On my way back home yesterday I saw a little silhouetto of a man (scaramouche, scaramouche!) in the middle of a garden along the rue de l'Amiral Coligny, near the Place du Louvre. I stopped right away and found out he was part of a temporary art exhibit by Italian artist Carla Milesi called "La promenade des amoureux" (the lovers walk). In fact there was not one silhouetto but plenty. I check on the artist's website and I also found out that they were made of... concrete. Very creative. To be seen until April 20,2009.
But can he do the fandango?
ReplyDeleteThis is the sort of stuff I love about Paris. (That, and everything else.) This gent seems nice enough!
I was going to ask what he was made out of, because surely cardboard wouldn't stand up to the elements! ;D
ReplyDeleteI just checked out the link and, gosh, what a nice little jardin!
ReplyDeleteHe's just a poor boy from a poor family
ReplyDeleteSpare him his life from this monstrosity
.... talking of which, I'm not so keen on this piece of art. I prefer the song, but it's a great shot as ever, Eric.
I rather like the black silhouette of the one in the background, Eric.
ReplyDeleteoh I do like this Eric! :)
ReplyDeleteThunderbolt and lightning, very, very frighting ME!
ReplyDeleteI would have thought concrete would be brittle when this thin. Interesting.
Easy come, easy go, USelaine.
ReplyDeleteIs this Galileo and Figaro? I like these sculptures; I would not have guessed they were concrete. There's so much green in Paris already!
ReplyDeleteMama mia! Maybe it's Beelzebub. I think these sculptures—and this photo of them—are magnifico. (And is this not the street that leads down to the place on the quai where the PDP pique-nique takes place (and where I will not be, boo-hoo)?
ReplyDeleteCongrats, GF Suzy!
Ah, Alexa, vous avez raison, it is near the picnic site, and that was the first thing that popped into my mind.
ReplyDeleteThe concrete sculptures are creative and interesting.
I love all these temporary exhibits that always takes place around Paris, it really add something to everyday life for the people who lives in the city, and for the rest of us just visiting.
ReplyDeleteThis one sounds very romantic and I think it's funny the sculptures are made of concrete.
BTW talking about the picnic site, where will it take place this year, Eric ????
I'm not sure I'll have internet access when I come to Paris, so I'll have to know the place a little early, could that be possible ?
Mamma mia, mamma mia Figaro -- magnifico!
ReplyDeleteSpectacular! I love that you could just stop (or perhaps you were walking?) - I've passed good things in Menton sometimes and by the time I've found somewhere to park, the moment has gone. Obviously I'm not talking about art works but 'moments.' I love your 'eye' Eric and all the beautiful and interesting things you show us in Paris.
ReplyDeleteGood to see that a lot of us have the same musical references ;-))
ReplyDeleteGood concert memories...
Also, as a supplier of the concrete industry, I'm always amazed by what artists can do with it. And this work of Carla Milesi is particularly interesting.
Beezlebub has a devil put aside
ReplyDeletefor me
for me
for me...................
He probably does too! ;)
For meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
ReplyDeletedundundundundur.......!
We all clearly love this song.
So you think you can stop me and spit in my eye
ReplyDeleteSo you think you can love me and leave me to die
Ohhhh baaaaby, can't do this to me baby
Just gotta get out-just gotta get right out of here.
Great song. One of my regrets is that I didn't see Queen live while Freddie was alive.
Me too Sue. Not just a great musician but a wonderful, theatrical showman.
ReplyDeleteSo where's your blog then Sue? Come on, I've had enough of that black writing! ;)
ReplyDeletelol Lynn. I REALLY will get around to it. As you know, my life has been a wee bit hectic lately, but I really want to do it. I know I will find enough material about Whitstable to blog about. Leave it with me......... ;)
ReplyDeleteNothing really matters, Anyone can see,
ReplyDeleteNothing really matters,
Nothing really matters to me...
I'm turning on my ipod, I have a sudden need to listen to Bohemian Rhapsody now.
I wonder if HM The Queen listens Queen on her ipod too.
Where IS everybody? Hellooooo........
ReplyDeleteI never cease to be amazed by the fact that there is something beautiful and/or interesting to see virtually everywhere one goes in Paris. Like Mme. Benaut, I rather like the silhouette in the background as well.
ReplyDeleteThunderbolt and lightning!!!
ReplyDeleteMissed this by inches yesterday as I was showing a friend on vacation around. I guess I will go back to see this on Monday as it looks not frightening, indeed, but exciting.Magnifica!!
Oh yes Monica it's well documented that Her Majesty likes a bop to Freddie and I wouldn't mind betting Prince Phillip dresses up to do the hoovering (tongue firmly in cheek; mine, that is).
ReplyDeleteYooooooo Hoooooo Suuuuuuue, over here in the corner!
ReplyDeleteExcellent - that's Paris! I'll definitely be checking this one out. Don't mind if I steal some of your ideas, do you?!! ;-)
