Press release extract:
In each gallery space visitors will be exposed to different methods of scrutinising the city and processes of urbanization, including practice-led research from art and architecture, ethnography, film-making, graphic design, soundscapes, photography, archival studies and performance.
Raphaële Bidault-Waddington – Paris Galaxies, A Vision for the Greater Paris: Starting from a design for Grand Paris, this is an experimental, artistic and academic project which combines creative inputs and formats with trans-disciplinary theoretical and critical thinking, organizing them in a conceptual model of the urban galaxy in order to design a future strategy for the extended urban area.
