Catalogue : First Issue!

Info
CATALOGUE IS OUT ...
In January 2009 we set out to launch a free, online contemporary art magazine focussing on France and the UK, one that would reflect our personal experiences as a critic and a curator in transit between those two countries.
Nine months later, here is Catalogue! The first issue includes texts on Jesse Jones, Yinka Shonibare and Pierre Leguillon, a two-part reportage on the Paris area's dynamic art scene, an essay on the minimal tendencies of several young British artists, as well as reflections on the Turner Prize phenomenon and Francesco Manacorda's memories of the exhibition BMW - Black Market Worlds. Also in Catalogue no. 1 are Hou Hanru's 2009 exhibition picks and the inauguration of our Selected Pieces section, where guests are invited to choose one artwork they would like to promote, rethink or revive.
Next issue December 2009!
Coline Milliard & Florence Ostende, co-editors
