My trip to Paris brought me to some incredible realizations. One, Parisians are crazy. Two, they know how to throw illegal parties. This particular event was entitled Zen Guerrilla and it took place in some farmlands 45 minutes outside of Nantes. We arrived in the afternoon; the circus tent had been erected earlier that morning. [...]

French artist Michel Blazy staged his Bouquet Final installation at a French medieval chapel with foam spewing forth from a metal structure that generates foam non-stop. It’s supposed to convey the message that art cannot be pickled and canned — it has to be experienced. Wonder if anyone skipped past through these skimpy Do-Not-Cross barriers [...]

Have you ever bought something at a thrift store or a yard sale and found something inside much more awesome than the item you actually paid for? Well, that’s just what happened to blogger and photography enthusiast Anton Orlov. According to Orlov’s blog, he opened up the Jumelle Belllieni stereoscopic camera he just purchased from an antique store and found negatives taken during World War I inside. Orlov developed the almost perfectly preserved negatives and discovered these beautiful rare images of the WWI French countryside.

I love the intervention of Mathieu Lehanneur on the St. Hilaire church in France. In many ways, this is a paradoxical project as most of the design doesn’t sit well with the faith of the environment. But Lehanneur manages to insert clever mineral architecture in reference to the topology of the place regardless. Sublime!

There are sperm-filled business cards. And there are cookie business cards. Finally, French creative agency Murmure has gone ahead to cast their business cards in stone. Beautiful stuff.

This is definitely my new theme. A subtle mix between country and electro; Pedro Winter meets Hank Snow. Some of the songs sound more like early Birdy Nam Nam. This is because this French band is composed of DMC’s guys, another guy from the very sweet hip hop band, Hocus Pocus, and the two others [...]

France privatizes an historically socialist service — phones — and look what happens. KITAYNS EVRAYWHAR! It doesn’t matter if you speak French or not, this commercial proves that before long, capitalism and socialism will both be dead and the furballs will rule over all.

‘Make post-it art not war’. That could be slogan of these French workers who are currently fighting an art battle on their office windows, using multicoloured sticky notes. What a cool idea. I wonder what their employers say about the waste of office materials, though.

I just returned from seeing Korkoro and I am a maelstrom of emotions. Its short, lush scenes tell a tense tale of gypsies in WWII France, but that narrative is drowned out by its intense cinematic poetry, with odes to running, joy, anxiety, nature, novelty, bewilderment, unfairness, kindness, and music that is in your bones [...]
