Artist Liam Gillick reflects on his 35-year friendship with gallerist Florence Bonnefous, co-founder of Air de Paris, through a list of 35 personal observations. The text recounts memories of early exhibitions in Nice, the gallery's informal ethos, and Bonnefous's commitment to radical politics, truth-telling, and supporting artists who dissolve boundaries. Gillick describes the gallery as a place where exhibition-as-form takes precedence over individual artworks, and where economic sense often yields to artistic sense.
