Amy: I was scouted at age 14, but I took about 2 years to let go of sports and really devote my time to modelling. Blanche: What do you do in LA apart from modelling? Blanche: Who discovered you? Amy: The man who scouted me is actually still my agent to this day. His name is James Charles and he is an agent at Photogenics agency in Los Angeles. He’s like family to me and has always been there for me. Through thick and thin. Blanche: How does the California Amy: I was spoiled by being born and raised in Venice beach. Life (there) is incredibly mellow and laid back. I say spoiled because I spent most of my time at the beach, working, or with my family and friends. Although I absolutely love Europe, I do from the California lifestyle. Europe is so different that it’s an amazing change for me. At times it feels necessary to get away from the slow Cali days and run around Milan to castings, shoots, and amazing restaurants. The pace is much faster in every sense, but it’s always nice to come home to the peaceful beach and relax. NICOLAS COMMENT T he women in Nicolas Comment’s photographs are not models but his companions and lovers. The French photographer Anne-Lise Broyer, with whom he lived, was an early muse inspiring three of his books, La Desserte (2001), Le Point (2003) and A*** (2004), playing the part of a distant feminine Comment’s work has a strong connection to literature. His photographs of women and the mundane details of life are edited together into his muses, Comment produces voluptuous and intimate images of his daily experiences and travels, creating sentimental and personal documentations of countries or cities which are perhaps closer in spirit to travel literature than travel photography. author can be felt. Indeed, Comment often makes direct reference to literature or follows in the tracks of a poet or novelist. In La Visite (2010), commissioned in homage to Bernard LamarcheVadel, he uses photography and video to deliver his vision of a writer and poet whom he had always admired. Comment initiates a journey through the universe of Lamarche-Vadel’s novels, bringing us to “La Rongère” in the town of Vitre, a castle where the writer last lived, and which was also the setting for his famous novel Sa Vie Son Oeuvre. Regina, Comments’ Russian muse, gives a bright touch of life to the deserted old rooms, haunted by the spirit of a dead writer. Blanche: Do you carry something in your suitcase to remind you of California? Blanche Magazine spoke to the artist about his latest series, Mexico City Waltz, for which he chose three books as his guides: Jack Kerouac’s Tristessa, Malcolm Lowry’s Au dessous du Volcan and Amy: I usually carry photos of my loved ones and a laptop BLANCHE Amy: I was a synchronized Modelling took precedence, so I keep in shape by swimming laps, doing power yoga, spinning and working with my trainer. Other than that, road trips with good friends. I come from a family of foodies and we love trying new restaurants and cooking. Amy: My role model has always been Michael Jordan. He changed the game of basketball forever and set the standard for a new wave of style and grace. In fashion, it is the supermodels from beautiful women in the world and are still doing gorgeous campaigns to this day. Blanche: Who is your favourite photographer you’ve worked with? And who you would like to work with but haven’t? Amy: I shot a magazine with Blanche: London, New York, Wayne Maser in Italy.

The choice of the Incredible Hulk and Popeye as the subjects was surprising in that that these icons carry a nostalgic cool and familiarity, and seemed to represent an abandonment of what seemed to be the artists’ previous mission, to redeem and glorify the kitsch and the banal. The competing icons, objects, and styles employed in the Popeye and Hulk Elvis paintings along with the use of aesthetic abstraction, seemed, like the chains which ('+,*#',"#&#,,#('#'7,%)((% toys sculptures of the former series, to invite interpretation when previously the artist had discouraged it, claiming that his work contained no hidden meaning.

The meticulously drawn BLANCHE 112 pattern was etched in graphite pencil over a six month period after Orozco was discharged from hospital following a collapsed lung. The human skull, which #!" +'%$%" and particularly associated with its Day of the Dead Festival, is a touching memento mori with a sense of imposing an order on death. The hypnotizing checkerboard pattern covering all but its teeth, evokes a spirit of game playing, a recurring theme of the exhibition. These games do not appear in their conventional form. The billiard table, " &$%% & stands in the middle of a room with a stand of cues at the entrance, is oval shaped, and the coloured ball, which in the Carambole variation of the game must be hit along with the dotted ball in order to score a point, is hung from the ceiling and resting a fraction above the table. There is apparently no achievable objective in this game and therefore no end. Deliberately void of the coherence which Dali gave to his surreal landscapes through a consistent aesthetic, Orozco’s objects seem to belong to worlds different from ours and different from each other (good point, can we make the language more ambigious, less simple). They are often the detritus of everyday life, as if remade by an alien mind without understanding of their practical application. In removing their familiarity, Orozco gives them beauty, in removing their functionality he makes them monumental.

Referring to his series, ‘The New’, Koons stated, “I was interested in the psychological state tied to newness and immortality: the gestalt came directly from viewing an inanimate object - a vacuum cleaner- that was in a position to be immortal...the encasement of the vacuum cleaners with the ideas of removal and protection, and the equilibrium tanks with water suspending the basketballs - these are all very womb like.” ''+2(-*(/+ ' New Hoover Convertibles, Green, Red, Brown, New Shelton Wet/Dry 10 Gallon #+)%(-%$*(('+ removed Hoover vacuum cleaners and Spalding basketballs from their usual societal position in electrical and sporting goods stores, placing them in lit glass cases, glorifying them in their newness, and spotlessness, a state in which he BLANCHE %%(/+,"&,(*&#'#'6'#,%13I have always used cleanliness,” said Koons, “as a form of order to maintain for the viewer a belief in the essence of the eternal.” The Popeye and Incredible Hulk images of Koons’ recent work, icons which exist comfortably in mainstream pop culture and do not carry the burden of shame (*%++#6,#('+4kitsch’, do not enjoy the same treatment within Koons work as the ornaments and monuments of his earlier work. They are not afforded a space to themselves, even within their own frame, nor are they lovingly represented, preserved, or awarded order though cleanliness. Instead, they are placed on a canvas which resembles a repeatedly vandalised wall, and forced to compete for attention in a bright explosion of colour, contrasting styles, the seductive photography of the advertising industry and the work or imitations of other artists.

Baccarat LIGHT FANTASTIC A combination of contemporary reinterpretations of its classic chandeliers and completely original designs by some of the design world’s biggest names, the Baccarat exhibiton at the Palazzo Morano glittered and twinkled in a typical high octane production. Sfera by Michele de Lucchi is based on an interpretation of the globe of the Baccarat decanter with layer upon layer of skillfully blown and cut glass. Jeff Koons’ work is currently represented the ‘Seeing Is a Kind of Thinking: A Jim Nutt Companion’ exhibition at The Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago until May 29 and at the ‘In Praise of Doubt’ exhibition at the Punta della Dogana in Venice from April #+4Moustache’ exhibit can also be seen at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, (*!#-',#%1 114 Features www.baccarat.com T *#$" (%#$ "$ the centerpieces of Orozco’s April exhibition at the Tate Modern, was found by the artist in a Parisian scrapyard. Fascinated by the streamline design, he enhanced that aspect of the vehicle, by removing the middle section, then attaching the two outer sections back together.
