18 France ( 16 �17 ) 16. Plastic world � It’s hard to overstate the significance of Playmobil’s effect on playing patterns the world over. Indeed, the 7.5cm figurine, created by German Hans Beck back in 1974 as a counterweight to the ensuing oil crisis, innovatively allowed toddlers to bend their play pals to their every demand (it was the first time that toys could be shaped and adapted). For this retrospective documenting the toy’s many evolutions, Les Arts Décoratifs roll out the red carpet to cowboys and Indians, pirates and Vikings, space heroes and football players, contextualising them within sets specifically created for the exhibition. Il était une fois Playmobil � From 10 th December 2009 to 9 th May 2010 ☞ Les Arts Décoratifs, Paris � www.lesartsdecoratifs.fr 17. Leave me alone � The act of retrieving oneself from reality, to escape and curl-up is the premise of this exhibition at Paris’ Palais de Tokyo. Drawing on the works of many artists – Gardar Eide Einarsson’s penciled robotportrait of Theodore Kaczynski, America’s most elusive terrorist, art collective Dora Winter’s reproductive installations, Paul Laffoley’s paintings (the fi rst time the well-known American recluse’s work is shown in Europe) to name but a few – the exhibition celebrates desolation and lonesomeness. Despite the dark nature of the exhibition’s theme, the fragility and beauty of the works on shows is impressive. Chasing Napoleon � Until 17 th January 2010 ☞ Palais de Tokyo, Paris � www.palaisdetokyo.com THE IDENTITY ISSUE © Les Arts Décoratifs © Courtesy Robert Kusmirowski & Foksal Gallery 16. 17. THE DIARY Holland 18. 19. © Edward Burtynski © Elizabeth Peyton ( 18 � 19 ) 18. Court painter � Portrait specialist Elizabeth Peyton has painted anyone and everyone that matters in today’s high society, from David Hockney to Prince Harry and Marc Jacobs. Her distinctive brush stroke, characterised by timid dashes of paint and a certain distance kept from her subject, is eloquent yet simple, often painting her subjects in lights they normally would never be seen in. Although some have accused Peyton of blatant celebrity-seeking, the poetry and nonchalance prevalent in her works as well as her ability to capture a fragility not usually associated with her many subjects makes her the perfect heir to Andy Warhol. Live Forever: Elizabeth Peyton � Until 21 st March 2010 ☞ Bonnefanten, Maastricht � www.bonnefanten.nl 19. Blood in blood out � Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky is well-known for his damning visual verdicts on the industrialised world’s many shortcomings – from mining in China to ship breaking in Bangladesh – culminating in the mesmerising documentary Manufactured Landscapes. He has also, for over 10 years now, focused his lens on the rise (and rise) of the world’s dependence on black gold, taking his many fans on a voyage to Azerbaijan’s oil fi eld through to Detroit’s decaying automotive factories and Los Angeles’ sprawling highway network. Engaging, thought-provoking and visually-arresting, this is one exhibition we strongly urge you to catch. Edward Burtynsky – Oil � Until 28 th February 2010 ☞ Huis Marseille, Amsterdam � www.huismarseille.nl
