THeo Mercier's Le Solitaire 2010 aka Spaghetti Monster in Lille3000 Fantastic Expo
Dear Shaded Viewers,
Today Valentin Jardinier Almodovar and I took our first field trip together to Lille to see Theo Mercier's exhibition at Tripostal. I've been in love with Spaghetti monster for a few years now, well, ever since I saw him at the Modern Museum in Paris. Looking at this big, sweet monster from the back on that little school chair makes me melt. It's not exactly the same response from hanging out with the red smoking skeleton, but that was fun as well, just not the same emotion.
All the skeletons against the wall were carved out of horse bones.

Behind the skinless horse you can see the 2 boxes like remains from an archeological dig
Only Theo would think of giving vases teeth

Maybe if you keep smoking this is what you will end up looking like?
Later,

If you take the train to Lille, about 1 hour from Paris, Tripostal, where the exhibition is, is literally around the corner from the train station. Well worth the visit. On until 13 January.
