Brigitte Bardot//Original Sex Kitten


"They may call me a sinner, but I am at peace with myself."

"I was just a cheap little starlet hardly acting at all in a very mediocre film."

"When you're thirty you're old enough to know better, but still young enough to go ahead and do it."

“A photograph can be an instant of life captured for eternity that will never cease looking back at you.”

"what does it mean, being a woman..."

"I`m a girl from a good family who was very well brought up. One day I turned my back on it all and became a bohemian."

“I have been very happy, very rich, very beautiful much adulated, very famous and very unhappy”

"Every age can be enchanting, provided you live within it."

"I have always adored beautiful young men. Just because I grow older, my taste doesn`t change. So if I can still have them, why not?"

Céleste Boursier-Mougenot//Sound Artist


Two sound installations untitled (series #3) and index (v.4) by French artist Céleste Boursier-Mougenot create a special sonic atmosphere in EMPAC’s lobby spaces. The first involves floating bowls and glasses in several pools of moving water. As these objects touch, the space is filled with their fleeting, floating music. The other sounds moving through the lobby come from two computer-played pianos. The music is an articulation of EMPAC staff's typing activity. Software written by the artist maps linguistic properties to musical properties, translating letters, phrases, and punctuation into aspects of musical language like pitch, dynamics, repetitions, and chords.

Céleste Boursier-Mougenot//Barbican Centre, London



Trained as a musician and composer, French artist Céleste Boursier-Mougenot creates works by drawing on the rhythms of daily life to produce sound in unexpected ways. His installation for The Curve will take the form of a walk-though aviary for a flock of zebra finches, furnished with electric guitars and other instruments and objects. As the birds go about their routine activities, perching on or feeding from the various pieces of equipment, they create a captivating, live soundscape. more about the venue, here...

ReneGruau//LovesWomen































































With great humour, he defines Glamour and Sensuality by revealing the female universe-made of luxury, frivolity, futility and narcissism-as the most natural thing in the world... more about the illustrator, here...
