During the winter holiday, I went to Paris, France for a month with my roommate and fellow design student. Needless to say we had a blast. We took the first week to kind take everthing in and what not and soon after submerged ourselves into the diverse art culture available to us. The first museum we visited was La Cinémathèque française. The exhibition going on at the time couldn’t have been more perfect for my first visit. It was called Brune/Blonde and showcased a collection of photography, video, painting, and performance art. It’s main focus was on film along with the actresses involved who rocked their memorable blonde or brunette locks. Red heads were in the picture too of course but no so much in the title (?) I remember walking in and being greeted with a video of a woman running through this subway, quite 70′s styles. This video reoccured throughout the entire exhibtion which was kind of cool. They had everything from andy warhol and vintage elle magazine covers to marina abramovic. I also came across an artist called Camille Henrot who I had never heard of but was very intruiged by one her pieces called “Courage Mon Amour”
