What a big day! With our visit to Item still firing our imaginations, Ron and I hopped a train to Marseille to visit our very dear friend Claire. Claire met us at Cafe Danaides with a group of old friends and we made a plan to see San Francisco band, Lords of Altamont, who were coincidentally playing that night at l’Embobineuse a cool punk rock watering-hole. Bonus, Pakito Bolino of Le Dernier Cri – the masterful silkscreen printer, film-maker and book publisher was showing new works at the club too! Now that is timing.
The festivities opened with anarchic rockers Daniel Burros:
Lords of Altamont. Keyboard went on the blink – so they rocked out while Ron and I supplied fresh beers…
Pakito Bolino, me and Ron
Next day Claire and Indra picked us up to go to Danielle Jacqui’s studio, then on to Danielle’s home for a delicious home-cooked dinner. Danielle has been incredibly prolific in the years we have missed visiting with her. She is in the process of making a monumental work of ceramic art in pieces which will be constructed into an enormous building in a park outside Marseille in the village of Auberge. The pieces are assembled on the floor and numbered, packed away to make room for the next huge outpouring of amazing art! Danielle is the most inspiring artist! The picture below represents a fraction of the total, monumental work of art, all created over a two year period. (Click image to see larger) Unbelievable!
Our little tradition – when visiting Danielle – is that we bring dessert…
Danielle’s beautiful works on paper
Danielle sews these most imaginative dolls and writes beautiful poems – there is no end to her creativity!
Thank you Danielle for such a delicious dinner and deeply inspiring visit! Your art is hanging on my wall in my studio to guide me!

And after all this we went swimming from the rocky coast at Cassis, had a light meal and a walk home past some graffiti to Claire’s.
Alexandre D’Huy and I broke away from The Original Sticker Story at rue Ternaux, for a beer in the afternoon at Les Nuns. I wanted to show him the string that was probably still hanging in Les Nuns, from 2004 the night we met. We arrived there and sure enough the string Ron and I put up at Les Nuns to hang posters from was still there. David, the bartender from Au Petit Garage, right down the street was stopping by Les Nuns to talk to a friend, and invited us over to Au Petit Garage for a drink. And wouldn’t you know it, there was the poster for The Art of Modern Rock opening that Ron and me and Lindsey Kuhn hung on the wall from five years ago.
David asked me and Alex if we would like to do a show the following night. And of course, the answer was YES! We had a great time! Lots of old friends showed for the fun. Was great to see Olivier Votelet and wife Marion and all the cool folks that inhabit the 11th of Paris. Thanks David! Hope to come back again real soon.
The day after making the show with Lena at Sesame, Ron and I met Alexanmdre D’Huy to set up a spontaneous show at a small storefront in the 11th arrondisement of Paris, called Mycroft, 13 rue Ternaux. Alex and his friend Silvio Magaglio set the show up. The idea was to completely sticker the store window, which drove a lot of the locals pretty insane. We hung posters along with sticker sheets inside. The show ran from July 2 until July 10. Here’s some pictures of setting up and throwing a great party for the opening.
