The Elvis-Picasso Gallery (see above), in the Ville de Nulle Parts is a significant contribution to art gallery and museum design. Based on a sketch found by Elvis-Picasso in an Amsterdam bar, the unique layout and floor plans have permitted untold freedom in what such institutions can offer. While it has no access for the disabled and handicapped, the outdoor courtyard does provide high-technology media presentations for them and for the many visitors who are obliged to wait and queue for entry. The architects, Fosters and Partners would be delighted at the fine construction which was carried out by cheap immigrant labour from Mexico!

This stunning building, based upon some design concepts by Elvis-Picasso, was realized by Melbourne, and internationally reknown, particularly in Farnborough and the slums of Zanzibar, architects: Denton, Corker & Marshall, of North Melbourne, Australia.

This year Elvis-Picasso will be opening his studio in to the general public. On show will be a series of 'Works in Progress'; some archive materials of what some have described as, 'Works That Have Mysteriously Gone Missing From Certain Collections'; a large collection of 'Rust'; and many other objects and thrills.

A complimentary buffet and barbeque with selected Australian wines, including a tasting of a selection of 'Penfold's Grange' 1900-2000 (depending upon availability), will be offered to punters at tea thoughout the opening weeks (april 1 2010 to june 5, 2010).
