Blankass
Live> Pop / Rock - 21 rue Yves Toudic, 75010, Paris - 25 euros
At the beginning of the 90s, Guillaume and Johan Ledoux created BLANKASS, after having put an end to the Zéro De Conduite adventure, an adventure which had brought them a collection of incredible memories, a bit of technique, and above all, envy. It must be said that sharing the stage with the Clash, Gun-club, or U2 when you are twelve years old, it helps a little to know what you want to do in life! After more than 200 concerts in all kinds of places, in France, Germany, Holland, Algeria or Quebec, the first album, "Blankass", was released in 1996, accompanied by the single "La couleur des blés", a big radio success which will lead to the victories of music and that will make them hit the road for a first tour of 150 dates!

Yang YAN will present his latest creations during this exhibition. Born in 1992 and a graduate of the Sichuan School of Fine Arts, this promising young artist exhibited for the first time on French territory in October 2018. His work is interested in the dialogue between eras and generations. Here, in this new series called “Be serious II”, he is once again interested in the spirit of the times. It is for him the opportunity to confront our current world to that of imperial China, obviously disappeared and fantasized. This staging of a conflict that only art can generate produces a surprising result, a mixture of humor and truth, of tradition and modernity. At the end, only one question - ontological, of course, lingers in the minds of each spectator: Are we getting lost in the ever-accelerating flow of modernity? Or even more: What is the right rhythm for a good life?
