Went Paris over new year- really great city despite it being below 0 the entire time. went to the pompidou centre.I have wanted to go there for years and it really didnt disapoint. The builiding is incredible, and the Ron Arad exhibition as shown above was one of the best iv been to ever. It was so beautifully laid out and designed, and there were examples of so much of his work including sketches, models, and photos that were all nice to see. there was a book to go with the exhibit "no discipline"- which is all in french but was a comprehensive giude and beautifully laid out so I got a copy. have to brush up on my french!! there were films and slide shows, and also a wall covered in tubing with different products on display within the tubing. it was great.
Also in the permanent collection there was some nice art, and also some more great design. There was a section on Jean prouve that was lovely and there were some scale models of his that wernt included in the London Exhibition, and also a section dedicated to Sotsass. Some pictures are included below.
