RYAN McGINLEY - YOU AND I - TWIN PALMS PUBLISHERS - MAY 2011
You & I
Ryan McGinley
Ryan McGinley makes large-scale color photographs of his friends, a group that forms part of New York’s Lower East Side youth culture. He uses photography to break down barriers between public and private spheres of activity. His subjects are willing collaborators: drawn from skateboard, music, and graffiti subcultures, they perform for the camera and expose themselves with a frank self-awareness that is distinctly contemporary. The results form a portrait of a generation that is savvy about visual culture and acutely aware of how identity can be communicated through photography.
McGinley’s newest work signals a departure from the urban youth culture images for which he is best known; he has been working in natural settings outside New York City, creating specific situations for his subjects to lose themselves in the moment. McGinley embraces nature as a site of freedom and captures a sense of buoyancy and release.

CHARLOTTE PERRIAND - PETIT PALAIS -7 APRIL - 18 SEPTEMBER - PARIS - 2011
Charlotte Perriand liked having "the eye range, that is to say, pay attention to all the beings and things, especially the most humble. Her "eye fan" became a regular "photographic eye"to generate images of cutting-edge, self-serving to its highly innovative furniture designs.
That is what the Petit Palais hopes to introduce to the public by deploying pictures and furniture Charlotte Perriand both in the showroom on the ground floor, called Jacqueau Hall, in the halls of the permanent collections in resonance, then with the furniture of the eighteenth century, realist paintings, Greek vases ...
This exhibition is part of the policy of the Petit Palais to give all its rightful place in the art of photography and contribute to the development of French art furniture.
Le Petit Palais until Septembre 2011

M/M PARIS - GEORGE CONDO - KANYE WEST - SILK SCARVES SERIES - 2011
As you may have heard Kanye West has commissioned George Condo to make paintings that were then used for Kanye West's MBDTF album cover. In total there are five art works; I love them all.
The great news is that, Kanye West has commissioned M/M's Mathias Augustyniak and Michael Amzalag to basically write his name in a style of a frame for the album cover. However, the two artists launched an idea that the same must be turned into silk scarves.
The scarves will measure a square meter in size and will be of a limited edition; 250 in total therefore 50 per each design.
