Origami Street Art by Mademoiselle Maurice
Using hundreds of origami, she temporarily redecorated the walls of Paris with colorful street art that everyone can appreciate.
Beyond the appearances, Mademoiselle Maurice seeks to deepen the link between individuals who form that human network which we belong and we frequent every day.

Pop-Up Dinner
In the golden light of an early-summer evening, thousands of Parisians dressed entirely in white converged on two of the city’s most picturesque locations — 4,400 of them in the plaza at the cathedral of Notre Dame; 6,200 in a courtyard of the Louvre — for a feast that was neither advertised nor publicly heralded. They had brought along not only their own epicurean repasts but also their own tables, chairs, glasses, silver and napery.
At midnight, after dining and dancing, they packed up their dishes, stowed their empty Champagne bottles in trash bags brought for that purpose, stooped to pick up their cigarette butts from the cobbles and departed. The landmarks were left immaculate, with no traces of the revelry of the previous three hours.

Waste Landscape
Elise Morin and Clémence Eliard have created the Wastelandscape installation at theCENTQUATRE in Paris, France.
“Waste Landscape” is a 600 square meters artificial undulating landscape covered by an armor of 60 000 unsold or collected CDs, which have been sorted and hand-sewn. It is well known that CDs are condemned to gradually disappear from our daily life, and to later participate in the construction of immense open-air, floating or buried toxic waste reception centers. Made of petroleum, this reflecting slick of CDs forms a still sea of metallic dunes: the monumental scale of the art work reveals the precious aspect of a small daily object. The project joins a global, innovative and committed approach, from its means of production until the end of its “life”.

JR owns the biggest art gallery in the world. He exhibits freely in the streets of the world, catching the attention of people who are not the museum visitors. His work mixes Art and Act, talks about commitment, freedom, identity and limit.
After he found a camera in the Paris subway, he did a tour of European Street Art, tracking the people who communicate messages via the walls. Then, he started to work on the vertical limits, watching the people and the passage of life from the forbidden undergrounds and roofs of the capital.
As he remains anonymous and doesn’t explain his huge full frame portraits of people making faces, JR leaves the space empty for an encounter between the subject/protagonist and the passer-by/interpreter.
This is what JR is working on. Raising questions…

Let’s Colour Project - Walls are Dancing
http://www.wallsaredancing.fr - Three artists. Three walls. Three cities.
This summer, we invited mural painter MWM ( http://mwmgraphics.com ) to create a series of live painting performances on walls in Marseille, Lyon and Paris, under people’s eyes. Directors Le Groupuscule captured the evolution of each mural, gathering over 700,000 pictures, that were edited to an unreleased track by Monsieur Monsieur (http://www.myspace.com/monsieurmonsie… ): “Walls Are Dancing”, to create this music video.
This collaboration of 3 artistic disciplines to make walls dance is part of the Let’s Colour Project. (http://www.letscolourproject.com).
