PEOPLE AND STREET ART

I share today my last work about interactions between People and Street art.
I have been back to Europe for 3 years now and finally didn't feed this blog anymore. A vacation trip to NYC this June, gave me the opportunity to build this new serie with all shots from Manhattan and Brooklyn except one from Lille.

" Windows That Talk " - Lille - France

This first sunny spring day finally pushed me outside ...

Back to the streets , back to the blog!

This week the event les fenêtres qui parlent took place in Lille Fives, 

in a small block of 3 streets.  

In the North using one's window 

to show, to share, to let know, is a cultural practice.

The window is the border between the public and the private,

 it is the space of dialogue between the inside and the outside.

The window itself already talked to me...

This one wasn't set for the festival but it took beautifully part of it

ECLECTIC BRUSSELS

From Art Nouveau to Street Art, a quick glance of Brussels with lovely places and arty people.

After you will deserve a break to rest, Hinterland Urban Refuge was my favorite coffee shop

Roubaix , Fr, La Condition Publique, Street Generation.

Street Generation is a new exhibition in Roubaix, northern France. 

Roubaix could be a ghost city, after years of prosperity with textile industry, Roubaix became the poorest city of France, but with so many old industrial buildings Roubaix has the potential to become  a new Bushwick. 

La Condition Publique has been an old place of storage for textile materials during 70 years and after being closed in 1972 became an abandoned building in the poorest neighborhood of Roubaix, the PILE. In 2003 a big project converted the historic building in a new cultural center.

Until June 18th,  the retrospective exhibition dedicated to 40 years of street art will be present with the participation of 50 famous artists in and outside the walls of La Condition Publique.

From the rooftop the first look to the inside exhibit but the best is to begin with a walk in the streets of the Pile, this neighborhood where most of houses are walled.

Not sure this is part of the event....
