Tu viens d'où?

Un petit texte sur le fait d'oublier sa langue maternelle, paru dans l'édition du journal de l'école intitulée "Where is home?".

Schmuck

Cette année, pas le temps de faire une vraie collection, donc je me suis concentrée sur une couleur, le jaune paille.
Émail sur cuivre, pierres semi-précieuses, cuir.

Keine Zeit diese Jahr, um eine richtige Kollektion zu machen, also hab ich mich auf eine Farbe – "Strohgelb" – konzentriert.
Email auf Kupfer, Halbedelsteine und Leder.

Échange entre la Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst Leipzig et la Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts coordiné par Katrin von Maltzahn, Joachim Blank et Thomas Locher.
Galerie: BKS Garage, Copenhague

Durée de l'exposition: 4 – 24 novembre 2012

Le travail présenté ici a été réalisé en collaboration avec Tabea Nixdorff et Ann Richter comme aperçu du futur catalogue. Les posters présentent l'agrandissement d'une page – imaginaire – d'un des chapitres de cette publication: catalogue/essais/glossaire/coordonnées des artistes. Chaque chapitre reprend la maquette d'un standard du genre; catalogue "When attitudes become forms" de Harald Szeemann, Reclam-Buch (une collection de livres de poches bon marché donnée comme référence dans les écoles), dictionnaire Duden, annuaire de New York.
Les mêmes pages sont mises à disposition des visiteurs de l'exposition dans des blocs de format A4, imprimés en bleu sur rose et donc impossibles à copier pour une photocopieuse classique.
Le catalogue est prévu pour la deuxième exposition qui aura lieu à Leipzig en janvier 2013.

Premières impressions de Copenhague: cimetière, Palads, Designmuseum. Plus de photos à venir!

Bonsoir!
Voici deux petites choses déjà anciennes mais dont j'ai reçu les exemplaires il y a peu.

1 – le plus volatile: le foyer pour le cinéma ouvert pour un jour en juin 2012 par la classe de typographie. J'avais déjà publié les maquettes, voici ce que donne l'impression en sérigraphie rose et argent sur papier 70g. Perforation et prédécoupage permettent de détacher les tickets de cinéma imprimés au dos du flyer.

2 – le plus vieux: Werner Schmalenbach par Eduard Beaucamp, collection Energien | Synergien, maison d'édition Walther König, Köln. Mise en page lors de mon stage chez LMN Berlin en mai 2011!

01.09 Guggenheim

The new exhibition (Picasso black and white) has to be prepared so the hole rotunda of the Guggenheim is closed till saturday, mist!

29.09 going out

After a new visit at the book fair, I discovered a nice irish pub with friends of mine. At the Lillie's, musicians play irish music every saturday afternoon. The place is in the victorian style.Very nice, even if they don't have hot chocolate!Why did I write "going out"? Because Yesterday evening was my first real party evening. We went to Le Bain, a club with a roof top from where you see the whole city. There is also a pool there, that's why it's called like that. Electro music, crêpes and skyscrapers.

28.08 Art Book Fair

The art book fair opened yesterday in Brooklyn in the PS1 (PS for Public School, yet a part of the MoMA). I planed to come every day and it was right because today I just had time to see a small part of the exhibition. In the schoolyard, a lot of independent publishers had a stand. Two examples of books I found great there.

26.09 World Trade Center

I was in the 9.11 memorial. In place of the two towers, two pools have been built were water loudly falls into a big hole. All names of the victims are written in metal all around the pools. It's a well-done thing, I think, and it will be interesting when all constructions of the World Trade Center towers will be finished. Then the visitors would only here the waterfall.I also went to the Whitney Museum and was disappointed. Half of the museum was closed or only for members. And the rest left me cold. That's not completely true, because the Yayoi Kusama exhibition had interesting paintings and drawings. But since the japanese artist worked on his obsessions, I felt sometimes not in the mood to look at the artworks. Maybe it's something I should have seen another day.
 

25.09 art and design without design

I didn't write anything on Monday because it was a strange day and I had almost nothing to show. I was shopping! Okay, I also saw nice places like Williamsburg, the hipster place in Brooklyn. But yet I know it's better to pay 12 dollars for a museum, because during that time, you can't spend more money...
So yesterday I've been to the MAD – Museum for Art and Design. The visit began on the 6th level in the artist residence: each day, an artist of NYC works there and explains his work to visitors. Quite nice. Yesterday, Trong Gia Nguyen was there with his cake paintings and shoe project...

In the lower levels, you can see the Duke Doris collection for islamic art and a special exhibition about Native American and their work.
May I present you

KENT MONKMAN

JORDAN A. BENNETT

and MARIE WATT?

And because you deserve it: two pictures of Manhattan taken from Brooklyn yesterday.

It the staircase, a collection of glass. Yes of course, it was a museum for Design also.

You can imagine how disappointed I was to find, just at the end, the jewelry gallery closed! It was the reason for me to come. 

 

23.09 Ikea & Lime pie in Brooklyn

Yesterday was Ikea day for us. We took the Ikea water taxi in the south of the financial district and went to Brooklyn. Our goal was a nice brunch place and a hand made lime pie in this area. But the walk to those places wasn't bad. After this time in Red Hook we finally went to Ikea. And there, no surprise, it was the same as everywhere.

Advertising in the sky.

Gera (a place in Germany, close to Leipzig) is in New York!
