Untitled Thursday

So yesterday was a busy day here. After working in the morning i took the Metro down to Montparnasse so check out the Oxfam shop there, thinking i might score some old clothes for some work i'm doing, but it turned out to be books only, so i left with a copy of Mavis Gallant's 'Varieties of Exile' instead.

Then i went for a walk through Montparnasse Cemetery, looking for potential material, just kinda wandering and taking pictures. Still thinking about clothes and memorials and things in that direction. It was fairly quiet there, not nearly as busy as Pere Lachaise so a better place to think and possibly work. Also the tombs and stones are more human scale so probably more suited to clothing/textiles.

Finally, i stopped in at the Cartier Foundation for the Ron Mueck show, which was fun. There was a good film showing his working process, in his small London studio where he makes these large scale figure sculptures. Unfortunately, no photography allowed inside  :(




Here's a link to Mueck's Wikipedia entry which has a few images. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Mueck
