M.U.R. - the "wall" - again...


This is not the first time I talk about this “wall” (see here previous post), which since 2007 is redecorated about every two weeks by a street artist. It’s administered by an association (yes, I’m a member), named M.U.R. (Modulable Urbain Réactif), with partners like the City of Paris, Centre Pompidou, Fondation Cartier, Canal+… Almost every street artist who “counts” has performed here. (Please note that “mur” in French means “wall”.)

Last Saturday I went again to watch ”Seth” (Julien Malland), on whom I have already posted e.g. here and here - see some examples of what he has done in Paris.

You can find the “wall”, Rue Oberkampf. There is always a crowd to watch … and you, and the artist, can make a break in the well situated bar / restaurant.

Ever since childhood, I've been absolutely reverential to anybody that can draw and paint like this....

Thank you so much, M. Peter.

Bonjour cher Peter,

Je viens de m'apercevoir qu'il y avait bien longtemps que je n'étais pas venue te visiter !!
Aussi je viens de faire un retour en arrière dans tes publications.
A chaque fois tu me fais découvrir et rencontrer des personnages étonnants, des lieux fascinants...
Tes superbes photos accompagnées de commentaires remarquables attisent ma curiosité.
Je viens de faire grâce à toi, à plus de 500 km de chez moi une très belle escapade dans Paris.

Gros bisous ❀

ce MUR ne me dérange pas du tout, il faut bien que les artiste des bombes de couleur s'expriment.

It would be so much fun to watch "Seth" (or any of the talented street artists of Paris) create a work on this wall. Maybe when I'm there next time.
