mycontent[1]='The studio of <a href="http://www.anti-anti.net/bendidier/index.php/" target="_parent">Ben Laloua/Didier Pascal</a> is a home for ideas. These ideas are about relationships, representation, <a href="http://www.anti-anti.net/bendidier/index.php/home/read/?page=uitnodiging_shirin_neshat&img=0">desire</a>, public space and all the sort of issues that raise controversy these days.'
mycontent[2]='Ben Laloua/Didier Pascal welcomes these ideas by integrating them, and forging them into other <a href="http://www.anti-anti.net/bendidier/index.php/projects" target="_parent">designs</a>.'
mycontent[3]='Sometimes, by leaving the door open, it is possible to discard some ideas.'
mycontent[4]='Basically, they are not very much alike. And when they do have something in common, then it is that they are surprising and confusing all at once, providing an experience rather than an answer.'
mycontent[5]='That they are beautifully made with reference to a society that balances spectacle and mediocrity, mixing up lifestyle with values, and in which material comfort keeps pace with an increase in malaise.'
mycontent[6]='The <a href="http://www.anti-anti.net/bendidier/index.php/downloads" target="_parent">magnificence of the world around us</a> is warmly embraced, after all it is an immense space without paradigms, and this is received with generosity and presented with love.'
mycontent[7]='Didier&rsquo;s <a href="http://www.anti-anti.net/bendidier/index.php/projects" target="_parent">works</a> are disturbing and fascinating.'
mycontent[8]='They raise issues that are topical in this wide, <a href="http://www.anti-anti.net/bendidier/?page=open_dagen_rijksakademie&img=0" target="_parent">media-controlled</a> world of today, touching upon, as Sloterdijk points out, &ldquo[...] the disorder of the western world that has tamed its civilians so as not to have them listen to the fundamental notes of boredom, stress and moral panic.&rdquo'
mycontent[9]='In this chaotic world the concept of meaning has become lost.'
mycontent[10]='It is from here <a href="index.php" target="_parent">BL/DP begins</a>, having shaken off the idea that the world can be considered an objective and progressive project.'
mycontent[11]='Complacency never brought enlightenment, with or without the capital E.'
mycontent[12]='There is no clear distinction between autonomous work and applied art.'
mycontent[13]='Moreover, in Didier&rsquo;s <a href="http://www.anti-anti.net/bendidier/index.php/home/read/?page=postzegelserie_25_jaar_koningin_beatrix&img=0" target="_parent">&lsquo;functional&rsquo;</a> designs the studio ideas are filtered and translated into other, actualised images.'
mycontent[14]='This conceptual approach keeps design far from the retrospective, modernistic form; graphic tools always being ultimately utilised, and not just to clarify the world.'
mycontent[15]='Didier&rsquo;s designs do not promise understanding, but they may offer the hope of revealing the relationships that control our lives and undermining them.'
mycontent[16]='Is it later on <a href="http://www.anti-anti.net/bendidier/index.php/home/read/?page=front_and_back_cover&img=0" target="_parent">Newsweek</a> than on <a href="http://www.anti-anti.net/bendidier/index.php/home/read/?page=front_and_back_cover&img=0" target="_parent">Paris Match</a>?'
mycontent[17]='&lsquo;Would you put them back as before, please?&rsquo;'
mycontent[18]='&lsquo;You&rsquo;re not being serieus, <a href="http://www.anti-anti.net/bendidier/index.php/home/read/?page=front_and_back_cover&img=0" target="_parent">nobody looks at the cover</a>.&rsquo;'
mycontent[19]='Perhaps there are people who prefer their magazines on a pile lying face-up, showing <a href="http://www.anti-anti.net/bendidier/index.php/home/read/?page=front_and_back_cover&img=0" target="_parent">Brad Pitt</a> on a couch wearing a watch rather than New Orleans in the aftermath of hurricane Catherina.'
mycontent[21]='And especially the interaction with engagement and trendiness in representation forces me <a href="http://www.anti-anti.net/bendidier/index.php/home/read/?page=front_and_back_cover&img=0" target="_parent">to lose myself</a> in these sketches.'
mycontent[22]='Didier&rsquo;s devotion shows how little attention is paid to the <a href="http://www.anti-anti.net/bendidier/index.php/home/read/?page=front_and_back_cover&img=0" target="_parent">originals</a>.'
mycontent[23]='I see uncertainty, briefly, at the A of BANLIEUE.'
mycontent[24]='One can feel how it is made.'
mycontent[25]='They compel as well as question the relationship between the French riots and Eau de Toilette, the front and back, news and catastrophe, engagement and consumption, <a href="http://www.anti-anti.net/bendidier/index.php/home/read/?page=front_and_back_cover&img=0" target="_parent">tragedy and desire</a>.'
mycontent[26]='<a href="http://www.anti-anti.net/bendidier/?page=public_club&img=4" target="_parent">Four flags</a> in a row hang quietly in the empty white room of <a href="http://www.anti-anti.net/bendidier/?page=public_club&img=4" target="_parent">Casco</a>&rsquo;s in Utrecht.'
mycontent[27]='They are made of transparent, <a href="http://www.anti-anti.net/bendidier/?page=public_club&img=4" target="_parent">blue silk</a> and almost look like a projection.'
mycontent[28]='These images, that are meticulously tacked on, fade away when light reflects from behind.'
mycontent[29]='Light is deflected more by the colour blue than by any other colour. It was <em>John Tyndall</em> who discovered this in 1859 as he wondered why the sky was blue. Is it for this reason, perhaps the most anonymous and intangible colour?'
mycontent[30]='The time and effort it took to <a href="http://www.anti-anti.net/bendidier/index.php?page=public_club&img=1" target="_parent">embroider</a> the motifs on the expensive cloth contrast sharply with the casual imagery of the street.'
