Paris France

'Unscrolling at the intersection of high art, drama and sex ... brings a pair of legends to vibrant life.' –Film JournalIn 1913 Coco Chanel attended the revolutionary performance of Igor Stravinsky's 'The Rite of Spring,' which caused a near riot. Years later, after she became rich, respected and successful, Coco met Igor again – now a penniless refugee living in exile in Paris after the Russian Revolution. The attraction between them was immediate and electric. Thus begins the scandalous, passionate love affair between these creative giants, two of the century's most iconic figures. Recalling the lush style of Kubrick, the cinematography is astonishingly beautiful, as is the music. With subtitles.

Kate Shepherd is best known for large, vertical, mostly monochrome paintings in hi-gloss enamel on wooden panels. Using intense colors, delicate lines, and multiple perspectives, she suggests structures and patterns - wallpaper, steps, lace, a cage, for example - that create illusionary three-dimensional space. Her work in the former dining room of the Phillips house incorporates painting and sculpture and focuses on architectural details. Shepherd earned a BA from Oberlin College in Ohio and an MFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York City, where she lives and works. She has had numerous solo exhibitions and her work is featured in the collections of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France in Paris, the Detroit Institute of Arts, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Part of Intersections, in which artists respond to art and spaces in the Phillips with projects of their own.

Questa importantissima mostra retrospettiva, che il MACA - Museo Arte Contemporanea Acri ospiterà dal 3 luglio al 26 settembre 2010, vuole essere un percorso attraverso tutta l’opera di Joël Stein – il padre e l’artista più rappresentativo dell’ arte cinetica, il protagonista di un’esperienza fondamentale nell’intensa vivacità creativa della seconda metà del XX secolo. Assorbito dal fervore culturale e artistico dell’ambiente parigino, l’artista porta avanti una personale ricerca che lo vede partecipare, nel 1960, alla fondazione del “Groupe Motus”, a cui succederà il “Centre de Recherche d’Art Visuel”, che diventerà poi il “Groupe de Recherche d’Art Visual” (GRAV), del quale sarà uno dei più incisivi teorici. Un'opera molteplice nelle sue forme perché, se Joël Stein inizia con la pittura e l'incisione, molto presto si mostrerà curioso di altri modi di espressione: oggetti manipolabili, costruzione di scatole luminose, triedri o caleidoscopi, effetti speciali di cinema per Henri-Georges Clouzot e per i servizi di ricerca dell'ORTF ( l'Ente Radiotelevisivo Francese), proiezioni di immagini animate a partire da un fascio laser, senza dimenticare la scultura con tecniche diverse, prove di uno spirito totalmente libero. Poco incline a seguire dei maestri, Stein attribuisce molto presto un'importanza capitale al fattore visivo. Joël Stein è forse anzitutto un ricercatore, un ricercatore preoccupato di comprendere e di mettere alla prova il funzionamento della visione in rapporto con la percezione dei colori o con quella delle forme quando si intrecciano, si sfalsano o sono messe in movimento; preoccupato anche di cogliere la destabilizzazione delle forme e dei colori attraverso il gioco delle giustapposizioni, il gioco delle ombre o delle diffrazioni, altrettanti effetti che possono essere provocati, amplificati e sconvolti con l'uso della luce laser e di specchi. Le immagini e le opere instabili di Joël Stein – di cui in mostra saranno presentati numerosissimi esempi che ripercorrono tutta l’esperienza creativa dell’artista: dalle Pitture programmate su sistemi matematici ai Labirinti; le Pitture in progressione cromatica; gli Intrecci, le Macchine, i Laser; gli Slittamenti; fino alle Ambiguità di lettura –, richiedono sempre un occhio responsabile e partecipe che attribuisca loro una forma stabile anche se momentanea e contingente, che animi il movimento virtuale che le scuote, che attualizzi alcune delle loro infinite potenziali variazioni. Solo all'interno di questa relazione interattiva si costruisce l'immagine in un rimando reciproco e incessante di stabilità, giocato fra l'occhio e la realtà visiva, fra il soggetto e l'oggetto, fra l'uomo e il mondo. Ecco allora la necessità, come dice Stein, non tanto di spiegare i risultati ottenuti con la ricerca artistica ma di "moltiplicare le esperienze", affinché l'instabilità intrinseca del mondo si stabilizzi attraverso il nostro sguardo, la sua virtualità si attualizzi in una delle sue infinite forme attraverso noi.

I am going on a trip to spain in august for vacation. I am also planning to go to another country since they are pretty small or you can travel easily to. I am thinking Portugal or France. I don't know which one. With my Prior knowledge i find France more interesting. If i decide to go to France i will go to Paris or Monaco/Nice Cote d azur. Im thirteen years old so i don't know much about traveling (il be with my parent of course). So i want to know what city doesn't have to many things for adults that i cant go to. I also need help finding out what transportation to take. I was comparing bus, train, and plane prices and i figured out the plane and train were the most expensive. Im not positive about this though, so my question for this part is....What is the best way to travel to Paris from Spain, Possibly MAdrid or Barcelona.

