China, China, China, all we hear about is China, especially as the Olympics draw closer. Tibet is focalizing international attention, but the Chinese politics over there are only one facet of a development plan that is changing the inside of the "great red dragon" lightning-quick. Frenchman Ambroise Tézenas took himself to Beijing to photograph the urbanistic transition through which entire neighborhoods of Hutongs, small houses for the working-class, are demolished to make room for large, ultra-modern infrastructures.

In the Indian town of Mumbai, Jitish Kallat witnessed a scene of extreme violence: a demolition drive on makeshift homes, some of them occupied for many years, along a large wall on the edge of railroad tracks. A few weeks later, the urban architecture had started to reappropriate the wall these tiny homes had leant on. Movie posters and advertising bills covered fresh traces of domestic occupation - electric wires, clothes, calendars and holy pictures, paint... Jitish Kallat's lenticular pictures bring out the marks stamped by brutal demolition and the pathetic remains of a bygone life.

For its summer show, the SMALL&CO gallery gathers young Russian artists around the notion of the tale. As its director Liza Fetissova writes, "for a Russian, a traditional tale is a story heard in childhood that follows him or her forever: through the characters carved in wood at the playground, through the first books, through cartoons, jokes and expressions, dramas and ballets. Russian artists cannot escape a tale."
The folkloric themes, stamped in the collective unconscious, are thus exhibited in broad daylight. Photography, sculpture, painting, but also graffiti, embroidery or drawing, take up these motifs with a fully contemporary immediacy, irony and visual style.

Eleven hot young artists that came from the cold: Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland. They are gathered in Göteborg around the medium of painting, but they won't do as they're told: beside the oils on canvas or paper, one finds drawings, performance, digital graphic design... All were born in the 70's or even the 80's, and judging from the quality of the exhibited works, the Konsthall's words stand true: the future belongs to them.

There's no denying it: Marika Chaumet works well. After handling the renovation of the flagship Repetto store on the rue de la Paix, the interior decorator managed once again to reconcile the tutu spirit with our obsession for accessories inside the new rue du Four shop.
As in the days of childhood, the pointe and demi-pointe shoes await, neatly arranged inside their wooden compartments. The timber floor, barre and large mirror panels set the atmosphere of a dance studio, a special climate made even more palpable by the leotards, cache-coeur and assorted dancewear. The ballet flats, tango or cancan shoes stand to attention, strictly sorted by range and by color.
It's the discipline of an afternoon dance lesson all over, and we'd almost fear lest a severe saleswoman come armed with a stick to rectify our posture. So stand straight, contract your abs, keep your head up and shop gracefully please!

It's summer, so the National Gallery in Canberra offers to climb up the trees.
Treescape is a panorama of the history of trees in art since 1850. The pictorialist photographs by John Kauffman (1864-1942), influenced by the blurry atmospheric effects found in etching, are succeeded by the black and white pictures of Ansel Adams (1902-1984), works of exceptional precision in which the barks are often featured close up.
More contemporary, Sally Smart's installation Family tree house (shadows and symptoms), created between 1999 and 2002, fills up an entire wall in one of the rooms. Hundreds of pieces of felt make up the shape of a life-sized tree inhabited by strange creatures and hybrid, unidentifiable objects - as the shadows that lurk within all family trees.
The Australian NGA does not forget the fauna that people the boughs; possums and bats carved in bark, ceramic koalas, green frogs and birds, all show up at some point.
Now let's get to Australia!

The Musée des Arts Décoratifs' toys collection has been growing steadily since 1905. It re-opened in 2006 and since then shares some its treasures twice a year. For this summer session revolving around Water Games, the museum invited Gérard Deschamps, a prominent figure of the New Realism movement. Opposite windows filled with classic and contemporary toys, he created about twenty Pneumostructures, compositions that oscillate between the childish, the absurd and the fantastic, built from elements associated with aquatic leisure.

