JULIE LÉPINARD / CO-FOUNDER 836M

836M presents the dedication ceremony for Jean-Michel Othoniel’s La Rose de Vents sculpture in Golden Gate Park. The sculpture is located in front of the Conservatory of Flowers.
836M co-founder Julie Lépinard and choreographer Dimitri Chamblas join David on today’s show.
Lépinard is the co-founder, together with her husband Sebastien, of 836M, a non-profit arts organization that produces events in the Bay Area and France, and hosts 836M Gallery in San Francisco.
The dedication opens with a live performance designed and choreographed by Chamblas, whose Slow Show has been performed around the world since its premier in 2017. Chamblas brings this site-specific performance to the La Rose des Vents dedication where it will feature an ensemble of 50 local performers responding to the context of the location through movement (with recorded music and sound by DJ/composer Eddie Ruscha).
This just in! French disco pop band L’IMPÉRATRICE has also been added to the dedication program. They will perform a free concert at 6:00PM.
