BEST OF 2014: PARIS’S TOP 10

Los Angeles was the capitol of the culture in 2014 but Paris remains one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Old cafés, beautiful historical places, amazing stores, nice walks…

Here are ten of my favorite events and places of the year:

1. Church of Saint Sulpice

On the right inside the entrance, there is the Chapel of the Angels with two beautiful frescoes made by Eugène Delacroix: Jacob Wrestling with the Angel and Heliodorus driven from the temple.
2 rue Palatine – 75006 Paris

This exhibition featured a hundred rugs and tapestries created by modern (Francis Bacon, Pablo Picasso) as well as contemporary artists (Dewar & Gicquel, Vidya Gastaldon). The London based artist Marc Camille Chaimowics designed the exhibition in collaboration with architect Christine Ilex Beinemeier. A beautiful show!

LAUNCH OF THE MAGAZINE OCTOPUSNOTES 3 AT CENTRE POMPIDOU

octopusnotes is a magazine that promotes Contemporary Art and Art History research. Each publication is composed of three collections. The first collection is a “thesis,” recently defended, focusing on Contemporary Art History. The second collection, entitled “comments,” is dedicated to artists’ interviews or talks. For the third collection, “notes,” octopusnotes invites an artist to conceive an edition.

For the launch of the third issue, Kandinksy Library at the Pompidou Center invited the magazine to present in a gold room.
The artist Martin Laborde did the edition for this new issue, called “Sac” which means bag.
All of the artists and people who contributed to octopusnotes were there. A talk took place.
The sun was there too. It was a lovely evening.

Here are some pictures !
