La France
I just came back from a trip to Paris and made an effort to see some gallerys and street art but latogether was a bit disapointed. From looking at the ekosystem website I was under the impression that good artistic graffiti was prevalent in Paris but accodring to Alex One, Parisian artist it was stopped 10 years ago and any work is cleaned off immediately by the mayor, known as Notre Dame. This leaves graffiti to exist in the coffee table mannor of the gallery and pushes the real artists into the suburbs and out of the culture of the city.
The Content of My Head is Visable @ Espace Beaurpaire
As said, coffee table fashion hype graff on canvas some interesting stuff but mostly conformities to gallery art and graffiti, leaving the work with no particular purpose just a mix of two branding styles.
Permanent Collection @ Musee Du Arte Modorne
As it says on the tin. A great collection of modern greats to contemporary inginuity. Similar in style, but more contemporary and French, to the collection at Tate Modern.
Notre-Histoire @ Palais de Tokyo
Very pop, very big, very much like the fluffy popier version of the YBA movement. Large works, witty, pointless, cute, nice. Not too impressed but worth seeing.
