Month: December 2006

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)

Emmanuel Perrotin’s Miami Gallery, originally uploaded by pablogt.

Here cool guy Dig explains during Art Basel 2006 in this podcast about Perrotin’s latest show statement with riches in which artists Elmgreen & Dragset’s piece entitled Disgrace showcases a moving vehicle. Also this work reminds me of Beltrand Lavier‘s black piano and red ferrari carefully painted in every detail. This might be a less worked miami moving version of Lavier’s work. I think the statement of old car cover with oil, feathers and a maid all together is clear.
