OBAMARAMA at dorothy' gallery
It's all about Obama at dorothy's gallery until the 17th of November and if you're an American in Paris or among the many who are interested in the upcoming election, I highly recommend you check out "Barack Obama in Paris". French and American artists contributed to the exhibition and their paintings, installations, and sketches all comment on the current political situation, mostly with an obvious Obama bent- one work was a holographic panel lit from behind which, depending on how you looked at it, depicted the image of either Obama or Martin Luther King Jr. surrounded by a halo of light. Some of my favorite pieces included original sketches of New Yorker comics and the colorful collages of American imagery which, for the first time in a while, felt uplifting rather than embarrasing. Dorothy's gallery provides a space for Obama art to shine, but also is a place for supporters to gather and refuel their "Yes We Can" energy.
Dorothy also has some debates planned, as well as a "soirée musicale" and some other events. Of course, if Obama is elected, Dorothy told me, there would be a party as well.
