Point d'ironie #63 - Claude Lévêque
We are delighted to let you know that point d'ironie 63 by French artist Claude Lévêque is out now.
It’s a very poetic proposition, a repetition of two swans…
"The signs of the days, shifts and zigzags of the soul. Scissors and clouds, scissors and white mists. On the throat, rust and coal. Swans gliding with the current reflected endlessly on folding mirrors, signs of the days lengthening, late June. The powdery smell of fireworks combines fantasy and nonchalance over the water. »
It's the second issue designed by this artist (issue n°10 in January 99).
It should reach the stores in France and abroad in a few weeks.

The schooner Tara is in London, focusing on microplastics on the Thames
10 rivers will be studied by the Tara Ocean Foundation to understand the origins on land of plastic pollution in the oceans. Objectives? Where does plastic waste originate? How does it arrive in the Ocean? Where should we concentrate our efforts to stop the flow of this waste? What impacts do plastics have on marine biodiversity? Recent estimates find that 80% of plastic waste found at sea originates on land. The Tara Ocean Foundation has been involved in this research since 2010. Now it is urgent to explore and identify the flux of plastic waste from land to sea in order to stop it. The upcoming Mission Microplastics 2019 — with the CNRS in charge of scientific coordination — will take the schooner Tara through several regions in Europe for 6 months, exploring 10 major European rivers. The Thames is the first river studied by the scientists. Tara will be docked in Sint Katharin’s Marina from the 11th to the 13rd of June 2019.
Flowers, MARTIN PARR
On the occasion of the Parcours Saint-Germain whose theme for the 2019 edition is La Fleur de l’Art, agnès b. has the pleasure to show works by Martin Parr, an artist she was one of the first to show in her gallery, the galerie du Jour and which photographs are also in her collection.
Among the themes dear to the British photographer are food, tourism, couples scenes… but also flowers…
In 2001, agnès wrote: “It was during 2 to 3 years that Martin Parr showed me this work on flowers. The flowers in life, the “consolation” flowers to make it perhaps more cheerful?” At the time, agnès had even made a small book that will be available in the exhibition!
