The Koppel Project
Great exhibition of young artists. Particularly loved the use of ice and poetry.
Collaboration
Spent the day in the installation room with Charlotte, we both brought along objects of interested and played around with ideas and composition. My objects tended towards the masculine, perfectly contracting the more fluid, feminine forms of Charlotte’s. We both share a vision of subtle humour and inside jokes which resulted in these fairly absurd constructions.
Staging ideas
Koukou Ferdinand Makouvia @ Anne de Villepoix
I was walking around the streets of Marias trying to find the gallery I’d travelled to Paris for. Having found it it was locked up despite it being advertised as open. Disappointed I wandered along looking for a neighbouring shop who may know when it would reopen.
I came across the Anne de Villepoix gallery to ask if they knew. I was given a nonchalant Parisian shrug. The gallery however was showing the work of this young Tongolese artist which I really liked. His structural forms resonated with my current work and his paintings were full of intriguing texture.
