Tour Paris 13 is quite a remarkable art project. Located in a building in the 13th arr. slated to be demolished later this year, Tour Paris 13 is a collaboration of Galerie Itinerrance along with the 13th arr. city hall working with the cooperation of building’s landlord to bring forth a most original art installation. One hundred street artists from around the globe were invited to participate and each one was given a designated floor to ceiling space.
Tour Paris 13 is now open till the end of the month and will go down in history as the largest street art group exhibition ever with 4500 meters and 9 floors, 36 four and five room apartments, with some still furnished.
The result has created a new art cult: I went yesterday to see it and the line stretched around the block with young and old art lovers patiently camped out waiting the see the art wonders inside. I tried a assess how long it would take to get in and asked some people near the front of the line how long they had been waiting. I was there at 2:45 and they had been waiting since 10AM, with at least another 30-minute wait. The exhibit only allows 49 visitors at a time thus the long wait. I didn’t have time to wait that long, so I was a bit disappointed. However, I made lemonade out of lemons, and photographed the outside murals and artwork, so now you get at least a taste of Tour Paris 13. Enjoy!
