VOYAGES OF THE MIND

emma malig

You will have to leave Paris to see the exhibition “Terra Bruna” (Espace Julio Gonzalez, 21 av. Paul Doumer 94110 Arcueil; tel.: 01 46 15 09 75; RER: Laplace), featuring the work of Paris-based Chilean artist Emma Malig, but it is worth it, especially if you go on Sat., March 13, the show’s last day, between 4pm and 7pm to meet the artist. For this exhibition, Malig painted on, tore up and otherwise reworked old maps to create beautiful and delicate yet strongly evocative works that speak poetically about voyages of the mind.

ANTIQUES AND HAM

Here’s an unusual idea for a weekend outing: take a trip just outside of Paris to the island of Chatou, where the Impressionists used to hang out and paint, for the 80th edition of the Foire Nationale aux Antiquités, à la Brocante et aux Jambons. That’s right: antiques and ham. Over 800 antique and bric-a-brac dealers from all over France will show their wares and, in addition to ham and other pork products, you’ll find a number of regional products, including wine, foie gras, cassoulet, oysters, cheese and more. March 12-21. Take RER line A1 to Rueil Malmaison or Chatou-Croissy. Visit the Web site for more information.

Life of luxury in the Paris Métro: Ikea is promoting its sofas by installing them in the Concorde Métro station (complete with security guards to ensure that they are not misused).
