Mit ihrer Video-Skulptur »Les larmes d'acier« (Stählerne Tränen) schuf die Belgierin Marie Jo Lafontaine 1987 eine Arbeit für die documenta 8 in Kassel, die weit über das übliche Maß Aufsehen erregte und im Gedächtnis geblieben ist. Das war der internationale Durchbruch einer Künstlerin, die schon vorher große Beachtung gefunden hatte, nun aber allgemein gelobt wurde als Wegweiserin in eine neue Dimension von Video-Kunst. Es gebe keinen europäischen Video-Künstler, so David Galloway, der mit solch virtuoser Meisterschaft sein Metier beherrsche. Doch auch mit ihren Fotoarbeiten und Environments mehrte sie über die Jahre ihr Renommee in der internationalen Fachwelt. Nach dem 1992 bei Cantz publizierten Band »Immaculata« erscheint jetzt in enger Zusammenarbeit mit Marie Jo Lafontaine ein delikat gestaltetes Künstlerbuch mit den verschiedenen Aspekten ihres Werkes der letzten fünfzehn Jahre, in dem es vor allem um existenzielle Bedingungen menschlichen Daseins geht: Video- Skulpturen, Fotoarbeiten mit monochromer Malerei und Text sowie Rauminstallationen. Sorgfältig ausgewähltes Bildmaterial, Texte und Textzitate von Schriftstellern und Philosophen zeichnen ein komplexes Porträt dieser sensiblen wie kraftvollen Künstlerpersönlichkeit. (Englische Ausgabe erhältlich ISBN 3- 89322-947-7.) Zur Künstlerin: Marie Jo Lafontaine *1950 in Antwerpen. 1975-1979 Studium an der Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture et des Arts Visuels La Cambre, Brüssel. 1977 Prix de la Jeune Peinture Belge. 1981 Grand Prix de la Littérature Argilienne von Pierre Restany. 1990 Gastdozentin an der Sommerakademie, Salzburg. 1992 Professorin am Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie, Karlsruhe. Ausstellungen in wichtigen internationalen Galerien und Museen.

REALLY CUTE SHOE BUT CUT WAY TOO SMALL!
Size: 8, Color: Black Patent
I received the black patent leather shoes today and they are so cute! Sadly I need to return them because they are cut way too small. I normally wear a 7.5 or 8 on dress shoes so I ordered the 8. They are so tight across the top that it's uncomfortable as soon as I put them on. They are smaller than a normal size 8 dress shoe. The big toe area is extremely uncomfortable because it doesn't allow any room for it at all, so my big toe just presses against the side and end of the shoe without even walking in them. I have very narrow feet and these still are too small for me. So I am returning them and I already ordered a 8.5 W and hope that will fit much better. The patent leather is very cute and adds just enough dressy that I can wear them with slacks or my Capri jeans. I like the slip on and the cushion foot bed because it feels soft.

Love these flats!
Size: 9 Wide, Color: Black White Faux Snake Skin, Size: 9 Wide, Color: Black White Faux Snake Skin
One of my favorite pair of flats! I’ve had these for several years and they are still comfortable, in good shape and really add a little spice to my outfits. I can wear these all day and not have any foot pain or discomfort as a result. The quality is good, fit is perfect and I tend to have difficulty with shoes due to bunions. Love these!!

LOVE LOVE.
Size: 7.5 Wide, Color: Beige
I love these shoes so much I had to write a review. So comfortable. Cushioned. Fits perfectly especially if you are more on the wide side. They are soft. Flexible. Easy slip ons you can walk around in all day. I want to try more colors.
