Music is often what remains after the party, the last echo of a carefree moment before silence. Fin de party focuses on this fragile transition, from the chaos of sound to the return to reality, between the euphoria that subsides and the lull that appears. The exhibition explores music as a trace, a persistent rustle, a breath that struggles to be extinguished. It is no longer a question of music as a simple game, but as a territory where the remnants of a collective pleasure mingle with the shadow of an inescapable end. Far from academic rigour or the myth of virtuosity, music is revealed here in its most instinctive dimension, on the edge between jubilation and disillusionment. Camille Blatrix's musical stage, in the form of Petit Lu, is an invitation to free and uninhibited practice. There are still sounds to be heard: Ziad Antar's children rehearse a funny "Wa", Meriem Antar's anthropomorphic Meriem Bennani's anthropomorphic architectures begin to sing, Charlemagne Palestine's stuffed animals pile up in a joyous shambles, and Pipilotti Rist massacres Chris Isaak's Wicked Games in a gesture as liberating as it is iconoclastic. Then the music gradually fades out. Davide Balula places a solitary turntable, the last vestige of a party that is already over, above which a balloon floats, suspended like a last echo of the tumult. echo of the tumult. We cling to our memories, scan the videos from the night before on YouTube, leave a melancholy comment with Kamilya Kuspanova, and go to bed. The party's over, but its echoes live on.
