Seconde exposition finies!

[in approximative English below]

Le pitch
21 jours d'exposition pour cette seconde exposition cette année à Montréal. Une série d'image intitulée "Série Murale" où les images présentées avaient comme lien la présence de fresque urbaine comme on dit poliment dans le milieu.

Ca c'est passé à Montréal donc, au Sino, et jusqu'à maintenant j'ai vendu une image, à des gens que je ne connaissais pas avant le vernissage donc c'est plutôt cool. C'est l'image ci-dessus qui a eu un petit sticker rouge sous son cadre, une vue de Berlin.

[and now in English]

Some context
And exhibition of 21days, the second one this year in Montreal. A series of image called "Mural Series" where each of them contains at least a bit of street art in it.

It took place in Montreal as I said, at the Sino, and so far I sold one image to people I didn't even know a few minutes before the vernissage and that's pretty cool. It's the image above that got a little red sticker under its frame, a view from Berlin.

Premier finissage à Montréal

In broken English below

Je ne suis pas sûr que le mot existe, mais dans le doute j'explique, un finissage est la fin d'une exposition et donc l'opposé de vernissage... Un évènement de fin d'exposition donc pour la série d'image intitulée Infrarouge que je présentais tout le mois de mai 2019 au Café Joe à Saint-Henri quartier de Montréal au Québec, planète terre tout ca tout ca.

Quelques chiffres, troisième exposition, troisième pays, dix images, des têtes connues, des nouvelles têtes, une très jolie tête, mais en gros un très bon public. Que dire? Je suis très heureux d'avoir pu montrer quelques uns de mes travaux dans cette ville, d'avoir réussi à transformer la noirceur et la froideur de l'hivers en énergie créatrice (pour la télékinésie je ne suis pas encore au point) pour développer des nouvelle séries dont celle la. Joie donc.

La suite en juin ailleurs pour une autre série, toujours à Montréal mais un autre quartier, un autre village, un autre réseau.

And in English translated by a French while drinking his first coffee of the day

"Finissage" a word I'm not sure it exists for real, when in doubt I explain, a finissage is a response to the vernissage, one is for the opening of an exhibition when the second is for its closing. A closing event then for the series of images called Infrared I was presenting all month of March 2019 at Cafe Joe in St-Henri, Montreal, Quebec, planet earth...

Some numbers, third exhibition, third country, ten images, a few known heads, a few new heads, a very beautiful one, and overall a pretty cool audience. What can I say? I'm very happy to have been able to show a glimpse of my work in that city, to have been able to transform the darkness and coldness of the winter into creative energy (for telekinesis I'm not ready yet) that resulted in new images series, the Infrared being one of them. Joy and happiness simply.

What happen next is another series that will be presented still in Montreal but in another hood, another village in that city, another network.

Friday Afternoon in London

My working trip to Cambridge has been postponed meaning no stop-by by London, I thought. But a week before I also thought whatever, let's fly to London for the weekend and meet my friend Janiv as it was planed. Flights Berlin-London are so cheap it will be a shame to not use them, so I did!

Thanks to a so rare strike in Berlin airport I had to take off from Hamburg airport, giving me the chance to visit this city - shortly - for the first time. First time if I don't count the crossing of Hamburg by car on my numerous trips France - Scandinavia in the past years.

The trip
Wake up early, run to catch the tram, jump into the train in Berlin to Hamburg and S-Bahn to the airport, shitty croissant, tasteless sandwich and bad coffee I'm in the plane. Almost empty I fall asleep as soon as we take off. Arrival in London, buy a transport card, take the train, change at Victoria, take the tube, leave at Highbury and Islington Station and wait for my friend facing the well named Islington Cock Tavern.

First things come first, we have a coffee and delicious toast at Maison d'Etre then direction South Bank with the idea to visit an exhibition about light and color in a place I forgot the name while just briefly remembering a poster in the subway I may have seen an hour before... We reach the possible place which obviously was closed with reopening announced for 2018... A beautiful failure.

So we keep walking and talking. Tate Modern in our back we bravely take the Millennium bridge and continue our exploration in the direction we came from but from the other side of the Thames. At Saint Paul's Cathedral we turn left, pass King's College London, then Wellington street, Covent Garden, aiming for Soho and the Photographer's Gallery which is ok but not crazy neither.

Tea time passed beer time arrives
Museum done, time for a pint and it will be the Blue Post. It's 6pm-ish, we found place to seat on the banquette and two ales. We talk and talk and we bring our neighbor into out discussion while searching for the name of the place. Time flies, two more ales, peanuts, local stories about the place, David Bowie, tailors in London versus tailors in Italy later and out stomachs scream for more. Goodby to our new friend and direction a not too far sushi place, later followed by ice cream. Always good to have local friends with similar food interest or obsession.

Studious Saturday

It all started with a cool workshop organised by the people behind wefactory where we had to build our own lamp made of concrete. My first concrete experience with concrete.

And it did continue with the - finally - uploading of the catalogue of my first solo exhibition of little planets. Exhibition that took place in Morlaix in Brittany June to August 2015. Ten of my images have been presented and the link below is re-showing them.


If you are interested by seeing more of my images, you can as well have a look to the catalogue of my latest exhibition that took place in Berlin September 2016.

Catalogue Little Planets 2 online!

It's about three weeks that my exhibition Little Planets 2 is over.

Right about the time I needed to learn scribus and to create my first catalogue - and not to mentiokn the help of a few friends to be sure that I wasn't written with too many mistake and that visually it was ok-ish.

About 3 hours now that catalogue is visible on issuu.
