Henri Matisse à Papeete 1930

En mars 1930, le peintre français Henri Matisse (1869-1954) séjourna dans une chambre au troisième étage avec balcon de l’hôtel Stuart face au front de mer. De sa fenêtre, il a peint un de ses tableaux le plus célèbre : « Vu par la fenêtre » sur le port de Papeete. De retour en France, il réalise des tableaux aux gouaches découpées ainsi que des tapisseries et vitraux inspirés largement des tifaifai tahitiens.

Press Release:

The Island Club presents Merida (Painting for Sale, by the Meter), by Pierre Leguillon for the Museum of Mistakes.

I.

“Someone tells him:

‘Keep away from abstract art. It is the fabrication of impotents and crooks. They are incapable of doing anything else. They cannot draw. Yet Ingres says that drawing is the probity of art. They cannot paint. Yet Delacroix says that painting is the probity of art. Keep away. Even a child could do it.’

What does it matter that they are crooks, if that gives him pleasure? What does he care if they cannot draw? Could Cimabue draw? What does it mean for one to know how to draw? What does it matter if children could do it? It would have been wonderful. What stops them? Their parents, perhaps. Or would they not have time for that?”

Samuel Beckett, Le Monde et le Pantalon, 1945, translated by Androula Kafa

“As I closely examined the piece I became aware of an interesting problem lurking within it. As mentioned earlier, there is a blurriness in the patterns of kasuri by its very nature, a misalignment. Since this is a matter beyond technical control, it can be thought as type of human error, a human blunder. From Nature’s perspective, however, it falls within the natural course of events. Kasuri should not be thought as the result of Human ingenuity but as the product of the mysterious workings of nature. […]

While there will undoubtedly be some people who will dismiss kasuri as a labor-intensive, time-consuming manual craft from the past, there will also be some, tired of modern mechanization, who will rediscover in kasuri a new freshness and beauty. Moreover, the day will surely come when the world assesses this unique Oriental textile at its true value. Especially now, when abstract beauty is being viewed with a new regard, there will undoubtedly be many who are captivated by kasuri’s abstraction. It seems to me that, among the textile arts, the beauty of kasuri cannot be denied, that it is a handicraft of paramount importance.”

Sōetsu Yanagi, The Beauty of Kasuri, 1959, translated by Michael Brase

In 2017, while visiting the city of Mérida in the southeast Mexican state of Yucatán, Pierre Leguillon happened upon a small bar whose shoddy walls were painted in broad brushstrokes of red, blue, yellow, and black. A year later, with this camouflaged wall painting still in mind, Leguillon traveled to the Japanese city of Yame, on the island of Kyushu, on a quest to render the forms of the mural on kasuri textiles, using the ancient and highly intricate ikat dyeing technique. Working with kasuri master Kyōzō Shimogawa (下川強臓), Leguillon produced textiles that emulate the motley brushstrokes of the Meridian mural in a spirit of ambiguity and abstraction. With each resulting pattern looking slightly different than the rest, the ensuing uniqueness of each meter of fabric led Leguillon to an understanding of these works as paintings. The artist situates these paintings, which he sees as echoing the work of artists like Anni Albers, Giuseppe Pinot-Gallizio, and Blinky Palermo, in the tradition of Occidental modernism. Merida will be displayed at The Island Club where, in accordance with the work’s conceptual principle, it will be sold by the meter for the entire duration of the exhibition.

II.

Protocol:

A. Sales will begin at the opening of the exhibition, on Saturday 18 May 2019, 6pm. B. The paintings will be sold on a first come, first served basis. C. Those who cannot be physically present at the exhibition can place their orders electronically at [email protected]. D. The price of the first meter will be 170 euros, as defined by the price of the first frame. E. The price of each subsequent meter will be 5% higher than that of the previous one. F. No more than one meter can be purchased by each buyer. Each painting measures at 100 x 37.5 cm. G. No more than 150 meters will be produced. H. The paintings will be sold unframed. I. An invoice will be issued by Christodoulos Panayiotou. The invoice will be stamped by The Island Club and The Museum of Mistakes, and signed by Christodoulos Panayiotou and Pierre Leguillon. J. The items will be shipped from Limassol, Cyprus. Shipping expenses will be covered by the buyer. K. A list of buyers will be published when the paintings are sold out. Buyers may request to remain anonymous.

