-1 Ouch for the Young Taiwanese artists at the Beaux-arts de Paris.
I have an excuse for seeing this show Officer, really. I was actually headed for the exhibition of Florentine drawings by folk like Michelangelo, Vasari, Pontormo and del Sarto but it was bait and switch time or low ball/high ball (I’ve never quite been sure which is which) – that is, the guard shooing folks away said the Florentine show doesn’t open til the 27th but you’ll be delighted by the Taiwanese one. Sure!
Most of you are not old enough to recall the chimpanzee that Dave Garroway had on the Today Show; one J. Fred Muggs – who painted stuff among other talents. Well after seeing this show I’ve decided Darwin had it all wrong; we’re not descended from apes, it’s vice-versa. J. Fred has it all over these mugs doing video, neon and 100 dime-store buddhas on the stairs.
Go? It was free but if they paid me I wouldn’t.
Bonus pix: You may have to take this on trust, I know Bernie Madoff used up your rachmones level for the year, but today was Amarcord day in Paris with little white fluffy things coming down all over the Seine banks; dreamy.
