From the 15th to 19th of June 2011, Peter Larsen was invited by the french journal Art Press to exhibit on the Basel art fair.


 

Since 2009, my workshop is open to public the day of Les Visiteurs du Soir. Les Visiteurs du Soir is an event organized by the association Botox[s] which includes the major spaces of visual art on the Cote d'Azur. It's a informal evening where I explain about my work in progress at the workshop. It is also the date of an annual sale at the workshop of some prototypes, tests and returns from exhibitions.


Art cote d'azur is the monthly supplement to a newspaper of legal notices. Its director Francis Xavier Ciais comes from a family of printers. That's why Art cote d'azur in addition to its editorial quality also has a high quality in printing and paper. Having a degree in bookbinding and working with cardboard and paper, I appreciate very much the effort done to make Art cote d'azur, not just a good journal but also a nice object in itself. So I was very pleased to present my work with Art cote d'azur at the Contemporary Art Monaco 2011.

In 2009, Peter Larsen was looking for a place to test the complete dedication of a work to the place of its presentation. Nathalie Moya from the Galeries Lafayette and Gilbert Grisoni from the Circle of Art then proposed him to invest the walls of the restaurant Hédiard at the Galeries Lafayette in Nice. The exhibition scheduled for the christmas season 2009 finally stayed as permanent exhibition until the concession of the restaurant was changed in benefit of the Mariage Frères label.

In 2009, the exhibition Between the Lines is an idea from Olivier Lecine, director of the Museum Andrée Villers. It is a joint exhibition with photographer Franck Follet. The urban photographs in black and white by Franck are very graphic and make appear an analogy in our works and between abstract and figurative.
