Video: FIAC 2007 [Paris International Contemporary Art Fair] opening
As usual, two major French modern art awards: Duchamp Award and the Ricard Company Foundation Award were dedicated during the October "Modern Art Week" in Paris when lots of modern art fairs and events are taking a place.
The seventh Duchamp Award designed by modern art collectors association, ADIAF (Association for Intl. Distribution of French Art), in partnership with the Pompidou Center and the FIAC, has been dedicated to Tatiana Trouvé, born on 1968 in Italy and living in Paris (represented by Galerie Almine Rech).
The awards include 35,000 euros, publication of a catalog by the Pompidou Center and privilege to expose her works for two months in L'Espace 315 in the Beaubourg on Spring 2008.
The Ricard Company Foundation Award is dedicated by a collectors panel to two artists from Marseille, Christophe Berdaguer (born on 1968) and Mary Péjus (born on 1969) (represented by Galerie Martine Aboucaya) for their installation Dreamland / Disappear Here (2007).
Purchased for 15,000 euros, it will be offered to the Pompidou Center, which will exhibit this sculpture in its permanent collection. Until November 17, 2007, this piece will be exposed at the Foundation Ricard, 12, rue Boissy d'Anglas as part of the exhibition "Drift" (designed by Mathieu Mercier).

FIAC 2007 : OCTOBER 18th – OCTOBER 22th 2007
Absolutely Fabulous Paris Fashion Week Frenzy
The highest priest of French fashion TV shows from Canal + , Mademoiselle Agnès (L) and moi(R)
Entrance to the Petit Palais today, before the runway presentation by Requiem The Fashion (same as Aquagym, for instance), seems to be an exclusive woman's religion : you should see today those worried and deadly-serious faces of young anorexic fashionistas, freelance fashion journalists and frantic garment buyers in love with their jobs, before the runway presentation by Requiem (a label by Raffaele Boriello and Julien Desselle) !
Are they gonna manage, after an hour of waiting and all that humiliation from the security guards, to finally enter the temple of the immortal frivolity and bubble consumerism ?
I was amused like being on an Absolutely Fabulous set and curious about the outcome like an atheist in a crowed of the fanatical believers.
Watch a part of an Absolutely Fabulous episode below, you will LOL :/

Advertising has these people chasing cars and clothes they don't need.
Generations have been working in jobs they hate, just so they can buy what they don't really need.
We have to show these men and women freedom by enslaving them, and show their courage by frightening them." Chuck Palahniuk , FIGHT CLUB
