While in Paris last week, I dropped by the Centre Pompidou to take a look at some art. The Center is quite big and relatively new so I’d never been there before. I already knew half of the pieces exhibited in the permanent collection, either because I’d seen them in some of my classes (that’s [...]

Leap Years

April 5, 2009

June 30, 2006

To anyone who didn’t go to the Biennale last year, I must say you’ve missed something. Not everything was good (I was quite deceived by most of the pavilions actually), but there was one work I was extremely impressed by: the Icelandic section. Gabrí­ela Fridriksdóttir (who is, by the way, one of my favorite artists) was [...]
