Bonjour tout le monde.

Mon projet  de luminaire prend forme doucement mais surement. 
J'organise ma 1er expo le 24 novembre - 1 décembre à la galerie: 

GALERIE GOUTTE DE TERRE

46 Rue Godefroy Cavaignac 

75011 Paris

France

Quand Aziyadé rencontre le Chatz'ailé, c'est l'histoire de deux univers qui se croisent, le temps d'un moment de vie, le temps d'une exposition.

Amies dans la vie, Aziyadé et Sonia ont choisi de mêler leurs envies et leur savoir faire. De cette rencontre, va naitre une série d'objets insolites, reflets de leur personnalité.

Aziyadé a choisi la lumière, et ce qui l'entoure, comme mode d'expression. Designer franco-togolaise, son univers nous invite à l'évasion. Couleurs et graphismes de contrées lointaines entrent dans la maison, révèlent l'africanité qui sommeille en nous ; le voyage peut commencer...

Le terrain de jeu de Sonia s'inscrit d'avantage dans l'univers du rêve, où mobiles et doudous viennent peupler notre intimité. Une étoile porte bonheur près du c½ur, un nuage, des gouttes de pluie, un bestiaire imaginaire...
le Chatz'ailé nous introduit dans un monde léger et onirique, où la couleur vient se mêler à la poésie. J'espère vous voir nombreux au vernissage le 24 novembre à 18h30. 

Ma boutique en ligne est toujours en développement mais tout de même visible sur  www.byaziyade.com

200 rings exhibition starting this week!

The 4th edition of the 200 rings exhibition with 20 creators' rings at your disposal for 14 days starting from the 2nd of June. Come along this Friday on the 3rd of June for the Vernissage/Opening starting from 6pm with drinks and live music to boot. The french tend to start their opening the day AFTER the actual opening of the show... don't ask me why.
Address below:

My next Expovente at T-mode

If you're in town(Paris of course don't be silly) on the weekend of the 26th, 27th and the 28th of November come visit me at the marathon Creator's market, and I'll be sharing my space with Lunaticart from Etsy of course.

T-mode (Espace d'animator des blanc manteaux)
48 Rue vieille du temple
75004 Paris

Firstly I must say on a personal note, that I'm not a huge fan of the organizer's choice of images so far especially with these 2 twin Barbie dolls fondling each other in full glory, but hey beggers can't be choosers right. Ahmm but how is it representing tactile creations as such? It's somehow lacking some kind of intelligence just like the subjects you've chosen. There'll be 95 creators showcasing their finest handmade wares... not 95 naked chics possibly shopping or selling their "wares", oh great and it says 'Free entry' as well.

Thank goodness the saving grace is in it's location; at one of the most popular places for hipsters from around the world to visit in Paris, Marais. One can find in the immediate area of this venue are shops like Muji(one of my fave places to shop for non-label zen looking items, hence the name Muji in japanese means 'no label' indeed!), Corpus Cristie, COS(again my absolute fav!), Comptoir de cotoniere, yummmmy-to-die for falafel and cheese cake etc. It's nearer to St. Paul metro if you're thinking of coming, in a massive space that can fit up to fully clothed 100 creators.

Ok, pixel off now ciao ciao poodles

November up-coming collective Exposition/Exhibition

I'm so excited by this small exhibition which I'd be showcasing at Carmen Ragosta's Boutique together with the fabulous Paris based contemporary photographer Dana Cojbuc celebrating the start of the Annual photography fair Paris Photo, from November 18th to the 21st... though for now the advertising image is the only thing all 3 of us are working on together, nonetheless I'm chuffed. I find her work to be contemporary and surreal, capturing flighty moments, yet poetic, whimsical and smart... see the pics attached.

The exhibition will be located at Carmen Ragosta's boutique. She runs on tandem as a cook and designer at her boutique/restaurant NAPOLIPARIS, yes you heard me! It's also a vegetarian restaurant that operates on occasion just below in the cave of the boutique. Carmen has retained some of the old rustic Parisien fit-outs; floor tiles in the shop with my favorite 'Trompe l'oeil' pattern(see last pic), un-painted 100 yr old cast iron railings guiding one down towards the cave, open stoned walls on all sides with many stories to tell etc. All in all, just the perfect ensemble harmonizing her creations nicely in contrast with the rustic vintage interior; as well as her use of finest fabrics of silk, linen, velvet with small surprised details of subtle pleats and folds here and there... like icing on a cake. Chocolate or black forest cake... maybe both.

So go get yourself a plane or train ticket now if you're not based in Paris... the opening is on the 16th of November 2010, starting at 6pm. You'll have both your visual and oral sensory filled with joy as The Carmen Ragosta will be serving her Italian dishes to boot!
