El Anatsui

Palais de Tokyo's Triennale is the single most moving show I've seen all year .

As the July extravaganza of the Paris Men's Shows, as well as the next installment of The Coutures loom , I would suggest to all those converging fashion nomads that they go confront the blockbuster Palais de Tokyo Trianniale show, “Intense Proximité".

The current work of artist El Anatsui : Zebra Crossing: Jack Shainman Gallery

After the massive success of his showstopping work at the 52nd Venice Biennale, anticipation levels were at maximum for El Anatsui's "Zebra Crossing" show at the Jack Shainman Gallery in NY. That and the recent addition of his piece "Between Heavan and Earth" to the sculpture collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art made this a must-see show. Artist Jayson Keeling had an audience with El Anatsui while the Ghanian-born artist was in NY and here are his photographs that document the experience.
