Pierre is having his own exhibition of drawings at Spiazzi, curated by Elena Xausa and Tankboys.
the opening : Tuesday, March the 2nd 2010, 7 PM Campo San Martino (Arsenale’s gate), Castello 3865, Venezia
We were supposed to go there but we couldn’t because of the storm in France. No new books from Venice.

You have an extra book you’d like to send me, and receive this one ?
Please send me your proposition to lvecten (at) gmail.com before friday...

I collect Blind Spot, since its 6th issue. This is a must-buy, and it’s quite difficult to find it here, in Paris.
I bought it at Agora Presse, in Le Marais for 34 euros (US price is $18 = 13 euros)
This issue is a little different, showing more photographers than usual.

Robert Adams, A Portrait in Landscapes
Published by Nazraeli,
bought through 5b4 book exchange
This is a signed copy
There was a Robert Adams exhibition, 2 years ago at Fondation Cartier, here in Paris.
I already have 2 books of him, but until now never owned a signed one !
