“The artist with the severed phalanx” in the presence of director Virgile Novarina

Movie theater. November 1969. Sigma week, an interdisciplinary festival in Bordeaux, opens for its fifth edition with a happening by Pierre Pinoncelli in front of the Galerie des Beaux-Arts, entitled Mort au pain. A pyre made of baguettes is set on fire in front of the crowd, before the artist, painted from head to toe, takes out armfuls of multicolored “painted loaves” from a trunk which are distributed in jubilation. During the same edition, a mummy with bloody bandages wanders the streets of the city, collapsing on the pavement, getting up again, before being taken away by the constabulary. This protest action by Pinoncelli, which has become emblematic, denounced international indifference towards the war which was then ravaging Biafra.

From 8 p.m. to 9:25 p.m. Utopia Cinema, 5 Av. du Dr Pezet, Montpellier. Single price €6.50.

The “chic and flesh” exhibition

Exposure. Hook, 40 years of licentious works. World jazz flute champion, self-proclaimed director of the European high commission Au Bon Goût Chic, fan of “nothing to do”, he has nevertheless created, sitting or lying down, a few works, diversion collages, mood drawings and writings remarkable. In the stupid and wicked spirit dear to Siné and so many others, he is part of this current that dares to say and show everything, even the unshowable.

From 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Galerie du Père Bonnet, 6 Rue du Père Bonnet, Montpellier.
