Several dozen people demonstrated outside the palace gates on the opening day, a protest organized by the National Union of Writers of France, a little-known, right-wing group dedicated to artistic purity in France. Others feel that placing the American's works in the French palace is a folly of sorts and the pop art of Mr. Koons has no place in a 'perfectly balanced' building like Versailles.<br /><br />In addition, there's the potential "conflict' of interest given that six of the 17 pieces are actually owned by billionaire François Pinault who actually employs the show's curator. <a href="http://artforum.com/news/week=200837#news21073">More on that here.</a><br /><br />In his opening remarks at the news conference, Jean-Jacques Aillagon, the chairman of Versailles and a former French culture minister, defended Versailles against its critics. He called Mr. Koons a “cultivated” artist who treated the artistic history of Versailles with respect, and described the exhibition as “a great cultural event.”<br /><br />Mr. Koons praised the “openness” of France for its decision to exhibit an American artist at Versailles. And he said that he drew his inspiration for his floral sculptures from the “fantasy and control” shown by Louis XIV.<br /><br />Personally, I find the juxtaposition of the new with the old, the shiny with the antiquated and the preposterous with the traditional to be exhilarating and an effective way to highlight the best of both genres. Koons' work is almost more appealing to me when placed in these settings than when in a more modern and miminalistic space.<br /><br />Take a look at the exhibit, curated by Elena Guena and the Pompidou's Laurent Le Bon. I have compiled images of all 17 pieces, so now you can decide what you think:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgTtkf3mfmN-DMs2A6EC1UbBKg1TldOEeS36OadnCq5BvlrNzo7V_45Qz9E1HU05RBOhbSBvJ852gmORdQ9DD6Yyid2yTytAZt9aDpe6cOQaifSim50uqQQ15AiAdL52RxHBP9nk66iN38/s1600-h/Picture+50.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251160875981090882" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgTtkf3mfmN-DMs2A6EC1UbBKg1TldOEeS36OadnCq5BvlrNzo7V_45Qz9E1HU05RBOhbSBvJ852gmORdQ9DD6Yyid2yTytAZt9aDpe6cOQaifSim50uqQQ15AiAdL52RxHBP9nk66iN38/s400/Picture+50.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 495px; height: 367px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_EgZueL6tIQxajg1cuWBpfXNVM928rrMre_pSi0vGrnKjEEp1cWoF9Ygk5GJd8YIaqPj1Hv2mlEPGA8F-0-Rfzf88sHetutQVasaWzD774GcwDVAvDXTo-pe_6Eiq_4UHoitLbPU7Kzvs/s1600-h/Picture+51.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251166694504575314" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_EgZueL6tIQxajg1cuWBpfXNVM928rrMre_pSi0vGrnKjEEp1cWoF9Ygk5GJd8YIaqPj1Hv2mlEPGA8F-0-Rfzf88sHetutQVasaWzD774GcwDVAvDXTo-pe_6Eiq_4UHoitLbPU7Kzvs/s400/Picture+51.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 495px; height: 264px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNai5g9Lmp_vuj2hDkBIs03eCFr7K40WLBhZp7-P7S5cXkYT38qOfi4firad3bAzEsGULztGqso0rKXnOTqcSzGIs-IAC0EiRE9QPQxe8bIw9602nTHwA7wDOpF-LWvVomu4q2BkT2t4mo/s1600-h/Picture+40.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251168555353231554" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNai5g9Lmp_vuj2hDkBIs03eCFr7K40WLBhZp7-P7S5cXkYT38qOfi4firad3bAzEsGULztGqso0rKXnOTqcSzGIs-IAC0EiRE9QPQxe8bIw9602nTHwA7wDOpF-LWvVomu4q2BkT2t4mo/s400/Picture+40.