NUMÉRO ART 10
Numéro Art, the leading magazine for international contemporary art, features the most influential personalities, events and places in the contemporary creative scene.
Within the pages of this edition, Pol Taburet, a young French talent jolting the art scene and the winner of the Reiffers Art Initiatives prize for contemporary creation and cultural diversity, invited Numéro Art into his Parisian studio. The Frenchman summons Creole quimbois, occult powers and US rap imagery in his hallucinatory and powerful paintings. Numéro Art also met up with British star Anish Kapoor in his studio to view his bloody and visceral works, which took Venice by storm during a brilliant two-part exhibition. Lastly, this issue pays homage to the renowned painter Marlene Dumas, whose carnal canvases masterfully create an enchanting mix between light and shadow in Venice’s Palazzo Grassi.

BLU MARBLE
The artist Sebastian Errazuriz presents his latest artwork "blu Marble" as part of a new campaign by the e-cigarette company blu. A production signed Mazarine New York.
A contemplative event production by artist Sebastian Errazuriz through a stream that projects the Earth in real time from space. This work is an echo of the famous "Blue Marble" photo taken during the last Apollo 17 lunar mission.
Sebastian Errazuriz honors this iconic photograph by bringing it to life with a monumental outdoor sculpture that broadcasts a live video of the Earth via a NASA satellite: "blu Marble". Mazarine New York has demonstrated a 360° level of expertise in making this art project visible both on the Lower East Side and on the facade of the New Museum.
For the inauguration, Mazarine held a private launch at Galerie Richard Taittinger featuring the artist and an exhibition documenting the project.
