Art in Public Spaces in Paris

Well it's really almost a cliché - Paris as a city of love. And a city of art. Indeed French capital has been a background for numerous love stories and romances also among great artists. In our 3rd episode we're confronting two inspiring art couples that were shining in Paris, especially in the first half of 20th century - meet Gertrude Stein & Alice B. Toklas and Sophie Taeuber-Arp & Jean Arp. May love and avant-garde be with you!

Being an artist isn’t the easiest way to live your life but sometimes this path takes very dangerous turns. Caravaggio, Chris Burden, Ai Weiwei, Marina Abramović, Bas Jan Ader or Pippa Bacca and many other artists have a lot in common - their passion for artmaking threatened their existence. In this episode we (Kasia and Alicja) are talking about artists who either unconsciously or with full risk put theirs lives in danger. All for the sake of art.

We are Kasia and Alicja from Paris Art Tour, two expats, art enthusiasts and professional guides. Kasia is an artist and a founder of Street Art Tour in Paris, Alicja is an art historian and a journalist. In our first podcast we will give you some hints about art, placed in the public space in Paris - in the locked down world, with museums and galleries on stand by - the only alternative for all the art lovers, who wish to experience art.