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 494px; height: 434px;" /></a><br />Above: "Split Rocker" (2000)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdwV7imU_DCuVlxehooXjiVjCaloflCSlNpy7-G_83htTvmDdEflB-34zJqTsRpieRqKnHAMUnoBh1MTbHvbMu0stQARAoqGIFEAsR46wYTZZpL8dsvHKYtaNS-VRh4cFoop0k_j9jca3s/s1600-h/Picture+52.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251159826232407058" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdwV7imU_DCuVlxehooXjiVjCaloflCSlNpy7-G_83htTvmDdEflB-34zJqTsRpieRqKnHAMUnoBh1MTbHvbMu0stQARAoqGIFEAsR46wYTZZpL8dsvHKYtaNS-VRh4cFoop0k_j9jca3s/s400/Picture+52.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 494px; height: 498px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEpYn84Xx4bnkqmdgSCJA4o0-exfTw2Vso2CXI_vNFEdHXrBqGF8QplazojRdS96yXRnxbypd6jnqAJuuqMtjw11TwJGxZysBVHHz78iiSBAhBcTvJ_QtTZ8f1Ak-PzgBj0kJdQdoLJswx/s1600-h/Picture+36.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251152113985624962" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEpYn84Xx4bnkqmdgSCJA4o0-exfTw2Vso2CXI_vNFEdHXrBqGF8QplazojRdS96yXRnxbypd6jnqAJuuqMtjw11TwJGxZysBVHHz78iiSBAhBcTvJ_QtTZ8f1Ak-PzgBj0kJdQdoLJswx/s400/Picture+36.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 493px; height: 859px;" /></a><br />Above : "Rabbit" (1986)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrPNcF1Gt9j27WRaSBjSErURMNpi8uAvUMqLPADCjvYZizMJsydvLe8t3IPYhmaURZpGMBXeoQrrDXsWe5yikamct0GHDJcQRDTtQN9LaiTAvotAzjTD27PFGHBPL0Cb9FiujEq4h9AnJn/s1600-h/Picture+44.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251162226173779346" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrPNcF1Gt9j27WRaSBjSErURMNpi8uAvUMqLPADCjvYZizMJsydvLe8t3IPYhmaURZpGMBXeoQrrDXsWe5yikamct0GHDJcQRDTtQN9LaiTAvotAzjTD27PFGHBPL0Cb9FiujEq4h9AnJn/s400/Picture+44.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 491px; height: 378px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih50dYuLTed4TjerdB1ORFTJugHW-LX4oOjE69s2sUH-8NrKNQeKcLk4_ZBY96_oUXEE2uVzkQYwSXdkpAIMNbfMwYDfWEqLRSWMNQFdogsTUKTU3GZYA0zCitYn7VJemG3htlEY1g0-KY/s1600-h/Picture+39.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251166885019527634" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih50dYuLTed4TjerdB1ORFTJugHW-LX4oOjE69s2sUH-8NrKNQeKcLk4_ZBY96_oUXEE2uVzkQYwSXdkpAIMNbfMwYDfWEqLRSWMNQFdogsTUKTU3GZYA0zCitYn7VJemG3htlEY1g0-KY/s400/Picture+39.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 489px; height: 325px;" /></a><br />Above: "Balloon Dog" (1999-2000)<br /><br />Not everyone in France was as pleased by the installation.

Each of Koons's works is a “dialogue” with the setting, he said. The placing of the lobster in the room dedicated to Mars, the god of war, for example, “goes back to medieval-type times.” The graphics painted on the lobster “almost represent flames and fire. And so there’s this sense that if you stay in the public eye long enough, eventually that could be your fate.”<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCkDTlQpobGnlt27WmDwMpYwm2I_YEX5wqW9x5Yj0WudoA0kZ8zG4tgqm-U13qZ6_TM-hcHZ5pxpGi7P1Z3RGui6v6QMivMuTXqCO6CD0qKSfh0EOXc7gk9oqhst34fD0WKcDstf09K3NV/s1600-h/Picture+61.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251184966677270530" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCkDTlQpobGnlt27WmDwMpYwm2I_YEX5wqW9x5Yj0WudoA0kZ8zG4tgqm-U13qZ6_TM-hcHZ5pxpGi7P1Z3RGui6v6QMivMuTXqCO6CD0qKSfh0EOXc7gk9oqhst34fD0WKcDstf09K3NV/s400/Picture+61.png" style="cursor: pointer;

They smiled and said: "No problem Kam. No problem at all."<br /><br />The project required 1000 sq/ft of wallpaper for the Girls & Boys Restroom walls and ceilings.