Answer: Depending on how long you are going for, I would highly recommend flying. Trains can be incredibly expensive, and bus rides are long and tedious. You'll have more time at each location if you fly. I would recommend checking out low budget airlines like RyanAir, Vueling (it's based out of Spain), and EasyJet. Keep in mind that some lower budget airlines have baggage restrictions, so you won't be able to pack a lot. I think Vueling's restrictions are pretty closer to the norm at 50lbs, but the lower budget ones are usually between 12-20kg. Spain is amazing. You will find so much to do there, and many tourist things can be done at little to no cost. For example, in Barcelona you can see the Magic Fountains at Montjuic, the outside of Sagrada Familia, Parc Guell, La Ramblas, and the Gothic Quarter all for free. There are also some amazing walking tours you can do in Barcelona with just a guidebook you pick up (try Lonely Planet's). If you're 13, do not go to Monaco. Honestly, I was 20 years old when I first went there and there is nothing to do. It has some beautiful views on the drive up at night, but you will most certainly be bored with that destination. I wouldn't even consider it as an option (it is also very pricey). The Monaco casino, or Monte Carlo is not even worth seeing-- other than the fancy cars parked outside. I was not impressed. I think you will find more to do in Paris, in my opinion. If you're into art, they have some of the best museums and galleries in the world. You could spend days scouring the Louvre. Of course, the eiffel tower at night is magical. You'll also love the street vendors selling fresh sandwiches, good food, and the quaint streets that make up Paris. They have some neat boat ride tours down the Seine and plenty of photo opportunities. My guess is you'll make a lot better memories here than in a small place like Nice or Monaco. Nice is nice, but not worth choosing over Paris.

I'm going to Paris in December for my best friend's 18th birthday and one of the nights she wants to go clubbing but the problem is I'll still be 17. I just wondered if there are any clubs etc that you don't have to be 18 to go in?

Answer: Im 17 and i too will be going to france soon. To get into clubs i know you have to be 18, however, i have been doing a lot of research and asking french people a lot of questions, and they tell me that if you look 18, act respectful and dress nice then you wil not be asked for ID. Im hoping to get into clubs qnd buy alcohol, lets hope it works out for the both of us!

My husband and I are driving from Barcelona to London next week, and we have 2 or 3 days to spend in France on the way. We're looking for interesting places to stop between Montpellier and Calais, especially the quieter, lesser known places (we've been to Paris quite a lot already), maybe with beautiful scenery, or nice food, or interesting buildings or history. Any tips would be really appreciated! Thanks!

Answer: It is a very long way from Montpellier to Calais. At this time of the year, the whole of France is full of foreign tourists, let alone French people on their annual holidays, so even the quieter places will be busy. However since you have a car, I would suggest you stop in the Loire Valley, where the most wonderful castles and gardens are open to the public. When we do that journey (one of my brothers lives near Montpellier) be break off the journey for two nights at the Auberge du bon Laboureur et Chateau at Chenonceau. The village is busy during the day, as it has one of the most stunning castles sitting astride a river, but since you are visiting other places as well it does not matter, and when the castle gates close it becomes very quiet. There is a peaceful garden to sit out in, and the food there is glorious. It may be fully booked up already at such short notice, of course. They do speak English, by the way. I would recommend Chambord, Cheverny, Azay-le-Rideau, and the stunning gardens at the chateau de Villandry, but you can look at others on here: the photos are excellent and there is a map at the bottom of the article. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loire_Valley Bon voyage, and safe journey!

For the rich people who can afford it.

Answer: No.

PARIS (AP)—Lance Armstrong and his RadioShack team have been forced to change unofficial jerseys honoring cancer patients before starting the final stage of the Tour de France. Tour de France wont let him and his team honor all those with cancer, what you think?

Answer: They didn't bother to register these jerseys with the race organization ahead of time. If they had, there would have been no problem. This has nothing to do with honouring people living with cancer, this has to do with people who didn't bother to follow rules clearly set out. Ther could have used their usual colour jerseys with the number 28 on the back but instead chose to try to push the officials into changing the rules just for them, pretty arrogant.

Hi, in few weeks I'm going to travel to Paris,France. I'm quite excited and can't wait to see all those amazing places in Paris ;) So about my question; I'm a 15 years old girl and as every girl of my age I really want to make some good both cloth and accessories shopping. Could you tell me some good stores? I'd be very happy if you don't suggest me something like Coco Chanel, Armani etc. I'm looking for affordable store such as; H&M, Claire's etc.(those are the only 2 stores I know in Paris =^^) I think there is also American Eagle, I'm not sure though...I'd also like if you could suggest me some nice French brands ;) Thank you ^^

Answer: The H&M in Paris is HUGE, like 5 floors. The Les Halles shopping centre also has a lot of really great shopping for teens. Some of the best places i found though to shop while in Paris were the random little shops lining every street, because let's face it you can shop at H&M all over north america.

I am going to France soon, and i know lots of the rivers have boat rides, but i was wondering which would be the best? - (most comfortable, best scenery) Thanks?

Answer: hello from France the best for showing Paris by the Seine river is the fly boats (bateaux mouche) see at this adress : http://www.bateaux-mouches.fr/en have a nice trip in Paris

i would want to go to Paris, France or Rome!!!!

Answer: I wanna go to Fresno then maybe Oakland.

I'm going to Paris in November.

Answer: If you are from the Philippines, as the version of Yahoo you used indicates, you will find Paris cold. It will be just above freezing in the nights, going up to about 10C in the days, that is just a little colder than a fridge in the night and a tiny bit warmer than the fridge in the day. Take layers of clothing, wear thin trousers under your normal trousers, a friend from Singapore always mentions that up to 6 layers of thin silk pajama pants do not show, and also wear several layers on your top half. For shopping, there are many shops all over the city. Which shops are best depends on your personal preference. It is like asking where the best place to shop in the Philippines is, without knowing whether I want cheap, design, art or crafts, and so on. Best search the older questions, and try the Travel France Paris section rather than Europe, Continental Other where this question was posted.
