As you may noticed I spent the holidays in Belgium, it was a lot of fun but definitely not the best time for an arty trip as most of the galleries were closed. This little inconvenience gave me the opportunity to discover alternative art spaces, but also to go back to the museum. Except at…

I wrote about Guy Yanai few times on the blog. When I arrived in Israel 3 years ago, he was one of the first artist who openned me his studio and I was straight away fond of his work. More intellectual that it might appear at first sight, and filled with contemporary cultural references, Yanai’s bold artwork is…

Phillips’s Auction building is like a lighthouse on Berkeley Square. So big and bright than when I saw the giant yellow letters spelling Juergen Teller’s name from the other side of the square I had to go see what’s there. Over a year ago the German photographer took the West for a ride in the south…

The “Shorts” are part of a new series of spontaneous posts mixing brief writing, pictures, and unedited videos that I will share every time I go visit an exhibition or an artist studio. Hope that you will enjoy this little “raw” project. Jimmie Durham‘s exhibition ” Various items and Complaints” at the Serpentine Gallery is without…

The Museum of Bat Yam a.k.a. the MoBY has a beautiful and quiet iconic venue (a perfect mix of brutalism and modernism architecture), something you will almost not expect from a small town museum. Today I’m meeting Elad Rosen, the curator of MoBY’s newest exhibition “Mini Golf Bat Yam“. Rosen, who is also an artist,…

Every time I leave an exhibition I promised myself to write about it as soon as I get home. Even if it’s short, even if it’s just my modest thoughts and opinions, but most of the time I end up procrastinating. Sometimes I wish that I was running a food or fashion blog, talking about…

It’s been a couple of weeks since my last post. I don’t know if it is really a choice or the result of a very busy life. I’m not complaining at all, but I have so much to share with you, new books, new exhibitions, new artists, and of course new studio visits, that I decided…

Last Friday we decided to take a walk, and to stroll around the very south part of the city where we used to live. Not to far from our old Florentine neighbourhood there is the Kiryat Hamelacha, a place that truly doesn’t look like any other place I know. It’s rough, the architecture style made us think…

Traveling a lot is of course such a joy and a source of inspiration, but it is also asking some organisation skills. When some will plan ahead their shopping sessions and write down a list of food spots they want to try, the first thing I will check is what are the exhibitions going on…

It is really by accident that we walked into David Reeb‘s exhibition. We were on our way out when attracted by the colourful paintings that we could see from the main hall we decided to make a last stop. And dears, what a stop. I’m totally ashamed to say that I didn’t know who was…

I just spent the last nine days in Brussels, and despite a pretty hectic programme I managed to go see some exhibitions that I wanted to talk about with you. This city really has a lot to offer in term of contemporary art, originality and creativity. Not quiet close from its bigger sisters London and…

I saw a lot of exhibitions this past few weeks, and I must say that despite my interest and the obvious merit of some of them, I found it hard to “review” these shows. I’m certainly not a critic, and one of the most important lesson Sotheby’s taught me this summer was that there isn’t…
