I have been busy with my videoing and writing for a new performance piece. Paris gives me so much energy and at the same time the peace and calmness to get a lot of work done.
In the beginning of the month I received news that I had been selected for a residency in Denmark in the Skaw which is on the coast at the very top. A small town famous for a group later called the Golden painters that used to live in an art colony there in the 19th century and whose paintings are famous for the very special light.
I am going to create a video and work on some sculptures and will probably be adding to my blog if I don’t get too distracted by the scenery.
On the 22 October I went to the VIP at the Art Elycee and afterwards went to the FIAC private view.
I have never been inside the Grand Palais where the FIAC was held and it is quite a fantastic structure on the inside and I wondered if this was how it had felt to be inside the Crystal palace.
But unfortunately here ended all my wonder as the art was the same old hash, the only two things that sticks out was the two clear plastic skeletons that was grasping each other in a dance and an English woman taking offence of a gallery showing pornographic film and images, declaring vociferously that this should not be allowed.
Summed up, much sameness and a popularity for the theme of death.
