MONUMENTA 2008 = Richard Serra

Each year the MONUMENTA show invites a leading artist to engage with the monumental nave of the Grand Palais through the creation of a series of new works. After Anselm Kiefer in 2007, Richard Serra takes up the MONUMENTA challenge, from May 7 to June 15, 2008.
(oh and check out my post from last year*s Monumenta)

The steel texture is a perfect background to pose for nonsensical photos

    I am Cedric, discoverer of things that would go unnoticed in the streets of Paris, historic haven of fashionistas and city of lights ('lights' as in 'enlightenment', not street lights).
    But seriously: I'm an expat from Luxembourg (the country, not the garden), living in the center of Paris (hence 'Paris 2nd arrondissement'), and currenlty studying architectural history...
