Last Spring, EMERGE had the rare and special opportunity to meet the graphic geniuses behind M/M (Paris) while visiting the City of Lights for an art opening. We were struck not only by the work we saw, but by how cool and interesting they were over a mindblowing meal. The next day we returned to New York and saw this article in the New York Times, and were totally blown away by how utterly rad these guys are.

That's why we are dying to head back to Paris to see the two new shows of M/M (Paris)'s work.

The first, Vision Tenace (Relentless Vision) is currently on view in the Centre Pompidou (through February 18) and the second, L'ile au Tresor (Treasure Island) is at the hot-shit gallery Air de Paris through March 8.

While we were able to find some images from Relentless Vision, we couldn't find anything large enough to include in this post from the Treasure Island show, which apparently involves a book created from found texts as well as accompanying installations including a reading cabinet complete with reading nook, printed carpets and heat-molded plexiglass frames containing "engravings alluding to the nomadic pleasures of reading." We have no idea what all of this means, or even what it looks like, but we're completely fascinated.

Here is an installation view of Relentless Vision:



























Here is an image we found on the We Love Paris blog in a post about the show:
