ARTValerie Snobeck... An ostrich folded deck chair, nice comfortable place to put his head.
NO ARTA cover in FIAC on Booth to hire fire hose
ARTIncreased Stress 2012 by Cory Arcangel. Waste basket with Red Bull Cans.
ARTAt the Pompidou Claude Rouault 1973 very bland walls
And Oscar Tuazon’s Tire Test Column 2009
Also Betrand Lavier's amazing witty work La Bocca, Bosch (2005) Great show a highlight of our Paris Trip.
NO ARTOn the streets of Paris some cardboard boxes.
We saw so much art so I hope I don’t bore you too much but there were many good works to be seen, for instance Mathew Darbyshire had created a whole rack of shelf works for French Gallery Jousse Enterprise.
We acquired the Toby Ziegler work Composition with Triangles 2012 from Max Hetzler.
Loved the Aaron Young 1969 Spoilers at Bortolami gallery.
Campoli Presti was showing work by Nicola Martini who reluctantly posed for me in front of his work.
An edition of our work by KAWs was on display at Emmanuel Perrotin, it looked magnificent.
KAWs or Brian Donnelly had also lent his collection to Cartier Foundation to a show called Show and Tell, where I loved the work by Isabel Mendes la Cunha.
Then after a romantic dinner with all my fellow Tate Icons we headed to the Pompidou Centre which was fantastical. On this visit I was totally mesmerized by the building. Jessica Morgan and Maya descending the staircase.
The inspiring view of Sacré Coeur in Montmartre.
We made our way to a few galleries. First and second stops were to view Gabriel Orozco at Marian Goodman where we spotted this wonderful tree and then to Chantal Crousel where Chantal hosted us with the coolest food by Instant Culinaire.
We dropped by into the other space where we saw a performance by Haegue Yang.
Then I headed to Palais de Tokyo to the show Imaginez L’imaginaire and watched Ryan Gander’s fantastic new work. If you are an older person reading this you will remember Bruce Forsyth and the generation game in the 80s. (Brucie was ancient even back then). I coincidently had dinner with him last week; he is truly a phenomenon of the UK, showing it is cool to be ancient. Brucie as much an icon as Kate Moss. So items that have meaning to Ryan go past on a conveyor belt and you sit on a gorgeous Eames chair and watch them go by. However whatever you remember you do not go home with like in the game show all those years ago!
Lovely Black and White work by Josh Smith at Luhring Augustine.
One of the highlights was checking out Urs Fisher and the Ecole des Beaux Arts with Jessica Morgan. Where we came across a show stopper exhibition with Urs Fisher.
Not sure this was part of the Urs Fisher presentation.
There were sculptures everywhere with clay and weathered cats holding desperately onto their forms before they dissipated in the rain.One even tried to escape tragedy.
Helen Marten's new film was also impressive.
Back to the Galleries and Alex Israel at Almine Reich was very humorous. In this case definitely NO ART.
Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin showed the most beautiful works by Swedish Ceramicist Klara Kristalova
