Skate qui sèche @ Upian – Paris
New month, new exhibition at our favorite Parisian Gallery: Agnes Rosse, the skate voyager. Agnes travels, crosses, exchanges. In her regular trips she finds unusual objects, life representations. It's a way of traveling... always looking down to the floor. She takes things that already exist, things that are there, at hand, things that are free and she can pick up. She makes them her property, her gifts, her lot. Agnes is a quiet adventurer. She's a poet in essence and…

After 2010 comes 2011 and another edition of "London Lives"! So same procedure, same possibilities (less prizes, no Bronze medalists this year? booo) but different sponsoring art company (don't worry the big two: The Guardian & Network rail are still here). The attractive thing about this competition once again is the possibility to have your work (if winner of corz) on display in the new south entrance of London Blackfriars station. Prizes prizes? Similar to last year... Gold medal • The…

It seems like "The Shape of things to come" (not to confuse with H. G. Wells's Sci-Fi novel) is the first exhibition @ Saatchi Gallery entirely dedicated to sculpture... although they forgot to mention Matthew Monahan's room also contains a good number of lithographs & post-technological human figure drawings. One of those excessive-orgasmic exhibitions Mr Saatchi has accustomed us to bringing the latest contemporary sculpture from 20 sculptors in the Saatchi collection... fairy tales, horrid monsters or some typical expensive…

Having traveled around the US for the last 2 years (Florida, LA, Texas, Colorado, Arizona...) "Nasa / Art: 50 years of exploration" is now being exhibited at the National Air and Space Museum, Washington, DC until early October. NASA’s historic triumphs and pioneering legacy are well known to millions, but the inspiring rocket launches, moon landings and planetary explorations also have had an impact on the imaginations of America’s leading artists. When the space agency turned 50 a couple of…

We can't wait for this year's Upfest (in Bristol) but in the meantime there's another just as important (mainly because of its big brand sponsors) street arts festival here in London... graff, rap, battles, skate, bmx... (fashion??? what?) a good list of live art performances @ a very affordable price .. £10 (well, free would have been even better). Taking over Hearn Street Car Park on 29th May over 10 hours of pure creative process and shows surrounded by a…
Find out more »Vaudou @ Fondation Cartier – Paris
Vaoudou, Voodoo, Vodun... I've never known how to spell it properly but will always remember watching those black & white Tarzan movies with scary witchcrafts when I was a kid. To recall those hidden fears the Parisian Fondation Cartier has compiled a good bunch of the mysticism & misunderstanding that always surrounds the cult we used to practice being kids... coss you also did right? Running until September 25th, Vaudou: African Voodoo will present to the public for the first…

PhotoEspaña 2011 – Madrid
I think there's no need to present this event again, as if none of you already knew about one of the most important photography festival in Europe. But again, there's a few lost souls who may still be unfamiliar with the "photography takes the city" concept. In it's 14th edition the annual PhotoEspaña festival (held in 4 cities at the same time: Madrid, Lisbon, Cuenca & Alcalá de Henares) takes "Interfaces: Portrait & Communication" as it's gravitational subject. Gerardo Mosquera has become…

Find out more »Mirage @ Galería Sabrina Amrani – Madrid
New art Gallery in the Madrid city center with a rather atypical approach that we would expect to see in the French capital rather than next to the beer & fun Madrilian neighborhood where the young local hipster crowd keep enjoying cheap tercios & botellines next door before moving to the nearby Malasaña clubs. A sign of things to come in central Madrid? Sabrina Amrani's gallery kicks off a new exciting exhibition calendar with the latest works by Franco-Algerian artist…
