At the moment people are queuing to
Grand Palais to see a major Edward
Hopper exhibition about an American illustrator who became an artist, but
to me far more
impressive artists are Mircea Cantor
and Adel Abdessemed now showing in Centre
Pompidou until January 7th 2013.
A picture from Mircea
Cantor´s video Sic Transit Gloria Mundi, 2012.
Mircea Cantor, the winner of Prix Marcel Duchamp 2011,
adds poetical tradition and beauty to everything he does.

I am innocent, says the title of Adel
Abdessemed´s exhibition and means that we all are quilty. In the cruelty of our
world he shows that we are the world and the history, our´s are the barbed wire of
Quantanamo, the suffering Christ and the boats of illegal immigrants.
