Every day until April 30, twenty renowned graphic and urban artists will show their work on the walls of this historic site. Exclusively on the web, discover live the process of the evolution of a their work.
Marcel Proust liked to come here for a shower and a calva coffee. You could bump into ?Depeche Mode, Andy Warhol, Karl Lagerfeld or Joy Division in the 70?s and 80?s. Cathy and David Guetta were resident in the 90s. The list of celebrities who frequented this institution is long. A meeting point between the world of entertainment, media and arts is legendary. And despite a history that dates back over 130 years, the famous Bains Douches in the capital almost disappeared in 2010 for health and safety reasons due to illegal work. Because supporting ?walls have weakened, inviting the public to this temporary artistic residency is no longer possible. This is why the works presented are posted on a dedicated online site.
The Restoration of les Bains
To keep this icon of Paris, the historical owners of the site created Corporation Des Bains in 2011. The complete restoration of the building is directed by Vincent Bastie and the interior decoration is managed by Denis Montel. The baths will be reborn in 2014 in a new form while preserving the spirit of place? A private house, a club, a hotel? Before discovering this, the place is now vacant for the first time in 128 years.
Artist residency
Why not make the most of the site by creating a giant canvas? Commissioned by Magda Danyz, a new generation of international talent creates an ephemeral work on the walls. Among them, the golden class of Street Art: Ash (Netherlands), Atlas, Futura (USA), Space INVADER, SOWAT, Sten Lex (Italy), Vhils (Portugal), G?rard Zlotykamien? For nearly four months, ?these pioneers will pay tribute to the artistic DNA of Bains.
Day by Day: One day, an artist
Do you want to see in real time the evolution of an artist?s work? Until April 30, the event reveals works exclusively on the web. From the start to finish, this visual tracking of ?work in progress? provides a detailed update on the artistic development of each participant. An interactive view of 360 ?.
