Playtime Paris trend spaces

Each season, both well-known and yet to be discovered artists collaborate to the trend spaces at Playtime Paris.
Using artwork specially created for Playtime, they create installations that bring together art and trends.
Four trend spaces will be present at Playtime:

‘Freaks Show’ Theme by
Marianne Schricke

Currently working as an Art Director for a communications agency in Lyon, France, Marianne Schricke is just as talented in the domain of multimedia and interactive design as she is in graphics and global design. The versatile designer likes to play with graphic design in her spare time, mixing manual techniques and technical skills.
Don’t miss her fabulous Virago in an oneiric setting that oscillates between horror and poetry. An ambiguous character with hybrid looks, this paper sculpture shows a strong and virile woman who is surrounded by floating acolytes.

‘Curious Carrousel’ Theme by
Gwendoline Perrigueux

‘Bitstream Charter’, A party may come to mind / everything’s all jumbled up / domestic objects mix with all sorts of materials / these varied assemblages evoke something common / outside of the context of habitat, the domestic doesn’t make sense, it becomes strange, almost exotic / everything gets activated in a sort of acid colored festivity / the influences are blurred / this atmosphere is nothing but ephemeral / liquid is suspended in a solid state / hard and soft are difficult to tell apart / unrecognizable objects no longer have their original function / did we miss something? / artifice seems totally natural / flashy jewelry dresses up with sequins / hybrid shapes explode with bright colors / it’s a fiesta / in this joyful mess, something rings a bell, a troubled party that contaminates this sweetened superficiality / no one’s there.
So who will catch the brass ring on this curious carrousel?
Gwendoline Perrigueux
‘Bitstream Charter’,  is an artist-sculptor, and a recent graduate of the Beaux Arts de Paris. Behind the bright colors that are usually found in her installations, hides a reflection about the real and the ephemeral, sometimes revealing the dark side of our “joyful” society.
