ENCORE - Blurring the lines: David Altmejd on his paradoxical art

He likes to explore the distinctions between interior and exterior, life-like and surreal, the grotesque and the beautiful, and the result is a weird and wondrous Brothers Grimm-like world. Canadian artist David Altmejd joins Jade Barker to discuss his paradoxical art as it goes on display at Paris’ Museum of Modern Art.

Also on the show, we check out the ultimate arty party. Jeudi Arty is a tri-annual event which sees dozens of galleries in Paris’ Marais district opening their doors late into the night, serving wine with their works in a bid to change contemporary art’s elitist image.
