What's new since the last time?
I went to the Biennial of Contemporary Art in my city I grew swimming, my parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary, I participated in the Vende Globe...
Last Thursday, I had the privilege of attending a special tour of the contemporary art biennial in my town. So I went with work colleagues, a visit to the FRAC (Regional Fund for Contemporary Art). This special tour allowed us to see the exhibition for the Biennale but also to visit this new building. And it was just great!! Already in the mood, we went in the evening after closing the public. Then by all the places we visited. Finally, the works that we have seen.
I put a few photos and videos that I could see and enjoy.
First, my favorite: Jan Kempenaers, Spomenik. Pics fof monuments in the former Yugoslavia as a tribute to Tito. Incredible. Some sculptures seem straight out of a fantasy film. However, they are real. It makes you want to go and see it for real ...

Next, Miriam Cahn, Herumgehen. I loved this painting. By far, the characters are very childish. But up close, there is a side which makes them really creepy.
I forgot to note the names of the following artists ... Damn!
There were other strong works such as that of Bisan Abu-Hussam Eisheh composed of objects recovered from the houses destroyed by the Israeli army in East Jerusalem. But also Michel Aubry (The Big Game), Luis Camnitzer (Two parallel lines), Andr Guedes (Nova Argea) Nesa Paripovic (NP 1977), Batia Suter (Shelter Series) ...

Otherwise, since November 10, I started a MMOPG. This is the boat racing in the Vende Globe (Virtual Regatta; nickname: AzazelLemoine). For those who do not know this great event, there is a round the world solo non-stop 60-foot open boat. I have always felt a deep emotion following this race. This year, I did a lot of virtual racing like this. And so I started the Vende Globe.
Well, for the moment, I'm a little far in the standings (102 495th when I write these lines, 360 000 competitors). I had a very bad start (but I have a good excuse, cf. below), and now I'm stuck in the doldrums. I make these race goals. First finish in the first 50 000th. Then scrape up space. In this first part of the race, it's a bit challenged but I'm having the deep south where I can draw lines, and then up the Atlantic is hyper-technical.
So I started my virtual race evil but because I left my boat sail without direction in the first 24 hours. This is because the weekend departure, my parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary! A great time, even if everything was not perfect (one of my sisters was not invited ...). I lived this moment fully as I do not think I would see a lot of people in my generation, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary ... For my part, it is even wrong left! In any case, it's nice to see two people who, despite the vagaries of life, love and still continue to live together (hopefully this goes a long time)!!!!
Finally, I continue my swimming lessons and it goes pretty well. I can swim 800 meters crawl in one hour (my goal is to swim a kilometer from here this summer). And I can bring some movements breaststroke. But for the last swim, I usually finished at the bottom of the pool at the end of the pool! Well, it's fun for everyone, crawl in, I'm the best and widely, breaststroke, I'm dead last. Thats cool!!
