ART in PARiS

Destination - Paris!
A zillion things to see, hear, taste, experience and resorb! Little bars with big warm atmosphere and huge galleries with more than huge installations, the whole experience is enormous! If you add a little bit of Palais de Tokyo exhibitions or a segment of Pompidou Center collection and spice it up some French wine - then you get a memory for life!


Palais de Tokyo is a contemporary art gallery with no more then 4-5 installations, but they are the biggest ones I've seen so far. Projects are mostly highly complex and some of them require a close interference of public (viewers). At the exhibition called Superdome, a big pile of garbage with a huge pipe in the middle of it is a good example. It was a house covered with garbage where you may enter only by crawling into the pipe and then when you enter you find yourself in a luxurious house with a garage, pool, 2 floors and I have no idea how many rooms! That's one hell of a contemporary way of art expression...



Superdome exhibition, Palais de Tokyo


On every corner you may find something creative and inspiring. Lots of vintage shops, museums, street arts and small galleries including the smallest gallery of Paris which I think has no more than 1 quadrate meter!

Pompidou is another story. A place where you may stay for 3 days and still don't manage to see everything inside! We stayed for maybe 2 hours and we saw only part of modern art collection and ran through the first floor with contemporary art collection :( My external memory was overloaded with images, so I think that it would be unfair not to share some ;)

Tacheles and other Squat Places in BeRliN

Wow! It's been a long time! Why? I have no idea or good excuse...
My head is always full with so many impressions that are filling my mind during the day or during the night ;)
Last one that's quite big is Tacheles, Berlin! On my backpack trip through Europe I have visited among others the great BERLIN! Well, I have to admit that before even considering the route through Europe, Berlin was not on my ,,have to see'' list. BUT, as it's almost always the case the place I the less I expected from surprised me the most! I shell get to the point.


Tacheles:

Tacheles is a building that is squatted by young people mostly artists, and now is the center for all the people that are art lovers. Full of ateliers, bars, concerts, performances! A paradise for me :) In the building which is hysterically full of graffiti, posters in 100000 colors gives the first good vibe. You may go to each floor and visit different kind of ateliers and be the witness of art making. A photo machine made from paper, where you enter and instead of a flash, you see a person that is making a portrait of you... Crazy clothes, paintings, DJ and on top of the building there is a bar made of old pieces of cars, furniture, electronics and amazing view of the city! A place to stay :D
There is a little bit of everything for every soul.








XY Squated building:

As me and my friend were most of the time just led by our foot and not the mind we have come up to a place that is also a squatted building with galleries and bars but unfortunately we have no idea what's the name of the place! Anyway it's another crazy surrounding that I have to mention, visualy and literary! so, enjoy >>>
