This June, the Bourse de Commerce — Pinault Collection presents a series of concerts, contrasting several artistic generations. Linked to David Hammons’s work, exhibited in Gallery 2, the museum’s cultural programme will pay homage to the artist’s relationship with free jazz, inaugurating a programme steeped in the social history of African American music from the 1970s to the present. In this context, the New York label Blank Forms invites the American jazz musician and percussionist Famoudou Don Moye, a longstanding member of the Art Ensemble of Chicago, for an inaugural concert on the Auditorium stage.
