C215 Studio Visit
If you going to Paris, visit Vitry-sur-Seine, or should we say C215-sur-Seine…
The city walls have been refreshed with colourful artworks by C215, showcasing images and portraits from his trips around the world as well as his daughter Nina. “I wanted to bring my travel memories back to my new hometown. People from all generations have been very supportive and local feedback has been overwelming.” mentioned Christian Guemy aka C215.
Wandering through the streets you can see an impressive and evergrowing display of works.
In the city center, you can contemplate this extremely detailed stencil of Chinatown, inspired by a picture from Logan Hicks. Show & Tell Gallery is hosting the first joint exhibition between Logan Hicks and C215 in Canada on 7th November. “Parallel Universe” will feature several collaborative works as well as pieces that are inspired by one another.
We were lucky to have a sneak pic into C215 studio before getting ready for an improvised live painting session.

Jeff Koons in Covent Garden, London
To celebrate the opening of Tate Modern’s major autumn exhibition Pop Life: Art in a Material World, a giant 53 foot (16 metre) helium balloon by Jeff Koons has been unveiled today at Covent Garden in London. It is the first time that Koons’s Rabbit balloon has been shown in the UK .

Jeff Koons created the large-scale silver balloon for Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade 2007 in New York. He modelled it on his iconic metre-high stainless steel sculpture Rabbit 1986. The silver rabbit was floated down the streets of Broadway through the crowds to celebrate the occasion. Both the original sculpture and a film of the balloon in Macy’s Day Parade are included in Pop Life: Art in a Material World.
Rabbit is on display in the South Hall, Market Building, Covent Garden, London.
Pop Life: Art in a Material World is on display at Tate Modern from 1 October – 17 January 2010.
