Last night I was at the Chinart boutique-gallery launch. It’s small space in the 6th, not far from Bon Marché, dedicated to Chinese contemporary artists but also full of objects from China. These have been carefully selected by owners, Katrin Rougeventre and Clement Ledermann, who fell in love in China some 20 years ago and have not stopped visiting it since.
It was also the opening of their photo exhibition – a series of photos of Chinese mailboxes. The mailbox is a common object but the Chinese believe it can bring good luck.
While outside it was cold, humid night and my iphone battery was out of power, my broadband speed was non-existent, the warm and cosy atmosphere inside made me forget all that.
