April 10, 2024. Hopped on a train for a short ride to the seaside town of Sète with a friend for the day. The weather was, as you can see from the pictures, stunning. The wind was a bit strong but as an air sign I find that reinvigorating, plus it died down a bit when we sat on a bench on the Promenade with a view of the water for our lunch.

We walked through the Cimetière des Marins because since Paris I'm looking for Gothic Revival-style mausoleums (one of my many side projects for when my doctoral thesis is done).

We tried to go to a café we knew about for a matcha latte but it was unexpectedly closed for the afternoon. We found a different café which also does matcha but it wasn't very good (it was basically milk that dreamed of being a matcha but couldn't live up to its aspirations).

To finish off the day, we went to the CRAC (Centre Régional d'Art Contemporain) to see the current exhibition, a retrospective of the Italian artist-architect Gianni Pettena titled Anarchitecture.

[MUSEUMWEEK] #ExploreMW Gianni Pettena, « 45 Miles Red Line (Following the City Limits) », 1972. Collection Frac Centre-Val de Loire. G. Pettena et ses étudiants en architecture, tracent une ligne rouge continue au milieu d'une route sur 45 kilomètres en partant de l’université de l’Utah. « Red Line » modifie notre appréhension de l'espace, sans être ni objet ni langage, tout juste un signe. Pettena and his architecture students, drew a continuous red line in the middle of the road over a 45-kilometer stretch, starting with the University of Utah. The red line changes our grasp of space, without being either an object or a language, and barely being even a sign. #MuseumWeek #MuseumWeek19 #Museum #Musnum #exhibition #exposition #architect #designers #architecture #teamarchi #archilovers #picture #capture #street #redline #Pettena #explore #utah #USA #exploring #outside #discover #roadtrip #traveler #travelling #igtravel #ltesgosomewhere #traveller (à Frac Centre-Val de Loire) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxkIFm0B8gs/?igshid=18ettf0z5vk5p

SuperDesign charts the Italian Radicals’ bold experimentation in modern design from its birth through its continued influence on design today.Radical Design was launched by art, architecture, and design students in Italy in the mid-1960s. What started as a youthful rally against the establishment and a rejection of design norms became a movement that brought together some of the most dynamic and avant-garde thinkers and makers across the country. Through enigmatic, confrontational, and clever furniture and objects—such as the iconic lip-shaped Bocca sofa, or the Cactus coat-rack in green foam—as well as more public innovations including discotheque interiors and subversive performances, the Radicals projected design’s new era as equal parts Pop Art, play, Surrealism, and futurism. Told through exclusive interviews, unreleased photographs, original drawings and artwork unearthed from personal archives, and newly commissioned photography of rarely seen works, SuperDesign explores this fervent period of design that played out against the era’s social and political turmoil. Featured designers include Archizoom Associati, Lapo Binazzi (UFO), Pietro Derossi (Gruppo Strum), Piero Gilardi, Ugo La Pietra, Gaetano Pesce, Gianni Pettena, Studio65, and Superstudio. The culmination of a decade of collecting and researching original examples of some of the most important and iconic works of the period, SuperDesign offers a unique new introduction to the legacy of the Italian Radicals.
