Céleste Boursier-Mougenot at Palais de Tokyo

October 8, 2015 by ArtJetSet

Gallery was transformed into a dark water filled lake, listen for the soft music playing and the splashing of oars as visitors paddled their way through the space.

Palais de Tokyo Korakrit Arunandondchai and Tianzhuo Chen

October 6, 2015 by ArtJetSet

The exhibition is a colourful, twisted, pop, neon, trashy commentary on contemporary global youth culture.

Palais de Tokyo: Carte Blanche All of the Above

November 18, 2011 by ArtJetSet

On of my favourite contemporary spaces, the Palais de Tokyo, is undergoing massive renovations, and during this time are hosting selective exhibitions in the atrium and main auditorium. John M Armleder curated a All Of the Above, by presenting a variety of art works by 20 different artists (including sculptures, videos, and paintings) in an non-traditional manner.  He staged the works on a multilevel platform allowing the viewer only a frontal viewpoint. This intriguing display method gave me a whole different perspective […]

Food For Thought

April 1, 2008 by ArtJetSet

Finally went to the Centre Culturel Suisse, in the heart of the marais, its a space dedicated to art culture and performance with lots of interestings thing happening all the time. I saw a disaster sculpture show, looks like it was run by toddlers of hardcore folkart enthousiasts!!! horrible horrible scarrrrrry pottery. I LOVED the banana peel sculpture and the snowman. Naive but it says something about temporality, banal jokes, and banana/carrot/ mmmmmm smoothie!!! I’m hungry, and I LOVE cake!!! […]

Cellar Door Loris Greaud

March 27, 2008 by ArtJetSet

Cellar Door has two phases, ON and OFF. I had had the unfortunate yet sublime pleasure to experience Cellar Door on OFF. The entire of the Palais de Tokyo is assumed by the works of Loris Greaud. There is an industrial garage door, you stand in front of the motion sensor, and the door lifts. Combination of sound and light installations, I’m sure its spectacular when ON. The dark forest felt straight out of Tim Burton’s Nightmare before Christmas. Paintings […]

Third Mind at Palais de Tokyo

March 4, 2008 by ArtJetSet

The exhibition Third Mind, curated by Ugo Rondinone, is what he considers a “way to harmonize exhibition of various works was to imagine, by a mode of self reflection, the global concept of organic chaos”. Basically means everything and nothing at the same time, giving way to an interesting assortment of artistic endeavours. With many random abstract sculptures, installation rooms with nothing notable. The works I found the most compelling were the paintings Madonna, and Birch Trees by Joe Brainard, […]

DANIEL RICHTER German New Expressionist painters

December 6, 2007 by ArtJetSet

On my recent trip to Berlin I stopped by the Vonderbank Gallery, saw a painting exhibition by Christian Awe. The works were strongly reminiscent of Daniel Richter. These Daniel Richter paintings are part of the permanent collection at the Centre Pompidou in Paris. I love Richter’s paintings. The first large scale exhibition I saw of his work was Pink Flag White Horse at Toronto’s PowerPlant. It was immediately enamoured by the intensity of contrast between the grafitti like technique of […]
