While we were in Paris, the girl and I swung through the Pompidou. I had been interested in seeing this modern art museum since first seeing pictures of it in a textbook back in high school. It was a pretty impressive building and a bold move architecturally, considering the departure from the classic French style of the city.
We had dinner with my man CURVE and his girl the night before they headed back to the states and he told us that Nike Air Maxes were based off the design of the Pompidou. It kinda sounded far fetched, but then he dug up this video.
To start the last leg of the festival in Bordeaux, we had three separate gallery shows open on the same night.
Mark Jenkins and Erell teamed up for a dope show at Eponyme Gallery.
Masagon had a cool solo show at Ilka Bree Gallery with a bunch of his hand sewn clothes and hats/helmets he made for a class of French kids back in Royan.
I was with Evan Roth, Benjamin Gaulon, Paul Notzold, Chris Surgue and Theo Watson at Cortex Athletico. Since my spray paint 3D experiment never panned out, Chris and Evan came up with a solution to use the 3D glasses I had with their GML, as well as capturing me catching paint and marker tags on 3D grid paper. You could watch the animations or check out the original tags all in 3D.
This morning Ruskig and I taught a class of non-english speaking “les enfants” how to paint graffiti. He focused on painting individual eyes with the 11-year-olds. Me and the 7-year-olds rocked an old school production. I let them go hog wild, so I’m pretty sure they had a lot of fun. Except for the one girl who sprayed herself in the face. But she was ok and got back to painting.
I’m sure I will be permanently banned from that town.
