N° 5 CULTURE CHANEL : The 3 x 5 Time Code
The N° 5 CULTURE CHANEL exhibition, curated by Jean-Louis Froment, comes back to its origins, in Paris at Palais de Tokyo. The exhibition was previously held in Moscow’s Pushkin State Museum for Fine Arts, in Beijing at the National Art Museum of China and more recently in the Opera House in Canton, south side of China.
This year, the exhibition will be held from the 5th of May until the 5th of June, to emphasize for the 3rd time the iconic number N°5. Its intension is to be a repertoire of the works of art, photographs, archives and art objects that inspired Mademoiselle Chanel in creating this unique fragrance, a “perfume with the scent of a woman”.
On this occasion the public can understand more of the context of the era when the original perfume was created in 1921, a period marked by the avant garde spirits of Cocteau, Picasso, Apollinaire, Stravinsky, Dali and Diaghilev. By making correspondences, references between the perfume and the creations of its time, this exhibition tries to break down the code surrendering this mysterious perfume, that can’t be defined.
This is something TLmag looks forward too!
