Blaire, beautiful Blaire (who recently started an online boutique: The Vitrine where the exquisites will make you swoon), invited me to go to an opening, "Ailleurs" at l'Espace Louis Vuitton [60, rue de Bassano]. Ran ran ran after work to get there (only a little more than a hop from where I work in the 8e). Such a high-fashion, snooty place. So many m'as-tu vu? types. (Have you stopped to appreciate my wonder, because I am thoroughly inspecting you). Meanwhile, I was appreciating Blaire's wonder and how good it was to reconnect after not seeing her since I moved from Paris a year ago. Also wondering over the melting letter blocks hanging from the ceiling (Laurent Mulot, "Middle of Nowhere").
Next wonder: Tia-Calli Borlase's bra creations. ("Geographie du Plaisir"). As Blaire pointed out - such softness to provoke such menacing shadows. Almost like their shadows are the wire hangers they hang from. Mechanical in some way.
Next: Bas Jan Ader's boat, "In search of the miraculous" - a tragic, but beautiful story of a 33-year old artist setting sail across the Atlantic on an impossibly small boat. He got lost.
Next: looking skyward in the Louis Vuitton store [101, avenue des Champs Elysées].
To finish: the bathrooms in Tokyo Eat - the restaurant at Palais du Tokyo [13 Avenue du Président Wilson].

Wow, it looks like a neat show! The shadows of the ice block letters remind me of the Pathe logo. I'm glad you are coming home.
