Les Arts Décoratifs
107, Rue de Rivoli
75001 Paris
France



Les Arts Décoratifs is inviting eight french graphic designers: Akatre, Jocelyn Cottencin, Helmo, Christophe Jacquet, Fanette Mellier, Mathias Schweizer, Pierre Vanni and Vier5. The Recto-Verso.

8 pièces graphiques exhibition explores the problematic relationship between the graphic designer’s commissioned works and personal projects, and thus also between fine art and applied art. In short, is the graphic designer essentially a communication technician or an artist?
Each of the eight graphic designers will use a room in the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in their own original way, showing both commissioned works and personal projects: posters, performances, videos, photographs, installations, comics strips and artistic collaborations in creative fields as diverse as dance, literature, fashion and music. The joint presentation of these two “categories” of work shows how their mutual porosity will eventually result in the construction of a single artistic and formal universe.
