One of our favorites, Australian artist Jonathan Zawada, has a new show up at Colette in Paris called Kindered Spirits. The show is a “collection of print works from Zawada that explore the value of the image in a disorienting world where visual culture is defined by an assortment of images out of context.” (via slamxhype)

You have the Portrait of the Artist’s Sister” (1921) by Alfred Courmes above, then “Portrait of the Artist’s Wife” (1932) by Jaro Hilbert, and then “Portrait of a Man, Unfinished or Tadeusz de Lempicka” (1928) by Tamara de Lempicka. We like them all.

Futura has a new exhibition, Futura 2012—Expansions, opening at Galerie Jerome de Noirmont in Paris on January 13, 2012. Something to look out for… (image (c)FUTURA 2000. Courtesy Galerie Jérôme de Noirmont.)
Heavy, heavy, heavy, and so so good. Dirty Beaches, one of the best musical acts to come around in years in our mind, perform the dark brooding rant of “Untitled” with handclaps, a saxophone, and haunting voice under a bridge in Paris.

We guess Spike Jonze, after his past few projects, is just more sensitive and in tune with youthful, nostalgic emotions than we ever gave him credit for. Designer Olympia Le-Tan and Spike teamed up for this film that premiered on Nowness, and is a stop-motion animation set in Paris’ famous Shakespeare and Company bookstore.
Here is a little summary: On a shelf in famed Parisian bookstore Shakespeare and Company, the star-crossed love story of a klutzy skeleton and his flame-haired amour plays out amidst Le-Tan’s illustrations of iconic first-edition book covers. “It’s such a beautiful and romantic place,” offers Le-Tan of the antiquarian bookstore. “The perfect setting for our story!” The project started after Jonze asked for a Catcher in the Rye embroidery to put on his wall and the plucky Le-Tan asked for a film in return. Enlisting French filmmaker Simon Cahn to co-direct, the team wrote the script between Los Angeles and Paris over a six month period, before working night and day animating the 3,000 pieces of felt Le-Tan had cut by hand.

If you happen to be in Paris, you should definitely check out one of the true originals in the international graffiti/mural/street art realm, MODE 2′s newest solo show at Galerie Issue. One of the true elegant pioneers. Who Sold the Soul? is up through November 12, catch a pre-Thanksgiving, expatriate experience.
Remember when we interviewed c215 on the site a few months back? We do. It was good. We like the France-based stencil artist, and like how he does stencils of his daughter to chronicle her coming of age. It is clever. This is a new electric box C215 did in Paris recently… you have to admit, he gets some great colors with his stencil work, some of the best you are going to see.
