Échantillon-ism October 24, 2009

Our girl Mari Mineiro sent from Paris images of Tomtom, French street artist who cuts  the streets placcards in a very particular way turning them into true art installations.  He calls it échantillon-ism (échantillon= ”sample”, “cut”). The work you see below took a whole week to be done and is like a tribute to Fleury-Mérogis, a prision just outside Paris. He’ll soon open an exhibition at Fondation Cartier, a space in the French capital especialised in contemporary art.
