All i knew about Jordi Colomer before entering his solo show at Le Jeu de Paume in Paris was his Anarchitekton series, i was prepared for the absurd. I didn't know the absurd could make so much sense.

Mr. in Paris - Nobody Dies
Mr., Team Rabbit, 2008
The Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin in Paris is going all Lolita manga with an exhibition of Mr.'s recent art works. Part of the Superflat movement, heralded by Takashi Murakami, Mr. is showing a series of works that show the girly side of otaku culture.
Slavoutich, the Poisoned Town
Bonjour les enfants! I've seen the Sacré-Cœur for the first time in my life. Been to Paris countless time but it was the first time i went in that neighbourhood. Not to visit the basilica. Non, non but because it's very close from the Galerie Paul Frèches which is currently showing the series 4/7: Slavoutich by French photographer Guillaume Herbaut.
Adrian Street, Queen Bitch of pro wrestling
The exhibition From One Revolution to Another - Carte Blanche to Jeremy Deller which is currently running at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris is worth a visit for many reasons (i illustrate some of them in an article which has just been translated in... swedish), the most exciting one for me was a large b&w portrait of the magnificent Exotic Adrian.

The excuse for my visit to Paris was SmartCity, a conference organized in the frame of the festival Emergences. Emergences is an 'international festival of electronic cultures and new art forms'. However, one must accept that in a city like Paris the word 'international' doesn't necessarily that tacit rules will be respected and that the activities and conferences will be held in any other language than french. That's probably why i enjoyed the event so much.

In little more than 24 hours, i managed to visit some compelling art events in Paris. My first stop was for numeriscausa, a gallery that dedicates its energy to prove critics, audience and institutions (hence the market) that the so-called digital arts have achieved maturity.

Sorry for the long silence. I made a few trips, spend two days offline (not my choice obviously) but i'm going to be back on track and in full swing tomorrow. In the meantime, here's a quick post to remind you that this blog is alive.
