Lab Coat Flora by Anna Dumitriu.

“Lab Coat Flora” is a hand stitched lab coat whitework embroidered with images of the bacteria and moulds cultured from it.

Around the time of the enlightenment the perversely difficult practice of whitework embroidery was considered to be one of the highest levels of achievement for a woman. They would sew in the evenings by candlelight straining their eyes to see the tiny stitches, hunched over their embroidery hoops, their bodies twisted and constricted by tight corsetry, one pinprick of blood meaning the whole piece would be ruined. This coincided with the period in which many of their male counterparts started to become ‘gentleman scientists’ beginning to rigorously study the world around them ‘scientifically’. This was the time when the scientific method was developed and disciplinary boundaries were drawn between art and science. By juxtaposing whitework embroidery with her scientific practice Dumitriu considers these paradigmatic changes in the process of research and current moves towards transdisciplinarity, alongside a consideration of what ‘feminine’ approaches to science might mean.

Molitor swimming pool

The piscine Molitor, designed by Lucien Pollet in 1929, reopened in Paris a few weeks ago. Unfortunately only a happy few can enjoy it now considering the entrance fees.

The World Cup allowed me to discover some of the work of Nicolas de Staël. After watching a friendly match between France and Sweden in 1952, he executed a series of paintings of football players. I can' find much information on each paintings but the ones posted below belong to this series named Le Parc des Princes (the name of the fooball stadium in Paris).
