The second I V Y paris at the Louvre expo such a great success! I loved how it all came together and the artists have many reasons to be proud of themselves for their talent, good humour and patience in making sure the show got on the road and the public were provided with a great exhibition which was a credit to us all. It was great to meet new and exciting talents who I hope will continue to enjoy their collaboration with IVY paris.

He was there, he showed up, he took the shot which in the case of photographer I.C. "Chuck" Rapoport, means some of the most iconic moments in post-War America and Europe caught on film. Some 14 prints of Rapoport's most famous works are on view at Jim Haynes famous atelier, beginning, 28 October in a show entitled "ICONS" - RSVP for the vernissage on Sunday 28th October.

Join an expected 5000 invitees this Sunday at Expatica's conference and experience Paris' contemporary art scene among international expatriate and French artists. RSVP.
Exhibiting in the famous Carrousel du Louvre, these talented young international artists are facing an extreme challenge – not only did they create new works of art worthy of exhibiting at the Louvre, but now they also must hang and perform their art in an open space within the museum’s ramparts, but without using any walls!
This year's group of international artists, from as far away as New York, Mexico, Chile and (closer to home), France, are creating art with a Parisian vision. Their new works include glowing photographic triptychs taken by artificial light in Paris’ hotels and metro stations, musical rhythms evoking far-away lands and Rembrandt-esque portraits in oils.
Why have these young talented artists come from all over the globe to start their ateliers in Paris? According to them, being in Paris is experiencing first hand l’art de vivre; here, a mosaic of international artists help make up this city’s vibrant artist character. With the city’s support and respect for art and culture, it’s location at the center point of Europe with a great transportation hub, and the glamour of the Parisian lifestyle, Paris is now as ever a network for artists from all over.
I V Y paris is has once again been invited to organise a one-day exhibit at the Louvre on Sunday October 14, 2007 - RSVP here. Our audience is 5000 people who are attending Expatica's conference on living in Paris, "I'm Not A Tourist". I V Y Paris arts network links emerging artists to help them meet, support and inspire each other. IVY paris enables you to easily find other Paris-based artists, writers, musicians, dancers and filmmakers.

After the Winter recess it seems safe to venture out and connect with the hordes of people who joined
I V Y paris expecting exhibitions, information and soirees. I'm going to make it up for you, I promise.
So thanks to Danielle Voirin, the first event of 2007 is scheduled for next Sunday.
Can't wait to see who turns up and what the year will bring. 2006 was full of surprises. the best part for me was the show at La Chapelle Saint Louis on the first day of Summer, I'll never forget it, we think there must have been 600 people there and as we ran out of glasses, set our artwork on fire and quaffed the Stormhoek wine it all came together in an A Team style fashion.
Like the best things, I V Y paris is constantly evolving, from a pipe dream, to an art show, to a gallery, to a Salon, to a nomadic travelling exhibition and sometimes, a really good old knees up. It's never boring but it won't be a repetition of last year. I've got some ideas up my sleeves but as ever, it depends on those who join in, appear in Paris (and just as soon disappear sadly) and the energy between who is around at a given moment.
It's good to be back.
Two nice articles were written about the I V Y paris show at the Louvre by Priscilla Lalisse on Bonjour Paris and Francis Powell.
By the way Priscilla, I am waiting with bated breath for your new project to be launched in the new year.........
It kind of goes well with my installation "Something is eating my soul".
