Last year and even this year I have continue to listen to Amadou and Mariam’s Dimanche a Bamako with Manu Chao. Today I just saw a video concert of them in paris, they rule.

Here is a trailer art piece that I liked from the same two artists I reported on yesterday. Please click on play now and please be advised the content is sexually explicit… and it is art.
Le dejeuner sur l’herbe (2006) by Ondrej Brody & Kristofer Paetau
Hommage to Edouard Manet

Today I received an email with a a few links… to a long semi-boring artist video presentation of their work (Ondrej Brody & Kristofer Paetau) and at the end something that looks planned but cool anyhow happened… check out the edited version.

I thought I should give you all a little gift from the artworks I saw at Palais de Tokyo in Paris last November in a exhibition entitled Five Billion Years. The video podcast is of the works I could actually record… some were so experimental that the lighting conditions were impossible. This exhibition had local artist Mark Handforth and the actual video has artists I found to be excellent and brought a hmmm/smile to my face.
Here is the beginning of the exhibition’s statement:
5,000,000,000 YEARS is an exhibition that places itself within the FIVE BILLION YEARS chapter by way of a mutation. Synonymous yet clearly dissimilar, the exhibition and the program-chapter that contains it create an endless feedback loop, each one mutating as it transfers back into the other. read the rest here.(once there, scroll down for the English version)