1 and 2- Miniatures of Alessi classics
Spring-summer 08 collection
As a tribute to the great designers who created iconic items for the brand, Alessi is reproducing a series of eleven miniature sculptures, identical (and fully fonctional !) replicas of the best-sellers which spelt its success during the last sixty years. A loose selection includes the "Bombé" teapot by Carlo Alessi (1945), the "9093" whistling kettle by Michael Graves (1985), or the shell-shaped kettle by Philippe Starck, "Hot Berthaa" (1990).
Champagne Krug Clos d'Ambonnay 1995
3.000 to 4.000 bottles available, price on demand
Drink in moderation
The Clos d'Ambonnay is a tiny, exclusive vineyard, less than a hectare in size and girded by stone walls. It yields a Pinot noir of capital importance in the fine cépage mixes that have built the glory of the house of Krug. More than twenty years after Clos du Mesnil, Krug once again forsook for a moment the quest for the perfect assemblage to focus their efforts on a small piece of land and transform its grape into an exceptional fruit, destined to become a grand cru. The flavors of brioche, caramelized spices, wax and red fruit, precede a final note of rare persistence. Clos d'Ambonnay is the sixth jewel in the precious Krug line - the most delicious and secret in their crown.
1 to 7- New Blanc d'Ivoire store, rue de Saintonge
When walking down the rue du Pont-aux-Choux with its early XXth century workshop fronts, then down the rue de Poitou, now one of the trendiest fashion and design spots in Paris, one eventually stumbles upon a deserted little street of the Haut Marais, home to the brand new Blanc d'Ivoire store. The 400 m2 of this former industrial space are divided into 3 stories, bathed in white light filtered from an Eiffel glass roof. Envisioned as a lifestyle store, the new shop gathers almost all of the brand's ranges: textiles, tableware, furniture and other items... Concrete, metal and glass collide with soft patined wood inside this gigantic Blanc d'Ivoire loft. An apotheosis of urban ultra-chic Charme.

Set up in collaboration with the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Dijon and the Musée Matisse de Cateau-Cambrésis, the Fauves Hongrois exhibition, presented at the Musée d'Art Moderne de Céret, relies on the 2006 major retrospective at the Hungarian National Gallery in Budapest: Hungarian Fauves, from Paris to Nagybánya, 1904-1914. A selection of 110 paintings and 49 drawings, about half of the 2006 exhibition, draws the portrait of Hungarian fauvism, astride between national tradition and references to the Parisian avant-garde. The exhibition also examines the specifics of the various centers of Hungarian fauvism: Paris, Budapest, and Nagybánya, a tumultuous colony of artists in Transylvania. The works gathered, very rarely shown outside of Hungarian museums and collections, are signed by artists who went mostly unrecognized on the international scene, such as Géza Bornemisza, Béla Czóbel, Sándor Ziffer, Jozsef Rippl-Ronai, Vilmos Perlrott Csaba...

Jewgeni Chaldej (1917-1997) is sometimes nicknamed the Soviet Robert Capa. Just like his American counterpart, he didn't photograph the war as a reporter, but rather as a soldier among soldiers, who shot with his camera instead of a rifle. His pictures do not document the Allied landing or the combat on the Atlantic front, but rather the awful conflict between Germany and the U.S.S.R.
Thus on display is the disaster at Murmansk, a town made of wood, burnt to ashes within 24 hours by 350 incendiary bombs dropped by the Luftwaffe.
In Budapest, after the city was liberated, a Jewish couple still wears the yellow star sewn into their clothes.
Elsewhere, German civilians committed suicide before the Allies marched in; a soldier is planting a flag with the hammer and sickle on top of the Reichstag. Stalin, clad in radiant white, sits as if enthroned at the Potsdam conference of 1945, and we can glimpse into the glacial eyes of Hermann Göring at his Nüremberg trial.
The exhibition at the Berlin museum Martin-Gropius-Bau will later travel towards Kiev, in the Ukraine, Chaldej's native country. Free works are shown alongside commissioned series - an opposition that lies at the root of the work as a news photographer. Part of this show's interest is in studying the way Chaldej managed to juggle both polarities.

The distributor works exclusively with Varenna, a subsidiary from famous Italian editor Poliform, and exhibits two collections: Matrix and Minimal. Geometric and sophisticated, both lines have lot in common. Introduced at the showroom in a glossy white version, Matrix sticks to the high-tech. Minimal, just as graphic, is a better match for natural materials such as wood or stone. On the basement floor, a materials library opens up a vast choice: wenge, ebony, ovangkol, oak, and many more eco-friendly essences.
