COLETTE 9
colette’s new compilation has arrived (eshop). Our team of experts, Michel Gaubert and Marie Branellec take us in a disco dreamlike trip, between disco of Hercules and Love Affair, remastering of refrigerating and aphrodisiac italo disco by today’s sensational Chromatics and Glass Candy, bewitched and discoïde theme by Body Double (Brian de Palma), a symphony by Pulp, Wooden Shjips’ psychedelic rock, space Pianos by Ferrante and Teicher, the Camden castle of Brute Chorus, or Rufus Wainwright’s folk, totally mesmerised by electro magicians Supermayer.
Producer Midnight Mike, whose talent has been revealed through his work with Japanese Zongamin, catches more and more the attention of electro addicts. He now takes a new name, aka Mickey Moonlight to give us a unseen mix, similar to an initiatory soundtrack with a primitive and yet futuristic approach to it. From Baxter to Goldfrapp, Sun Ra to Brian Eno, an experience playing with boundaries and genres.

Dearest Constellation, Sweetest Invitation
Swiss artist Comenius Roethlisberger is frequently said to be provocative through his pieces, doing some extreme choices. His “Dearest constellation, sweetest invitation” installation plays with famous logos of big luxury brands written with a mix of sugar powder and cocaine, all presented in clear polyester resine boxes. Insolence, fantasy, cynicism, his work incriminates imaging, and fashion or advertising shots, letting no one unconcerned. On the first floor starting February 25th.
