took a day trip to paris today to see some family members .. tried to go and see the keith haring exhibition at the musée en herbe (musée pour enfants à paris!) but could not find it anywhere! even with the street address people could not tell me where it was.. so as we were in the area of (centre) pompidou we decided to go there. im not sure whether it was because it was a late night opening that night, but there was a queue to get inside the pompidou, and then a 45 minute queue to get into the edvard munch exhibition- let alone the time it took to queue up for tickets to the other exhibitions... pressed for time i just went to the basement floor to see the free exhibition, "vidéodanse". the exhibition was spread over 6 weeks and presented a history of 20th and 21st century dance through 250 films showcasing the talents of 150 choreographers. there were specific slot times where performers would dance, but these were all at 11.30 in the morning, and as i was there at 5pm it was looking a little bare... one piece that stood out to me was the interactive installation called if/then. it invited the spectator to imitate the movements filmed on a screen. your movements were then captured and analysed in real time and then is recorded into the data base for everyone to see!
