La Coupure #2


| La Coupure

La Coupure is releasing its second edition on the street walls in Paris since April 2019.

La Coupure is an initiative born in 2018 to denounce specific abuses of power within art institutions (art centres, museums, galleries, art schools…) and to reveal – with a touch of humour – some of the issues that hegemonic cultural policies are hiding.

Here are some images of their latest poster campaign and a download link of their new issue. You can contact them at the following address:
