A few things found and learned in Paris…
Early lesser known sculptures and installations from Paul Thek. Thek was a Fluxus/process artist (if you were to classify) during the 19960’s-70’s when he made his most infamous ‘Meat Pieces’ made of wax and plexi-glass, and ‘Tomb- Death of a Hippie’ ‘67, a plaster cast of the artist suited and booted in pink. His traveling installations in Germany, Switzerland, Sweden and Amsterdam were often poorly documented, more ritualistic in their construction, exhibition and habitation than anything else. A nomadic artist, Thek walks apart from the rest. I regret not buying the book.

Covers walls with newspaper and carefully paints out particular sections to create and expansive canvas of pale blue dotted with hovering isolated figures and shapes… Her exhibition at Deyrolle taxidermy shop in Paris is particularly quaint; videos online are worth a look.
