I received this delicious book while in New York for the fairs and didn’t take the time to feature it on the site yet.
Elsa Sahal is a french artist whose ceramic work I truly love. I have been quite enthusiast by the progression of her work and this catalogue features a great amount of works which have never been shown before, along with an interview with the artist (both in french & english).
Her recent body of work were created while in residency at the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres – the famous french porcelain manufactory.
The catalogue was published in the occasion of the exhibition Sculptures at the Fondation d’entreprise Ricard from March 10 to April 5, 2008. It features fabulous shots of her work along with an interview with the artist.

While browsing the Fondation Ricard’s website, I stumbled upon this upcoming event in Paris. Le Lundi c’est théorie (Monday is Theory) will mark the closing conference and party with all of the authors who collaborated to Fresh Théorie, a compendium of essays on a variety of domains, from philosophy to cryptology, from the arts to pornography published by Léo Scheer.
I have only read the second opus – they have published three books so far – and have been craving for more since my last french trip. As the title denotes with its amusing use of french and english, this compilation is more playful than burdensome. The tone is light-hearted without turning vapid and some essays are truly creative.
