Nike Stages exhibition at Emmanuel Perrotin

17 July 2009

In Paris for a couple of days, and attended the Stages exhibition launch at Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin last night. Nike asked an impressive roster of artists to create or donate pieces to Lance Armstrong’s Livestrong charity. Lots of good work, but my favorite was Tom Sachs‘ Lance’s TequilaBike For Girls:

There was also a new piece from one of my favorite artists, Ed Ruscha:

The launch brought together a lot of people from quite a few different circles. I saw my bike polo and messenger friends mix with art collectors from all around the world, with some music and fashion people thrown in there.

Nice to see Hiroshi Fujiwara again, and as usual Julien Cahn was here connecting everyone:
