This week on the blog we discovered, the wonderful public library collection at the Brand Library & Art Center in Glendale, CA, and the lotus bed in Echo Park Lake. We shared photos of Oscar Tuazon’s Live Steam Shift Whistle on The Downs, Bristol, UK, Joe Bradley’s exhibition at Le Consortium, art group Gelitin’s cave art in Costa Rica, and Maria Eisl’s new book 207 Photograms. We announced X-TRA magazine’s open call for applications for their writer-in-residence program in Pasadena, their magazine launch in Berlin, and a little taste of the upcoming fall issue. And, we gave you a sneak peak of the latest install at The Velveteria: Museum of Velvet Paintings.

 

 

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 !
