Diane, A Shaded View on Fashion

Ne Dans La Rue - Graffiti - Fondation Cartier 7 July - 29 November

Dear Shaded Viewers,

Ne Dans La Rue Graffiti opens on the 7th July at the Fondation Cartier, today was a preview for the press. I saw this handsome guy after I left the exhibition, he had nothing to do with Ne Dans La Rue and the Graffiti  but in a way I thought that he had everything to do with it.

Graffiti started in the streets of NYC in the early 70's and rapidly became a world wide phenomenon. What started out as illegal is now the basis for a 5 month exhibition at Fondation Cartier from tomorrow until 29 November.

McDermott & McGough WITHOUT YOU I AM NOTHING at Galerie Jerome de Noirmont

Dear Shaded Viewers,

Galerie Jerome de Noirmont hosts McDERMOTT 7 McGOUGH  WITHOUT YOU I AM NOTHING JUNE 4 - JULY 22, 2009. The images all have cinematographic origins and are superimposed one above another on the canvas just like a split screen. However the topic of this exhibition is not cinema but rather a key to understanding the intellectual course of the couple McDermott & McGough.

As children McDermott and McGough  used to escape their redundant routine and boring life growing up in the 1950's-60's in suburbia. Films were their window to the world of glamour and they used them as a tool to understand how people lived in other time periods.  They also studied the stage sets, the decors and film stills of all of these movies which nourished them to recreate rather  than appropriate  images from the past

Gotscho - portrait by Denis Darzacq

Dear Shaded Viewers,

Gotscho has been blurring the boundaries between art and fashion since the 1990's, the conceptual artist takes everyday objects like furniture and clothing and distorts, scars and tortures them into finished sculptures and installations.
