Rock icon Patti Smith shares memories at first Paris art...
Deep leather armchairs, carpets and a guitar. Step into Patti Smith's living-room at a Paris art show... PARIS, March 28, 2008 - Deep leather armchairs, carpets and a guitar.
Step into Patti Smith's living-room at a Paris art show opening this week for
a rare glimpse into the 1970s punk rock diva's inner world over four decades.
"Since 1967 I've been drawing, painting, taking photographs, writing
poetry," the long-haired 61-year-old Chicago-born "godmother of punk" said at
a news conference hursday on the eve of the opening of her first big
exhibition.
"This exhibition gives me an opportunity to share the work I've been doing
in another way than in music," she said.
"In rock'n'roll I speak out on human rights, or against war. In other
fields of art I express my own inner world which is not political."
Smith, perhaps best known for numbers such as "Horses", "Gloria" or
"Because The Night" will also perform at the Fondation Cartier arthouse over the next couple of weeks along with cohorts such as cult 1970s New York
underground figure Tom Verlaine, as well as Fred Frith and Ted Milton.
Other days, Smith's tall son Jackson plans to hang out on the leather sofa
"just like the one at home" to play guitar or talk music with visitors.
Her daughter Jesse will also be at the Paris show, playing piano when her mother gives a reading of Virginia Woolf.
"It's the beginning of a dialogue between me and the people to show the
diversity of my world," said Smith, wearing her habitual jeans, white shirt
and waistcoat, before picking up a guitar and breaking into song.
But the inner world unveiled at the expo stands in stark and silent
