Guest photo blog: Steven Marshall – From London to Paris with Diana…
January 31st, 2010 · 3 Comments · Art, Guest posts, London, Paris, Photography
Artist Steven Marshall presents London and Paris through the lens of the Diana camera. The images are part of an ongoing collection of street photography experiments using analogue equipment.
Influenced by psychogeography and the idea of the flâneur, the photographs document the exploration of the urban landscape.
Can you track where he’s been?

Photography rules at London Art Fair
January 13th, 2010 · No Comments · Art, Events, Exhibitions, London, Photography
Art fairs can be great barometers for finding the new trends in collecting and while I thought painting was still top of the agenda, the London Art Fair are looking towards the future of photography.
I went to the preview and press conference where fair Director Jonathan Burton told that their increased interest in photography has [...]

Left Bank Book Boutique: Assouline
December 23rd, 2009 · No Comments · Art, France, Paris, Shopping, Stores

While Taschen’s Left Bank store is sleek and ordered, with books uniformly displayed, Assouline has a thrown together, boudoir atmosphere, with scented candles and stationery.
I love [...]

The Palais de Tokyo has always been missed off my Paris itinerary, so this time we got there straight after breakfast to check out the new exhibition, Chasing Napoleon.
The museum is housed in the original Palais de Tokyo, built in 1937, and opened in 2002 as a vast, concrete and marble space dedicated to French and [...]

Jarvis makes an exhibition of himself…again!
November 12th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Art, Concerts, Events, Exhibitions, London, Music
Jarvis Cocker took over Shoreditch’s Village Underground for three days of workshops, jamming, cake eating and informal performances.
