Newwwsswirll — Charlemagne Palestine

A composer, musician, shaman, visual artist and performer, Charlemagne Palestine is both an iconic figure of the New York underground scene and an artist whose contemporary practice is always at the avant-garde. Long considered a pioneer of minimalist music, a movement with which he never really identified, he prefers to describe his practice as ‘maximalist’ or ‘spontanimalist’. Based in Brussels for the past 20 years, where an exhibition of his work will be organized at BOZAR from mid May, Palestine will present an exceptional musical performance at Kanal – Centre Pompidou that will take the form of a surprise concert.
