As a response to the devastation caused by Superstorm Sandy, Groundswell unveiled a series of murals addressing healing and recovery in New York City communities among the neighborhoods most affected by the storm. Groundswell youth artists, in partnership with Master Artist Swoon and Groundswell artists Yana Dimitrova, Angel Garcia, Jazmine Hayes, and Misha Tyutyunik, created a visual narrative that captures the concerns, hopes and overall spirits of these communities.

GO TO KICKSTARTER HERE
Dithyrambalina will be a sonic playground, performance venue and laboratory for musical architecture in New Orleans.
Two years ago New Orleans Airlift and the artist Swoon launched the Kickstarter campaign that funded The Music Box, our prototype for an ongoing musical architecture project we call Dithyrambalina. That proof-of-concept was more successful than we ever believed possible! We transformed a blighted 150-year-old house into a temporary village of playable musical houses with interactive instruments embedded into the walls, floors and ceilings of structures. The Music Box welcomed over 15,000 visitors for days of interactive public exploration and nights of ground-breaking concerts, as well as over 500 students for engaging workshops. To our great amazement the New York Times, NPR, BBC World Service, Smithsonian Magazine, Times Picayune, ArtNet, Canal Plus and more reported on the magic of this project.

Out now in New Zealand !

In September Quentin will inaugurate two site-specific commissioned pieces: a fountain in the city of Mulhouse, as well as a monumental sculpture in the entrance hall of La Défense’s new tower. 

Il y a quelques semaines nous avons reçu à la galerie la série ‎#LaFashionWheel pour Peugeot Cycles présentée par Marc Beaugé (Canal+/Le Supplément, M le magazine du Monde, SoFilm le magazine). Le résultat donne un mini city guide de Paris auquel on est ravi d’avoir contribué !
