INAUGURATED IN 1927 AND NAMED AFTER THE PIANO MANUFACTURER PLEYEL, LA SALLE PLEYEL WAS BUILT TO REPLACE THE NUMEROUS HALLS UNDER THE SAME NAME THAT WERE CONSTRUCTED IN THE PREVIOUS CENTURY. WITH ITS ART DECO ARCHITECTURE, UP UNTIL 2015 THE CONCERT HALL WAS RESERVED EXCLUSIVELY FOR SYMPHONY CONCERTS, FOR WHICH THE SPACE WAS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED, ALLOWING FOR THE BEST ACOUSTIC SOUND CONSIDERED TO BE REVOLUTIONARY OF ITS TIME. THE CELINE MUSIC BOX SERVED AS SCENERY FOR THE SALLE PLEYEL’S ORIGINAL ROTUNDA.​ LE MUSÉE BOURDELLE’S SALLE DES PLÂTRES – BUILT IN 1961 BY THE ARCHITECT HENRI GAUTRUCHE TO MARK THE HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY OF BOURDELLE’S BIRTH, THE GREAT HALL IS LARGE ENOUGH TO HOUSE HIS MONUMENTAL PLASTER CASTS. THE WHITENESS AND CLARITY OF THIS “MODERN TEMPLE” HIGHLIGHT ONE OF THE MASTER’S SOURCES, NAMELY ANCIENT GREECE, ITS HEROES, AND ITS GODS, SCULPTED WITH ALL THE POWER OF HIS INSPIRATION: TÊTE D’APOLLON (HEAD OF APOLLO) (1898-1909), HÉRAKLÈS ARCHER (HERCULES THE ARCHER) (1910), PÉNÉLOPE (PENELOPE) (1905-1912), CENTAURE MOURANT (DYING CENTAUR) (1911-1914) AND SAPHO (SAPPHO) (1889-1925). UNLIKE THE BRONZE CASTS, WHICH ARE DISPLAYED AS FINISHED WORKS, THE PLASTER CASTS REVEAL A LITTLE OF THE SCULPTOR’S CREATIVE PROCESS, WITH THEIR MARKS AND INTERLOCKING PARTS.​ LA MAISON DE LA CHIMIE, WHERE HEDI SLIMANE SHOWED HIS FIRST SHOW IN 1997 FOR YVES SAINT LAURENT, IS A SYNTHESIS OF 18TH CENTURY FRENCH ARCHITECTURE AND ART DECO STYLES.​ ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK FOR CELINE​ “L’HIVER” WRITTEN, ARRANGED AND PERFORMED BY MÉLANIE CHÉDEVILLE, PRODUCED BY RICO THE WIZARD AND MÉLANIE CHÉDEVILLE​ COMMISSIONED AND CO-PRODUCED BY HEDI SLIMANE​ #CELINEARCDETRIOMPHE​ #CELINEBYHEDISLIMANE