Pierre Leguillon was born in 1969 in Nogent-sur-Marne, France. He lives and works in Brussels, where he established the Museum of Mistakes in 2013. His work often incorporates fabrics, and his personal collection contains a wide range of kasuri textiles. The latter have been displayed in Wiels Contemporary Art Centre, Brussels (2015), and ‘Tifaifai’, Rotonde Balzac, Fondation des Artistes, Paris (2013).

Air Tahiti Nui Business Class Flight from LA to Tahiti

When it comes to long-haul flights, having a bit of room to spread out makes traveling much more comfortable. Arriving feeling refreshed and ready for an adventure also means that you can hit the ground running rather than needing a day in bed to feel alive again.

Air Tahiti Nui is well-known as the preferred choice for direct flights from LA to Tahiti, but also operates long-haul flights all over the world. On my trip from California to French Polynesia, I was upgraded to business class and got to experience their premium service first hand.

Here’s my experience flying Air Tahiti Nui business class!

– What to Expect –

I took a non-stop flight from LAX to Papeete, Tahiti. The flight lasted just under eight hours, which definitely makes for a long day of travel– but it is shorter than flights to a lot of other tropical destinations. I was seriously surprised as to how close the French Polynesian islands actually were!

Business class passengers on Air Tahiti Nui get priority check-in, access to a VIP lounge, and priority baggage service. On trips across the globe, these little perks save some serious time and make travel as stress free as possible.

– Upon Boarding –

I was greeted with a glass of champagne, which is always a special touch before takeoff The whole Air Tahiti Nui experience is very tropical!

As soon as you get on, you are gifted a Tiare — Tahiti’s national flower.

With beach-inspired decor, the cabin is aqua and sand colored with tropical accents. Even the cushions are designed to look like handcrafted Tahitian textures known as tifaifai. After countless flights in drab-looking cabins, this was a seriously cool bonus.

– Amenities –

The little Air Tahiti Nui toiletry kit was basic but handy, and it came in a cute beach-style zippered bag. I was stocked up with socks, an eye mask, earplugs, lip balm, a toothbrush, and toothpaste to stay fresh during the flight.

Plus, you can reuse the bag on future trips!

I did love that the amenity bag wasn’t stuffed with items I’d never use. Instead of creating waste, the airline attendant came around with a basket of “just in case” essentials including razors with shaving cream, moisturizer and ballpoint pens.

– Seating –

The Air Tahiti Nui business class seats are what made it all worthwhile. They’ve got a hook for handbags and little storage compartments so you can keep everything organized during the flight. There was ample space surrounding the seats to keep everything handy without feeling crowded.

The seats themselves recline to “nearly lie-flat” at a 160-degree angle, so you can keep adjusting until you find a sweet spot– perfect for sleeping, which is critical during a long-haul flight.

They are also designed to optimize privacy so you never feel like your neighbors are looking over your shoulder.

– Food and Drink –

A blend of Polynesian, French, and international flavors, Air Tahiti Nui’s fare is impressive. It’s got a great selection of wine and a wide range of food. The seafood was amazing and definitely exceeded my expectations for airline food.

Air Tahiti Nui is also good at dealing with dietary restrictions of all kinds, which is another culinary essential.

It has eleven different meal types that will work for the vast majority of diets. Just call the airline about your needs forty-eight hours before your flight and you will be well fed and happy.

– Entertainment –

Air Tahiti Nui business class offers tablet-quality, twelve-inch touch screens. There’s an easy-to-use menu that will guide you through all of the movies, TV shows, music, games, and features of your destination. The on-demand options give you a few dozen movies and TV shows with a range of language options.

Of course, like on any airline, the on-board entertainment can be hit or miss for me so private entertainment is always essential. Air Tahiti Nui business class has a good setup for using your own electronics.

There is enough space to spread out and it has got conveniently located outlets and USB charging ports.
