CNEAI – Le Musée sans bâtiment posters
To celebrate the centenary of the Cité internationale universitaire de Paris, French art center CNEAI (stylized cneai =) activated Le Musée sans bâtiment (“The Museum without a Building”), a proposal by Hungarian-born French architect, urban planner and designer Yona Friedman.
The Musée sans bâtiment is a museum without doors, walls or roofs, open to exhibitions by all, to collections by local residents, to public debates, to social customs, economies and ecologies.
The Museum without a Building consists of some twenty cubes, designed using large steel hoops placed freely on the site. “They serve as a support for artworks made from packaging or other objects: graphic works, collages, photographs or graffiti partly created by the public.” (Yona Friedman) The Museum without a Building is open to all.
For the occasion, designer Odilon Coutarel created a triptych of bright-colored posters, exclusively using Benjamin Dumond’s Michaux in its Regular weight. Symbols and illustrations emulate the typeface’s somewhat chaotic energy.
