JR and OSGEMEOS collaborative work in Paris

September 1, 2016

French artist JR and OSGEMEOS were invited by Palais de Tokyo in Paris to do a collaborative work in part of the underground tunnels of the institution, located next to the river Seine.

During World War II  (1939-1944), those galleries were used as hiding places, where the nazis kept pianos they had stolen from homes and music schools from the time they invaded France.

For security reasons, the tunnel will be closed to the public, but the works will be kept there as a collection from the museum. The installations are part of the Lasco project, from Palais de Tokyo, which is focused in debating urban violence and social tensions among other themes.
