From the 29th of May to the 30th of June, Colette is hosting the exhibition "Until the End," where this year's theme is 'voyages around the world.' Several artists' photography documenting their travels will be shown along with "The Jack Kerouac Project," a clothing collection by Hogan. This clothing line reflects influences from the Beat Generation, indispensable to travelers that seek a free "on the road" spirit. A selection of new Beat books will be made available, such as "Beat" by Christopher Felver, which is a series of photos documenting personalities of the Beat Generation, and "Beat Bible" a 'photology,' retracing the complete history of the Beatniks.

The Galerie Magda Danysz presents Jeanne Verdoux and Kosta Kulundzic. Vernissage this Saturday, June 2nd.
Come discover parisian artist, Jeanne Verdoux's drawings and contemporary art pieces covering comical depictions of random people from everyday life. Through her body of work, Jeanne Verdoux explores human nature capturing the attitude of encountered strangers in a similar style to Shel Silverstein. I find the New Yorkers on the subway to be the most fun and interesting, as well as the original surfaces used.

On a brighter note, the Kadist art foundation presents a twenty-four hours screening of films (see programme) addressing the Armageddon including Omega Man (1971), The Day After (1983), and The Day of the Triffids (1962). In this series of films selected and presented by artist Walead Beshty, the disaster scenarios depicting the apocalyptic imaginary of the Cold War and the fear of a nuclear holocaust frequently stand as a metaphor of social change and, particularly, of the alienation of American urban and suburban condition of the 1960’s and 70’s.
