The FIAC is coming!

As said in the previous post, the FIAC is coming! FIAC=CAIF i.e. Contemporary Art International Fair.
The FIAC will take place in Paris next week from the 18 to the 21 October 2012. Art will be exposed in beautiful places in Paris like the "Grand Palais" but also outdoor as for instance, the splendid Garden of the Tuileries. If you are in Paris now, you can enjoy some artistic creations already there or being installed.
See, in place, The Origin of the World from Marc Quinn:

Close to the pond, some strange benches are joining the traditional old chairs of the garden, as this one :

If you go to the other pond, near the "place de la Concorde", you will see a ballet of amazing creatures, Sinfonietta of Light, 2012, Susumu Shingu's creation, installation of 10 sculptures in carbon fiber, aluminum, stainless steel and polyester fabric:


Near the Tuileries garden, in the most luxurious place in the world, the Place Vendôme, stand the creations of Jaume Plensa :

If it is not possible this month, the garden of the Tuileries will still stay full of nice sculptures, there permanently, contemporary, modern or old :
