One Drawing A Day Takes The Doctor Away - 2009 by Mrzyk and Moriceau

FBC! got a great present in the mail yesterday, in advance of Christmas: Petra Mrzyk and Jean-François Moriceau's 2009 Ephéméride, a daily calendar where every day is illustrated by a drawing. It's gorgeous, and you should consider it an artist book. Here are a few pics. One caveat: the glue is very strong, so separate each leaf very carefully or you risk damaging some of the drawings. It's an inexpensive daily calendar, but since it's an art edition, be careful with the paper cutter! If you can't afford it, you can see the drawings here, and if you're in Paris before January 10 you can go see them in person at the gallery Air de Paris (the picture of the gallery is lifted from their website) and maybe buy one real drawing (only in the 3 figures, if you're asking) while you're at it.

Petra and Jean-Francois graciously sent me a few drawings, here they are. Enjoy!

Shameless self-reference

Talking to one of my former colleagues on Tuesday about how bloggers in LA are attuned to what's going on in museums, I was suddenly reminded of this great review of a show I had curated last year. I re-visited the post this week (which demanded about 30 seconds of Googling) and I'm linking to the Things n' Stuff blog. As you can see this young lady is into art and food. She is apparently going to a Ph. D. program, where I sure hope her professors won't brainwash her great qualities of observations to oblivion. Anyway, if reviewers in Artforum and Frieze were writing like this, we would have a better idea of what the shows reviewed are about. Keep on the good work, lady!
