25th of May
I got onto the Eurostar and when to Paris for 5 days. I have been invited for a long time now to visit a school friend Vane, who is a diplomat at the Embassy of Macedonia in Paris.
I when with the intention to visit Galleries and create possible contacts, also myself and Vane have been discussing the possibility of using the Embassy space, which is a very old and beautiful building, as an exhibition space.
In spite of the weather I had an amazing time, I love Paris anyway is such an amazing city with so much to see and do, you never get bored!
I visited many interesting galleries, especially I liked the area of Marais in the 3e Arrondissement. I was very impressed by Palace de Tokyo http://www.palaisdetokyo.com/fo3/low/programme/ and the Le Plateau, Frac ile-de-France http://www.fracidf-leplateau.com/en/index.html
The last night in Paris I met an artist Lena Andonova, friend of Vane’s. Lena is a very nice young artist who is living and working in Paris, originally comes form Macedonia from Negotino which is 10km from my birth town Kavadarci. She is also working part time at the Palaise de Tokyo.
All three of us when to an opening at L’equipe de la Galerie, which is only few kilometers outside Paris, a very interesting publicly funded gallery that works closely with Palace de Tokyo. Here we met another artist that Lena collaborates with Stephani Hab.
