			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">&#8220;[You might say,] &#8220;I don&#8217;t agree. Hip-hop is no more than a good piece of music, and that&#8217;s it.&#8221; You may be absolutely correct on that level. But, there are some of us over here who say that we are philosophers. We are nation builders.We are civilization builders. We&#8217;ve been preaching this nonsense for twenty-three years. It&#8217;s time to shup-up now, and put your money where you mouth is. <em>The Gospel of Hip Hop</em> forms the nation. And, let me tell you, this is a great revolution. It&#8217;s a silent one. It&#8217;s a bloodless one. It&#8217;s going to be the greatest revolution in all of world history, when hip-hop realizes that it is its own thing.[...] This is the first time that innercity youth, Black, have actually made money on their own creativity. This is a testament to the end of slavery. This is a testament to the United States. Even from a linguistic point of view, we&#8217;re making money on our own language for the first time. That word, &#8220;nigga&#8221;—that&#8217;s a very financially rewarding word to hip-hop. For us to stop saying that word cuts into our money.&#8221;</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.lissongallery.com/#" target="_blank">Lisson Gallery</a></span> is pleased to announce their collaboration with Hussein Chalayan to create a new installation to be exhibited during a solo show, 8 September – 2 October 2010. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.paris-la.com/wp-content/uploads//2010/08/toppromo.HC-Sertab.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-7309];player=img; attachment wp-att-7319"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7319" title="toppromo.HC-Sertab" src="http://www.paris-la.com/wp-content/uploads//2010/08/toppromo.HC-Sertab.jpg" alt="toppromo.HC-Sertab" width="530" height="302" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A film still from Hussein Chalayan&#8217;s &#8220;I Am Sad Leyla (Üzgünüm Leyla)&#8221; 2010. <span style="font-size: small;">Courtesy the artist and Lisson Gallery.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Press release:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Chalayan says “My approach has always been interdisciplinary; the new work is an extension of this. There is a certain freedom to working in an art context that has allowed me to further explore the ideas that underpin my work”.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Chalayan has always been led by ideas, from his degree show at Central Saint Martin&#8217;s in 1993 to his catwalk presentation with thematic underpinnings, including his powerful meditation on migration in the show Afterwords in 2000, and his visceral recycling of fashion history in Manifest Destiny in 2003.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Both the new installation and an accompanying film piece centre on ideas which have continually fascinated the designer including cultural identity and performance as an art form. Chalayan&#8217;s pioneering approach and restless creativity means that he frequently transcends the boundaries between disciplines and this project is no different, drawing on themes from the fields of art, anthropology, music and design. In the exhibition Chalayan explores the concept of what constitutes both an art work and a garment while combining his characteristic elements of cultural acuity and performative panache.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.paris-la.com/wp-content/uploads//2010/08/1side.HC-0733p.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-7309];player=img; attachment wp-att-7312"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7312" title="1side.HC-0733p" src="http://www.paris-la.com/wp-content/uploads//2010/08/1side.HC-0733p.jpg" alt="1side.HC-0733p" width="530" height="397" /></a></p>
<div id="credit"><span style="font-size: small;">Sertab Erener performing Chalayan&#8217;s &#8220;I Am Sad Leyla (Üzgünüm Leyla)&#8221; 2010. Courtesy the artist and Lisson Gallery. </span></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The new installation explores music as a cultural form, creating a “disembodied experience” of a performance of a traditional Turkish folk composition by Sertab Erener, one of Turkey’s most successful female singers, accompanied by an Ottoman orchestra. The installation is made up of a nuanced combination of audio, film, sculpture and musical notation. Here Hussein examines the experience of music as layered, exploring both the sounds created by different instruments, and the diverse cultural influences on the composition, which include Persian poetry and Greek orthodox chanting.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Hussein Chalayan is one of Britain&#8217;s best known and most respected designers, and was the recipient of the Designer of the Year awards in 1999 and 2000. Chalayan represented Turkey in the Venice Biennale in 2005 and presented a critically acclaimed survey at London’s Design Museum in spring 2009, which later toured to the Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo and is currently on view at Istanbul Modern.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The project has emerged from a longstanding dialogue between the designer and Lisson Gallery&#8217;s Curatorial Director Greg Hilty who says: &#8220;Hussein Chalayan is rightly celebrated not just for his fashion but as one of London&#8217;s leading innovators in visual culture. His sensitive play with the history and poetic potential of wide-ranging cultural forms make him a natural fit for Lisson&#8217;s programme of exhibitions.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>

Bojangles of Harlem from Swing Time (1936)


