MISSNOT 55
ANGE DU PAVE
VENICE
Thursday October 1
Brandino Brandolini 's restaurant Naranzaria, by Rialto, with tables by Grand Canal and Bancogiro, is a stone throw away from picturesque fish market. Not to miss is Rosé Merlot, brut petillant, from his own nearby vineyard in Vistorta (Veneto). The Japanese-Brazilian chef prepares simple dishes built around fish dishes, sushi and sashimi, seaweed salads , as well as sublime pancakes filled with gorgonzola, and rustic bean dishes, fragrant with herbs, simply dressed with local olive oil. End meal with Tokay Asu (Hungary), similar to Sauternes, ducking in 'essi' - S-shaped biscuits from nearby island Burano.
Open from breakfast and serving food all through the day, by 11.00 pm the tiny bar and upstairs floor are the meeting place for the Venitian 'jeunesse dorée' .
Brandino's wife Marie sells her Murano glassware from her palazzo on the Grand Canal (also sold in exclusive boutiques, and Barneys in NY and Petersham Nurseries, London)

Nuit Blanche
First launched in 2002, Paris Nuit Blanche (White Night) has become a highly-anticipated annual celebration of all things art and culture in the city of light. Nuit Blanche sees countless Paris galleries, museums, city halls, and even swimming pools open their doors all night to visitors with free entry. Elaborate light installations, edgy performances, concerts, and unclassifiable happenings of all sorts await.
French urban artist JR's 28 Millimeters Women Are Heroes depict a train in Liberia, women lurking through windows. The piece wraps around Ile St Louis.

Anish Kapoor
RA
Courtyard: Tall Tree and the Eye, 2009
The steel structure, an arrangement of 76 shiny spheres which bubble up to the level of the surrounding Palladian buildings, is inspired by the words of the German poet Rainer Maria Rilke. 'It is a conjunction of images I have always loved in his Sonnets to Orpheus and this work is, in a way, a kind of eye which is reflecting images endlessly,' said Kapoor. Fifteen metres high, it has a look of weightlessness when viewed from the ground below.
Gallery: Shooting in a Corner, 2008-2009
The drama of the piece takes place in a space set apart,
a ritual arena in which a symbolic act of violence is allowed occur. A cannon is fired at twenty minutes intervals, the shells of red wax , each weighing nearly twenty pounds, travel at fifty miles per hour.
Svayambh (2007), occupies the five galleries of the rear enfilade, and result in two galleries beeing eclipsed so they cannot be entered. A vast block of red wax moves very slowly, almost imperceptibly, along tracks.
Hive (2009), built in a shipyard in Holland of Corten steel. Symmetrical and geometric in form it makes a transition from a plane to a volume.
EXHIBIT A (coming soon…)

SEIZURE
An Artangel/Jerwood Foundation collaboration was the result of a vast chemical process, furring-up a derelict council flat near Elephant & Castle with copper sulphate crystals, all pricipited by artist Roger Hiorns in 2008, in what is his most ambitious large-scale work to date. The piece has now seen him shortlisted for the Turner Prize 2009.

The artist’s working method draws from literature and music as well as certain art historical references from early Modernism, in particularly Surrealism. This is combined with a strong sense of process and an awareness of the potential authority and phenomenology of the art object. She typically produces small to medium scale amorphic constructions, which are often supported by and within more formal elements and structures. Often working with everyday materials such as plaster, wood, textiles, wire and linoleum, there is a particular sense of the domestic realm. This feeling is heightened by the use of found objects (for example carpets and lamps) and the more formal components that often act as makeshift shelf, table or wall.
Thea Djordjadze, born in 1971 in Tbilisi (Georgia), studied at the Art Academy Tbilisi, at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, and at the Staatliche Kunstakademie Düsseldorf with professors Dieter Krieg and Rosemarie Trockel, whose master student she became.

The inspiration:
'Whilst strolling around a Bulgarian market, a small, foldable basket caught our attention. Single slats were beaded on ropes to form two hinged surfaces, which could be transformed into a curved 3-dimensional object.
We improved this stunning mechanism, both technically and visually, to create a foldable lounge chair. When open, it straight identical slats form a spacious seating space of supreme comfort.
This simple design not only makes the chair highly practical, but also creates a sculptural object of outstanding aesthetic value, wether one or folded'

NEW MUSEUM
Opening October 14, The Museum of Everything , (set in an old dairy which later became the Mayfair Recording Studio), is London’s first and only public space dedicated to artists who create their work outside the eyes and ears of the art world.

In this inaugural exhibition, the museum has invited leading international artists, curators and figures to explore the connection with contemporary art.
Collaborators include: Ed Ruscha, Annette Messager, Eva Rothschild, Tal R, Jamie Shovlin, Bob & Roberta Smith, Richard Wentworth, Idris Khan, Arnulf Rainer, Ed Ruscha, Jockum Nordstrom, Klara Kristalova, Karin Mamma Andersson, Mark Titchner, Jarvis Cocker, Nick Cave and Anthony Hegarty amongst others.
The Museum opens October 14. Extended hours and special events throughout Frieze week include a talk by Serpentine co-director Hans Ulrich Obrist, the European Premiere of MAKE by filmmakers Scott Ogden and Malcolm Hearn and a screening Saturday 17 October
screening of Jarvis Cocker’s JOURNEYS INTO THE OUTSIDE.
Founder James Brett, and collaborator Tamara Corm, plan to open the museum until Xmas…
