NOTEBOOKS & POLAROIDS<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Galerie de la Cl\u00e9 is pleased to welcome \u2018Blufunk is a Fact\u2019 Keziah Jones for an exploration of the private notebooks from his album \u2018Black Orpheus\u2019. <\/p>\n\n

Keziah Jones opens a door into his creative process. From the Greek myth of Orpheus to Marcel Camus’s film \u2018Orpheo Negro\u2019, Keziah Jones channels the atmosphere of the \u2018Orpheo Negro\u2019 myth, transforming it into \u2018Black Orpheus\u2019 in 2003 to create an incandescent work. It was from the writings sketched in his private journal that he composed his eponymous album.<\/p>\n\n

Galerie de la Cl\u00e9 invites you to discover the man behind the artist and to capture the colors of his music. Beyond his writings and his sketches, Keziah Jones resonates within the eternity of \u2018Blue Funk\u2019.<\/p>\n\n

“I make music out of images. These images, whether visual, sonic, mental or literal, I compile them in notebooks.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

I started keeping notebooks containing my thoughts and ideas since around I was eight-years-old. When I was sent away from Lagos, Nigeria to be “educated” in the UK, I used to have a compulsive need to notate and write everything down in order to have a record or proof of \u201cself” but I am much better now, thanx God !<\/em><\/p>\n\n

This exhibition is a collection of images pulled out of notebooks from the time I was composing and writing my “Black Orpheus” album. It shows the writing process behind the music.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n