Swing Time is considered to be Astaire and Rogers&#8217; best dance musical, featuring four dance routines that are each regarded as masterpieces of their kind. &#8220;Bojangles of Harlem&#8221; features a two-minute solo of Astaire dancing with his shadows which took three days to shoot.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Quelle étrange idée que de faire des plans pour le Grand Paris ! Le Grand Paris existe déjà, il est là sous nos yeux. Sa population s’élève à environ dix millions d’habitants, deux dedans et huit dehors. Ceux qui vivent dedans sont blancs pour la plupart, sauf dans les trois derniers arrondissements à deux chiffres, ceux du nord-est où l’on trouve à la fois des Blancs, des Arabes, des Noirs et des Chinois. Mis à part ces quartiers-là, la population qui vit au dedans a les moyens de le faire, c’est-à-dire de payer des loyers à quatre chiffres. Les boutiques y sont chères et de bon goût, les restaurants pleins et les touristes enchantés. La police est discrète et courtoise, la justice compréhensive, et l’on trouve là tout ce que le pays compte de mieux en matière de journalistes, d’artistes et de sociologues quand ils ne sont pas sur le terrain. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Ce terrain est souvent constitué par ceux du dehors. Ils sont séparés du dedans par une barrière dont les points de repère sont des<em> portes</em>. On reconnaît facilement ces portes car il en part des autobus qui ont deux chiffres vers le dedans et trois vers le dehors. Ceux-ci sont d’ailleurs de modèle plus ancien et ils ne roulent pas la nuit. Les gens du dehors travaillent souvent dedans, comme caissières, vigiles, ou préposés à des tâches comme le nettoiement, les chantiers et les livraisons. Pour passer de leur logement dehors – dans des quartiers qu’on appelle souvent « sensibles » sans qu’il soit jamais précisé en quoi consiste cette sensibilité – à leur travail dedans, ils transitent volontiers par la station Châtelet du RER, dont le centre est si animé qu’on lui a donné le nom de flipper. Ceux qui n’ont pas de travail (et ils sont nombreux, surtout parmi les Arabes et les Noirs qui comptent pour beaucoup dans la population du dehors) ont l’avantage d’éviter le flipper. Ils peuvent, comme les autres du reste, profiter de la présence de la police qui patrouille en armes et en rangs dans les quartiers ayant fait preuve à l’occasion d’une excessive sensibilité. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Certains pensent que la séparation dedans-dehors constitue un apartheid. Quoi qu’il en soit, on voit mal comment les grands gestes des architectes et urbanistes officiels pourront casser la barrière physique et politique qui coupe le dedans du dehors et faire du Grand Paris une ville <em>pour tous ses habitants</em>.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Quelle autre étrange idée que de demander que l’on négocie – que l’on retourne à la « table des négociations » – pour trouver une <em>solution</em> à ce qu’on persiste à appeler le « conflit » israélo-palestinien. Pourtant déjà là, sous nos yeux, depuis quarante-trois ans, entre le Jourdain et la mer il existe un État unique, avec un gouvernement, une administration, une armée, et une population qui, comme celle du Grand Paris, se monte à une dizaine de millions d’êtres humains. Si les choses ne vont pas bien dans cet État unique, c’est que cette population est divisée en deux groupes dont l’un a tous les droits et l’autre n’en a aucun. Ceux qui ont tous les droits habitent surtout l’ouest du pays, dans ce qui était l’État d’Israël avant la guerre de 1967. Mais ils sont aussi de plus en plus nombreux dans l’est, comme colons ou comme soldats, au-delà du mur de séparation qu’ils ont édifié pour se protéger des entreprises de ceux qui n’ont aucun droit. Pour eux, les juifs israéliens, la vie est tranquille et l’on s’accorde à dire que Tel Aviv est l’une des villes du monde où les fêtes sont les plus brillantes, les artistes les plus créatifs et la presse la plus libre.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Parmi ceux qui n’ont aucun droit – les Palestiniens – il y a ceux à qui la notion même de droit est refusée, les habitants de la bande de Gaza, soit plus d’un million d’êtres humains dans un rectangle de 30 km sur 10, entouré de barbelés sur trois côtés avec la mer pour quatrième. La plupart des autres Palestiniens vivent à l’est du mur de séparation. Ils ne peuvent ni se déplacer librement, ni aller vivre ailleurs, ni se marier avec n’importe qui, ni acheter des terres. Ils ont sur le dos l’Autorité palestinienne, organisation de supplétifs soutenue par ceux qui ont tous les droits, qui a pour mission de prévenir et réprimer tout mouvement sérieux de mécontentement.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Certains considèrent que la séparation entre ces deux groupes humains constitue un apartheid, mais des juristes sud-africains en visite ont expliqué que le terme ne convenait pas, car jamais le pouvoir blanc d’Afrique du Sud n’avait envoyé des avions pour bombarder Soweto. En tous cas, on ne voit pas comment la ronde des envoyés spéciaux américains pourrait permettre de transformer cet État unique en <em>État de tous ses citoyens</em>, libres et égaux en droits.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">À Paris comme en Palestine, ce qui prévaut, c’est un déni de réalité. Ceux qui sont aux bonnes places cherchent à maintenir le statu quo. Pour prouver le contraire – leur volonté que les choses changent – ils se servent d’architectes ici et de diplomates là-bas. Mais ils devraient se souvenir que la réalité déniée finit toujours par se venger et que, comme disait Talleyrand, « on peut tout faire avec des baïonnettes, sauf s’asseoir dessus ».</span></p>
