PIAFS !

Funny Parisian Birds

A travelling exhibition with illustrations in augmented reality curated by Errratum & Maison Tangible, based on an original idea from Amaël Isnard, Emmanuelle Leleu and Benjamin Flouw.

Grumpy, in a rush, or romantic, Parisians are some funny kind of birds. “Journal Errratum” and “Maison Tangible” are inviting 15 artists to draw with humour the Parisian clichés.

All the images will be presented in a exhibition that will be travelling around Paris and elsewhere in France - and hopefully also around the world!

THE 15 ARTISTS

Mt_piafs_kkbb_titrages_03_noms-1511457857

“Journal Errratum” – contemporary illustration magazine – and “Maison Tangible” – publisher of images and graphic objects – teamed up to publish a serie of illustrations about funny Parisian birds.

A hipster blackbird, ducks swimming at the Aquaboulevard, or a swallow waiting for spring at a café, the PIAFS ! exhibition gathers 15 artists, 15 unique images that can be animated with augmented reality, 15 different ways of seeing the Parisians, no matter if you’re a tourist on a holiday romance or a proud descendant of the local native.

Today we need your support, in order to finalise the project and let our birds fly away to new destinations.

That is why we are doing pre-sales, at reduced prices for all our backers, and we will be sending all rewards before Christmas*!

Backing this exhibition is the perfect occasion to do an original present and support an artistic project at the same time.

(*parcels will be sent around the 18th of December)

MORE ABOUT THE PROJECT

“PIAFS !” is an augmented reality exhibition. Thanks to the mobile app from Maison Tangible, all these birds come to life just in front of your eyes. On posters, postcards or on a website, anywhere you see the birds, you can make them fly ! Just download the app (available for free on iOS and Android) and fly over the images to make them move!

THE 4 DIFFERENT FORMATS

Mt_piafs_kkbb_03_formats-1511539149

* LARGE POSTER / 50 x 70 cm - Numbered Digigraphie

* POSTER A3 / 30 x 40 cm - Numbered Digigraphie

* SMALL POSTER A4 / 20 x 30 cm - Numbered Digigraphie

PIAFS ! has been conceived as a nomad exhibition, modular and easily accessed. It will be shown in several venues (galleries, shops, events connected to the art scene) from Winter 2017 onwards. We want to make it live as long as possible. And maybe, in the future, add some new birds or new cities.

WHAT IS AUGMENTED REALITY?

Augmented reality is a technical process that creates the illusion that virtual objects are integrated in our physical world. With the “Maison Tangible AR” app - available on iOS and Android - you can bring your images to life through your smartphone or tablet.

THE FIRST EXHIBITION

We are happy to present the collection, in world premiere, at the great event Les Puces de l’Illustration at Bagnolet (93). Maison Tangible and Errratum are partners of the event this year and you will be able to live the experience in augmented reality the 9th and 10th December, at Campus Fonderie de l’Image.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

We want to reduce the steps in the production to offer affordable objects, ethic and fair-trade. The large posters will be printed in Digigraphie on heavyweight paper in our studio in Paris, to insure the best quality possible.

The artists and the people behind this project are volunteers and give their time to propose original art to the public.

THE TEAM

From the beginning to the end of this adventure, the project is supported by a few people who decided to volunteer themselves.

-The original idea

Amael Isnard, Emmanuelle Leleu and Benjamin Flouw are friends and artists too. One day, they imagine what kind of bird the Parisians are… Illustrations come to life, it’s the beginning of the serie…

-The production

Maison Tangible is a publishing house of illustrations and manufactured objects. Working as an non-profit organization, it invites artists to create posters, postal cards, games, wooden games… Highly motivated by the birds illustrations, Maison Tangible starts to think about an augmented reality collection based on this theme and about the creation of a nomad exhibition to show the illustrations to the people.

Maison Tangible starts to work with Errratum (after few others collaborations) to imagine the final shape of the project.

The Journal Errratum, a reference in the contemporary illustrations magazines, knows well the three artists since it already published their work in its newspaper, and it’s with a huge enthusiasm that it starts to support the adventure on the social network to contact other artists and give to the project a concrete framework to the collection and the exhibition.
