Marziart Internationale Galerie -
Hamburg, DE Germany

During November 2009, Jean Claude Boutrouille will be exhibiting his work at MarziArt International Gallery in Hamburg. Peek into the Lighthouse Point garage of Jean Claude Boutrouille and it's like stepping into a studio. Walls and easels are stacked with paintings drying, canvases being primed or stored. Paint-encrusted saw horses support even more canvases. But Boutrouille is as new to the discipline as he is to Lighthouse Point. Jean Claude Boutrouille has been a Premiere Portfolio artist at absolutearts.com since

INSIDERS
Alice Cavender, France
If you're coming to Bordeaux in the next few months, there is a stop you absolutely have to make. If the thought hadn't crossed your mind, plan a trip to Bordeaux anyway, come and taste the local specialities and save a day for a peek at the INSIDERS exhibition showing at the Entrepot Laine until the 7th of February 2010. You won't be disappointed.
The latest co-venture between CAPC museum of contemporary art and arc en reve centre d'architecture is worth the trip. Centred on the uses, practices and know-how that have developed over the past decades, the imposing colonial warehouse is home to a colourful and well-thought-up selection of art and architectural works that bring the true concept of DIY to life.
The exhibition presents a new type of creation, that who has come to life following massive globalisation of our societies. It's a creation that goes beyond this globalisation, looking for new ways of expressing itself, bringing together such things as daily life practices and artistic approaches, handcraft and state-of-the-art technology, human beliefs and rituals and industrial production. It all comes down to the fact that everyone is or can be an artist, that the everyday production that Mankind has found to respond to pragmatic or more utopian ideas can be and is art. This new network of resources and creativity makes up the INSIDERS, those who think up a new way of creating art, architecture - a new way of life.
