L’OLYMPIA IS THE OLDEST MUSIC HALL IN THE FRENCH CAPITAL. THE HALL FIRST OPENED IN 1893 AS A SPACE FOR COUNTLESS OPERA, BALLET AND MUSIC PERFORMANCES.
L’OLYMPIA HOSTED A GRAND VENUE RE-OPENING IN 1954, WITH FRENCH PRODUCER BRUNO COQUATRIX AS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. THE SPACE BECAME AN IMPORTANT STAGE FOR VENERATED ARTISTS.

BANKS VIOLETTE

HEDI SLIMANE MET AMERICAN ARTIST BANKS VIOLETTE IN NEW YORK CITY IN 2005. BANKS HAS BEEN PHOTOGRAPHED FOR MANY DIFFERENT EXHIBITION PROJECTS, INCLUDING HEDI SLIMANE’S SHOW AT THE FOAM MUSEUM, DURING THE SUMMER 2007. BANKS VIOLETTE´S WORK IS QUINTESSENTIAL OF THE EARLY 2000’S AND CONTINUES TO BE A STRONG INSPIRATION FOR THE CURRENT ART SCENE.
