Pedro Reyes' Empire Of Signs

If you've ever suffered through the underlit wastes of Hotel Costes then you know what this room feels like

"I really like it when people don't necessarily have the right stuff in their homes. I like errors; its what shows personality. When everything is perfect it's called "the tastes of the times" and I find it terrifying. I like the bad moments in life or bad moments with family which put you where you should be and not where you think you should be. Even when one has acquired good taste , its good to keep the memory of a time when you didn't have any. The more taste you have, the more you should let yourself not have any , and to assume and create mistakes"

Jacques Garcia to John Armleder and Nicholas Trembley in Self-Service#29

TI's art tour in Paris next week is jam packed with activity. I'd like to thank curator Simon Guzylack for his kind invitation to the vernissage. Dashing there straight off the plane on Saturday! More details after the jump

Jeremy Deller's new "carte blanche" exhibit at Palais de Tokyo is rich with promise

Tobias Madison's: Yes I Can: 2008

TI can't afford, right this minute a Lucio Fontana slash painting but he can dream about the latest pieces by Tobias Madison, whose solo show "Yes I Can" shows at the agnes b's Galarie du Jour until July 19th in Paris. Its a very clever collection of ideas ranging from photography to installations.

Post Wimbledon...Pre-US Open...TI lives for this installation !

Tatiana Trouve at the Pompidou is crucial to see !

TI recommends that the fashion flock as they migrate through Paris for the Men's shows and the Coutures that they make a stop-off at the Pompidou to cruise Tatiana Trouve's new show. Trouvé's work has been described as "site-specific constructions of mundane objects, plexiglass, metal, wood, drawings and sculptures recalls the cold halls of bureaucracy, the fitness studios, hairdresser salons, cloak rooms or torture chambers." TI's antennae just stood up on high!
