After an exhausting day at the fair we headed to Studio des Acacias to see ‘New American Art,’ a collaboration between Matthew Day Jackson and Rashid Johnson.

It was a strong show and the fashion store music was quite a novelty. Tif Zab in the background.

Palais D ‘Tokyo was rocking with two brilliant shows. The first hadUgo Rondinone looking at John Giorno. It was strange to see a poets life work change from words on the page to physical works of art but it seemed to give it a different resonance. It was a moving landscape of a very warm human being.

Ragnar Kjartansson’s hyperreal presentation was fantastic. Cut through the surface and the subject matter was a little mundane but with real sets and actors Kjartanssons work definitely had a buzz.

Then in the middle of it all we bumped into HUO, Kevin McGarry, Emily Segal from K-Hole and Beatrix Ruf where we entered into discussing the pros and cons of Periscope. What is its future? Great work by Aude Pariset.
