Art in your home

I learned something very interesting the other night. I learned that nowadays its possible to host private art exhibitions right in the comfort of your own home. Granted it’s not a novel idea, since there have always been a great deal of exhibitions done in private homes but these exhibitions were rather limited to people who were either rich or famous or both with the corresponding grand homes. Now however thanks to the concept of PrivArt, ordinary folks like you or me can host an exhibition of art in the very comfort of our own homes. To be sure there must be the necessary space to present the art but this doesn’t anymore require massive space. If you want to participate in PrivArt, you get to chose the artist/s you want to exhibit, the time for the exhibition (whether at brunch, diner, evening soiree or weekend) and of course the friends you want to invite. In turn the PrivArt organizers arrange the event with the artist you have chosen. Those interested should get in touch with Marion --06.03.36.26.62 or marion.hislen@privart.fr


For the particular exhibition we attended, there were three young photographers on display. While all three were undeniably talented and showed interesting work, my particular favorite was that of Julien Taylor. His work is interesting for the way it utilizes digital photography to display his artistic vision. Essentially, for each project he works on, he takes hundreds of photos of each object from which he chooses those pictures that he will reassemble painstakingly to form a particular and coherent photo. Interestingly enough, Julien's educational background is that of a physicist which I suppose adds a precise element to his work. But what I found trully interesting about his work is the new perspective it gave to places and things we already know from everyday living. In addition there is dynamism to his photos that really make them stand out. He is an artist whose work surely bears watching.



Some examples of his work...





Believe it or not, there is only one model in this photo, just in various guises...
