Martin Parr Exhibition and Antiques Shopping

Today I visited the Martin Parr retrospective in the Galerie Paris Beijing in St Giles, Brussels. Martin Parr is a British documentary photographer and professional cynic! His work focuses on the hilarity of working class holidays, the stereotypical pratices of tourists and every other aspect of provincial and suburban life in Britian one could laugh at! I love his sense of humour and rate the exhibition highly. It will be open until the end of July and admission is free.

After the exhibition I went furniture shopping in Sablon and rediscovered my favourite antiques shop in Brussels. The best part of this store is the vintage signs- I was quite tempted to buy a "Celtique Cigarettes" Sign with an illustration of a Viking smoking!

Later I walked through the streets of Brussels and saw among other things people dancing in morph suits and an episode of Agatha Christies' Poirot being filmed in the Gallerie Royales! Two seperate events, of course!

A bientot,
