It points in the direction of the famous gymnasium by le Corbusier where is being displayed a series of significant historical pieces by Jean-Pierre Raynaud. After Xavier Veilhan, Daniel Buren, Dan Graham and Felice Varini, he is the fifth artist to be invited at the MAMO, the Marseille Modulor, an art center created in 2013 thanks to designer Ora Ito. The encounter between Jean-Pierre Raynaud and architect le Corbusier was striking: \u201cI have to respond with something as free as he was. I am not interested in showing my work, but rather in coming together with his architecture. And particularly with this terrace, which is protected and subject to restrictions in terms what one can do.\u201d \u2013 Jean-Pierre Raynaud. *<br \/>\n<span style=\"vertical-align: sub;\">*<\/span><a style=\"vertical-align: sub;\" href=\"https:\/\/mamo.fr\/expositions\/ici-jean-pierre-raynaud\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">source<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/publicartfund\/ai-weiwei-good-fences-make-good-neighbors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kickstarter campaign<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>Ai Weiwei: <em>Good Fences Make Good Neighbors<br \/>\n<\/em><\/strong>Announced a few days ago by the Trump administration, the end of DACA seems to resonate more than ever with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.publicartfund.org\/view\/exhibitions\/6185_ai_weiwei_good_fences_make_good_neighbors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Good Fences Make Good Neighbors<\/em><\/a>, Ai Weiwei\u2019s new artistic project, which was commissioned by the Public Art Fund (New York, United States).
