“THE SHOW THAT NEVER WAS”
AFTER THE CANCELLATION OF THE MEN’S SUMMER 24 SHOW AT LA GAÎTÉ LYRIQUE IN PARIS IN JULY 2023, HEDI SLIMANE SHOT A FILM THE SAME MONTH BETWEEN PARIS AND MONACO. SCENES WERE FILMED AT THE MONTE-CARLO OPERA GARNIER FEATURING CLASSICAL BALLET DANCER LAURIDS SEIDEL.
ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK FOR CELINE
EXTENDED VERSION OF “LOSING MY EDGE” PERFORMED BY LCD SOUNDSYSTEM
PRODUCED BY JAMES MURPHY ENGINEERED BY KOREY RICHEY
COMMISSIONED BY HEDI SLIMANE
IN CONTINUITY WITH THE SOUNDTRACK OF THE CELINE WOMEN SUMMER 24 LA COLLECTION DE LA BIBLIOTHÈQUE NATIONALE, HEDI SLIMANE ONCE AGAIN DELVES INTO LCD SOUNDSYSTEM’S EPONYMOUS 2005 DEBUT ALBUM: ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL SOUNDS IN INDIE ELECTRONIC MUSIC AND CLUB SCENES.
IN THE EARLY 2000’S HEDI SLIMANE STARTED TO DOCUMENT A NEW EMERGING ART SCENE IN NEW YORK THAT INCLUDED DAN COLEN, TERENCE KOH, NATE LOWMAN AND DASH SNOW TO NAME A FEW.
IN JULY OF 2007 SLIMANE CURATED A GROUPSHOW TITLED “SWEET BIRD OF YOUTH”, AT ARNDT & PARTNER IN BERLIN, FEATURING THE WORKS OF PROMINENT DOWNTOWN NEW YORK ARTISTS DASH SNOW, SLATER BRADLEY, MATHEW CERLETTY, DAN COLEN, GARDAR EIDE EINARSSON, TERENCE KOH, DOUGLAS KOLK, NATE LOWMAN, RYAN MCGINLEY, MATT SAUNDERS, STEVEN SHEARER, PAUL P. AND BANKS VIOLETTE.
LATER ON THAT SAME YEAR, WITH HIS EXHIBITION “YOUNG AMERICAN” AT THE FOAM FOTOGRAFIEMUSEUM IN AMSTERDAM, THROUGH A SERIES OF BLACK AND WHITE PORTRAITS, SLIMANE PAID TRIBUTE TO THE SAME GENERATION OF ARTISTS.
RECALLING HIS STRONG LINKS WITH THE NEW YORK ART SCENE, HEDI SLIMANE CHOSE ARTWORKS FROM DASH SNOW’S ARCHIVE TO INCLUDE IN HIS DELUSIONAL DAYDREAM COLLECTION.
THE NEW YORK BEAT OF LCD SOUNDSYSTEM AND ITS CULT SEMINAL 2005 EPONYMOUS ALBUM “LCD SOUNDSYSTEM” ARE REVISITED TODAY BY A YOUNG AND VIBRANT, NEW YORK MUSIC SCENE, TO WHOM THIS SHOW IS DEDICATED.
HEDI SLIMANE STARTED PHOTOGRAPHING THIS REVIVED NYC GENERATION AT THE END OF LOCKDOWN, NOTABLY THROUGH A SERIES OF PORTRAITS OF ALTERNATIVE MUSICIANS, ARTISTS, AND CLUBBERS.
