L'Homme a La Tete de Chou



Just a quick one before I go and take my plane to Singapore. Yesterday we went to see the Gainsbourg exhibition at Cité De La Musique (in La Villette). Quite an enjoyable way to waste a couple of hours browsing around the various photos and videos on display and a lot of reading material. It surely is not easy to organise an exhibition on musicians or film Directors. The most amazing I was given to see so far was the Almodóvar exhibition at Musée du Cinéma. I found this Gainsbourg exhibition to be lacking something on the extravagance, independence, exuberance of the character but it still made for an informative visit. I was particularly moved to see the famous original sculpture of l'homme a la tete de chou.
