Can’t get any bigger

Monday, May 26th, 2008

Some artist sent a suitcase with a gps device around the globe, collated the data, et presto, the biggest self portrait in the world.  Now the whole world is art.

Now, why did he have to take up a Jesus stance ?

Arsene Roisin

In her blog Not Dead Yet, Judith Taylor, an 80-year old retired PA from Hertfordshire (United Kingdom), consistently writes down things she would like to live on after she’s gone. In 2006 she wrote a short account on a romance she experienced with the French cartoonist Arsène Roisin, who sadly died when he was only 32.

It’s wonderful art and a wonderful account. It confronted me with my own prejudice that older people always were old, and never had a life of their own.

I would like to learn more about this artist – the only thing I could find was a listing of issues of the French weekly Le Hérisson to which he contributed in 1952.
