David Zwirner is pleased to announce two exhibitions of paintings by On Kawara (1932–2014), which will be on view concurrently at the gallery’s Paris and London locations. The presentations are organized in collaboration with the One Million Years Foundation, established by the artist during his lifetime to ensure the legacy of his work and fluid approach to his practice. These exhibitions are the gallery’s first presentations of Kawara’s work since his death in 2014 and offer a rare opportunity to view two significant bodies of paintings by the artist. 
The presentation in Paris will feature four rarely seen early paintings made by Kawara in Tokyo in 1955 and 1956. For the young artist, an active and vocal participant in the city’s avant-garde art community, painting provided an avenue for thinking through the palpable collective trauma that loomed over his native country in the postwar years. Kawara quickly distinguished himself from his peers; rather than depicting atrocities that remained fresh in the minds of Japanese citizens, the artist chose to evoke their psychological resonances, marshaling form and content in service of one another to channel the elusive feelings of unease, anger, and disillusionment. These enigmatic and highly accomplished works, which count among the earliest known instances of an artist working on shaped canvases, simultaneously seem to collapse and expand space, drastically unmooring the viewer’s understanding of perspective and testifying to the experience of a particular time and place. 
Kawara’s first exhibition with David Zwirner took place in 1999. During his lifetime, the gallery mounted five solo presentations of the artist’s work, with subsequent shows taking place in 2001, 2004, 2009, and 2012. Learn more about the upcoming presentation in London.

#Disneyland Paris: Worth going? Highlights and pit-avoidance guides are worth going? Definitely worth it for specific people! Parent-child families, Disney fans, first-time experiencers will enjoy it. But tourists who are looking for excitement or disgust in the queue, please think twice about the gentle project, and the queue is amazing during peak season. Exclusive highlights: 1. Dream landmark: the only pink blue sleeping beauty castle in the world, integrating European fairy tale elements, and the night view light show is beautiful. 2.30th anniversary celebration (2023 limited): Drone formations fly in the sky during the day, and the new castle projection show &quot;Disney Dream Light&quot; at night is shocking and audio-visual. 3. Immersion experience: exquisite details, rich Paris style of the Rat King District, and unique design of the haunted elevator. 4. Double garden selection: classic fairy tales in the main park, Huate Studios is more exciting (including the reconnected Campus). Avoid pits: - Download the official App in advance to check the queue/reservation; - Single channel time-saving tools; - Bring your own snacks (expensive and unpalatable in the park);- It is rainy and cold in winter, so be sure to bring enough clothes. Summary: Disney Paris wins in a unique atmosphere and limited celebration. Although the hardware is slightly inferior to Tokyo/Shanghai, the careful planning can still harvest wonderful memories. Lower expectations, embrace fairy tales, magic never ends!

The museum is massive so I suggest booking an early time slot so you have enough time to see all the exhibits there&#39;s a lot of interesting pieces of art to see . The line to get into the museum might take some time so keep that in mind.

Great option for fixed time entry into Eiffel Tower, especially if you can&rsquo;t get tickets directly with Eiffel Tower. Marie Rosa was our guide today and she is absolutely lovely, very friendly and helpful to bring us up to Eiffel Tower.

It is magnificent and splendid. Today I only visited the large indoor suite part because it was too sunny and hot outside, so I gave up. However, if the weather was cooler, I would probably spend half a day to have a good look around!

Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris

清无梓境

🌟 Paris stroll: a city romantic code, how many people do not know Paris, this name knows this building, in the textbooks to read the ugly bell ringer has increased the mystery of the biological Notre Dame, Paris must punch in the red location. The interior has not yet opened, and the exterior is still under maintenance. 🗼 Notre Dame Cathedral is under maintenance, and the people who come to punch in are still endless, just to witness the truth. It reopened in September. You can make an online reservation for the Seine River at night like a picture scroll slowly unfolding. The beauty is unspeakable.
