π Paris Exploration | A Romantic and Free Artistic Utopia
β² Rue de Rivoli is a grand avenue in Paris, stretching about three kilometers long, flanked by the world-renowned Louvre Museum, as well as numerous luxurious hotels, high-end boutiques, and exquisite cafes. Among these refined establishments, the independent and unconventional 59 Rue de Rivoli stands out, with its six-story exterior decorated with tattered bedsheets, old pipes, and jeans and underwear larger than the windows themselves, exuding a carefree and edgy vibe, much like a daring trendsetter with a powerful presence. β² A World of Artistic Freedom Today, 59 Rue de Rivoli is home to over 30 artists, with 20 residing permanently and the remaining 10 or so changing every three to six months. Adhering to tradition, the studios here are open to the public free of charge every afternoon, providing an opportunity for close encounters with artists at work, allowing the public to witness the creative process. β¨This place is not a conventional art museum or gallery; it is simply where 30 artists come to work. β¨Upon entering the building, you'll find the spiral staircase walls covered in vibrant graffiti, which is updated every so often. As you visit each floor's studio, you might encounter messy worktables, stuffed studios, unfinished works, installations made from miscellaneous objects, occasional dark humor in the corners, and the chance to interact with artists present, listening to their stories. #Paris #ParisTravel #Europe #ParisArtWandering #ParisExploration