Up to 16 layers created using different modes can be combined for rich, complex musical expression.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD-nSb_GgJdT3UrLgwIQlpyGrRnSpQVSmO-URu6u7Vq09lguqKyjDzfuFlzZbJFaSt63GGQ9Onf3ha8eJD4Dui5wC9yP1tB-QTzXBaih-NiJWhWfs-v9QrQN9b6JTGpK42C_O_XwOlmptC/s1600-h/Picture+22.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250854338079184898" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD-nSb_GgJdT3UrLgwIQlpyGrRnSpQVSmO-URu6u7Vq09lguqKyjDzfuFlzZbJFaSt63GGQ9Onf3ha8eJD4Dui5wC9yP1tB-QTzXBaih-NiJWhWfs-v9QrQN9b6JTGpK42C_O_XwOlmptC/s400/Picture+22.png" style="cursor: pointer;" /></a><br />Above: hardware details<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Blocks</span><br />Once complete set of 16 layers is called a “block.”<br />The TENORI-ON can store up to 16 programmed blocks (16-layer groups) in memory, and you can switch from block to block instantly during performance.<br /><br />You could, for example, create a musical composition in one block, then copy that composition to another block and edit it to create a variation of the original composition. Or you can load a number of previously-created compositions into separate blocks from an SD Memory Card and switch between them to create variation during playback.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgViVeXMqEzJdkxSLV27n40S9JSpN2f5luWkwA-HMn2B3ufdLNLFfKbES9gnamRaavgcv10nhTrpdoFOTYm59i3KZRV4WJogXIdkS0HSawgo0hAihCzcg725qi8BawGhinNAPaQfNlcaYzZ/s1600-h/Picture+24.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250854220789005330" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgViVeXMqEzJdkxSLV27n40S9JSpN2f5luWkwA-HMn2B3ufdLNLFfKbES9gnamRaavgcv10nhTrpdoFOTYm59i3KZRV4WJogXIdkS0HSawgo0hAihCzcg725qi8BawGhinNAPaQfNlcaYzZ/s400/Picture+24.png" style="cursor: pointer;" /></a><br />Above: collaborate and share or send music<br /><br />Click images to enlarge:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGSo0qxIoIHFBJ5-OwoL4zN-yN744_dJy1dhELQpWrUYbI9tPe2MFO5FqpgMBW8LX1Y8903VHWKiwNutl_aEvMfJOc99eW5kHR-Lb_NI02K6dUGWIp_MNW82ceLDgURtrdWFTRgauySyKo/s1600-h/tenori-on2.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250855496022318050" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGSo0qxIoIHFBJ5-OwoL4zN-yN744_dJy1dhELQpWrUYbI9tPe2MFO5FqpgMBW8LX1Y8903VHWKiwNutl_aEvMfJOc99eW5kHR-Lb_NI02K6dUGWIp_MNW82ceLDgURtrdWFTRgauySyKo/s400/tenori-on2.png" style="cursor: pointer;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAWE849rvDnuhKV8Cq4adyf3j_n0OWqMztenP8CpBTe2nMzq0HYj6T8bgCR8wDaecgZY2pkIPTOsFeWAoa-au3h_UHZz3iG9Qzdq1QjlJSPjjhFI_9lm5CXXep1KRjDbcQ2zJWhuLLPosn/s1600-h/tenori-on3.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250855564130047522" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAWE849rvDnuhKV8Cq4adyf3j_n0OWqMztenP8CpBTe2nMzq0HYj6T8bgCR8wDaecgZY2pkIPTOsFeWAoa-au3h_UHZz3iG9Qzdq1QjlJSPjjhFI_9lm5CXXep1KRjDbcQ2zJWhuLLPosn/s400/tenori-on3.png" style="cursor: pointer;" /></a><br /><br />To see all the technical specs go <a href="http://www.global.yamaha.com/tenori-on/specification/index.html">here</a>.<br /><br />It's available for purchase now.
