrophysical, magnetic, chemical, nuclear, but also societal, economic, sociological phenomena. By materializing the imperceptible, they produce new maps of the “real”. In the hollow of the invisible, the unheard-of new aesthetic forms spring up, but also a different perception of the world around us. In seven thematic areas with well-defined names, around thirty artists exhibit digital works of art that reveal the invisible. The Halle Aubervilliers, in free access, forges links to all areas, itself called “How many angels can dance on a pinhead?”. In this exhibition, as in the Némo Biennale in general, “everything is true” of course… But as usual, we allowed ourselves to introduce some small variations in reality and our universe, or in realities and universes .

THE UNREAL STORY OF LOU REED by Fred Nevché and French 79

Live > Jazz / Blues – 24 euros

How to account for the individual and collective influence of Lou Reed, member of the indefatigable Velvet Underground before going solo, and whose name is now registered in the pantheon of rock & roll? It is with this difficult bet that the poet, singer and composer Fred Nevché tackled, who made a specialty of initiating reflection on the icons of pop culture like Marilyn Monroe, Kurt Cobain (leader of the group grunge Nirvana) or Jacques Prévert. For this “unreal story of Lou Reed”, which mixes poetry, music and images, Fred Nevché immediately announces the goal of his performance: “Not to try to unravel the mystery of Lou Reed. Let the icon in its place, with its complexities, take the hand that it has been kind enough to extend to us, to go on the path of life, to meet the world and ourselves. “To carry out this large-scale project, Fred Nevché has set himself three axes: replace the guitars of Lou Reed’s discography by synthetic layers and electronic rhythms (composed by the producer French 79 aka Simon Henner), order to contemporary authors (Blandine Rinkel – also singer in the group Catastrophe, the writer and director Christophe Fiat, the novelists Capucine and Simon Johannin, the playwright Ronan Chéneau) intimate texts shedding light on their relationship to Lou Reed and make heard the voice in interview of the icon as well as his face in video. History, as confirmed by this strange conductor, not to play the biographers but rather to reflect on the subversive scope of the texts and the work of this genius of the twentieth century that was Lou Reed.
