Inside the installation Entre temps by Alain Bublex.

Born in Switzerland in 1964, Francis Baudevin has developed an original pictorial body of work by re-appropriating features of commercial graphic art in pictures and wall paintings done on a large scale. As a record collector, Francis Baudevin is also a sophisticated connoisseur of all the experimental musical movements occurring in the latter half of the 20th century, from minimalism to rock by way of the experimental New York scene. It is thus as an enlightened music lover, and not as a painter, that le Printemps de septembre has decided to engage him for this Nomad Night. During an “interactive” listening session—its playlist will be published on the festival's opening day-- Francis Baudevin will share some of his musical passions with the public.
