It is with pleasure that I announce to you the publication online in two places (The Paris Blog and EyePreferParis) of my recent, and fairly long-winded, ramble on art in Paris. Unlike the past months, this month I focused on a thematic issue pervading Paris' artscene: the object. I see this in part as a preamble or contextualization for the mid-May article I am planning with interview of Parisian Boris Achour (his work pictured above here, from "Actions Few" a project in 1993-97, photo taken from his site). So, having had the pleasure of being invited to the new Jacques Tati show at the cinémathèque for its charming opening last week, I make mention of that, the two Andy Warhol shows in Paris, one of my favorite artists who tends to focus on objects in various ways, Sophie Calle, and then I take a closer look at two contemporary artists working with "things" in a variety of ways, Olivier Babin and Boris Achour.
