I've been wanting to update the blog all week long and now I just find time to do it.

Toulouse is currently running its International Art Festival and here are a few artists whose work I appreciated most:

• the collaborative work of Phillip Schulze, Christophe Giffard and Thomas Hatcher, in which soundscapes I appreciated to get lost; 
• the work of George Esksts, whose drawing with black and white lines of tapes I liked;
• the work of Claudia Mann, whose sculptures made of different materials reminded me of the "texture" pictures of derelict walls of sorts I like to take while walking around towns

I used to know this festival as Printemps de Septembre and enjoyed  going around those art galleries, museums and venues more than once. It is a shame that art galleries are no longer part of the festival - however, it is still a great opportunity to walk around the city and discover contemporary artists as well as visiting some of the most beautiful venues in Toulouse.
