Le Centre Pompidou appealed to Dalbin (about whom we have already spoken in October 2004, see the link) to represent the relation of the design and the music in their exhibition on the contemporary design. Leaning on devices conceived for the emonstration and choice of existing projects, the exhibition proposes a reflection on the values of the design. The exhibition organizes a narrative and sensory route where are interrogated the current field of the design, the relation and experiment in the contact of the object, the lines of flight of the imagination and the power of seduction of the object, as well as the recent numeric(digital) developments of the graphics.

Dalbin present "five elements": five works of visual music consisted by five groups of international artists. These original creations will be diffused on five screens synchronized.

This image is a part of an installation understanding five works of "visual music" around five elements. Uleshka Asher worked at first in London in Web design and the animation. Ryotaro Bordini Chikushi alias Ill Pitecantropo Erreto is the author of exhibitions of conceptual art. It is in Tokyo, in 2001, that both artists join under the name of "Jin", the Chinese ideogram to define a person, an individuality and a personality.

The brand new gallery La B.A.N.K for contemporary art opens its space with a group-show composed by 9 French and international artists. The exhibition "Dreams are my reality" deals with the perception of the reality, the dimension of the reverie in the representation and gives a large share to hyperrealistic works.

The German painter, Franck Bauer, shows a Sasha too beautiful to be true and a world where even a burial looks like a splendid summer day.

The Canadian Kate Waters captures the light in each and every detail of her photographic paintings.

New York, the very symbol of the American dream, is imagined by the Japanese Masaaki Sato in the form of spectacular newsstands, overloaded with information, whereas for Curt Hoppe it's the memory of anonymous, fleeting and alluring passerby.

The tacky and mystic icons of Lili Fantozzi and the head-in-the-clouds installation of Sylvain Ciavaldini offer a moment of contemplation, between Sky and Earth, and point out the deluding needs for landmarks (religious or geographic), sometimes searched in vain.

In her paintings of watercolor appearance, Katia Bourdarel revives the tales of childhood, Peau d'âne, the Little Red Hood, a universe that vacillates between the enchanting of imagination and the fear of being devoured.

In her embroideries, Corinne Marchetti fantasizes, with humor, and pictures herself living with Matthew Barney or being kidnapped by Paul McCarthy.

Last but not least, the Austrian director Virgil Widrich gathers a Hollywood dream team for his short cut Fast film, an incredible race stunning with technical and artistic feat.
