A new art exhibition called "Saint Gael" by founding ACT UP member and artist Vincent Gagliostro opened in Paris yesterday at the Miss China Beauty Gallery.
Gagliostro in a statement: "SAINT GAEL (RE-USED) statement: 1. (with a predatory gleam in his eye): 'heaven’s mouth' - I thought, tearing his image from the magazine. The most beautiful mouth I had ever seen - Gael Garcia Bernal - a new subject. Further retrieving images from numerous official and unofficial websites, it seemed I was moving from my original focus on his beauty to an encounter with my surpressed voyeuristic nature. Predatory nature. Musical nature. Music, because what I seemed to be on to was a kind of 'sampling' much like a DJ/record producer does when creating a work. Studying his (GGB) film 'Y Tu Mama Tambien', I started re-sequencing the images, removing bits here, adding bits there."
