Création : le blog de la création: the rise of planners art. Advertising in France has traditionally had a relatively lower status than in the UK or the US because of its repetitive faux pas: it mixes creativity with commerce. So you’ll understand my confusion when, after a few art exhibitions in Paris, I came to the conclusion that there is a definite trend towards more pragmatic art. More of the contemporary art put on a pedestal today could be the work of a creative planner.
This year’s Turner prize winner also seems to support this theory. Last month Paris hosted FIAC – the annual fair of contemporary art - a good place where to test the pulse of the art people are buying today. Over 200 galleries from around the world showed off the artists they represent and champion. After half an hour at the event I began to seriously question one of those fine theories about the difference between creativity in advertising and that in art.
Clearly FIAC 2004 proved this theory to be a load of bollocks. Here’s my selection. filippo dellosso. The box doodle project // boxdoodle.com. TED | Speakers. Daily Rituals of the World. Msurveys.com. Menti.net. Die Gestalten. Lifestyle Magazine. Agenda Inc. Live Feed.
