"STASH ! WHEN ADVERTISING MEETS ART..." until' decembre 22nd

Exhibition until saturday decembre 22nd, 2007
Free entrance


What if, for once, one would give you the urge to watch TV commercials? the "Stash, when advertising meets art" exhibition is holding the bet and presents genuine creative films, art objects miles away from purely commercial advertising productions. Funny or dead serious, baroque or radical, complex or minimalist, every single film selected for the exhibition should be watched as a trule artistic creation, an artwork self-existing apart from the products or brands they're suppose to endorse...


Relationships between advertising and art forever fueled debates, cross-arguments and conflicts. Often criticized, even rejected because of its commercial and mercantile aspect, advertising is nevertheless a ephemeral art form feeding itself from every trends and sociological streams of the society of men.

Brands, for a long time, called for artist to often come up with creative jewels. Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Arman or fashion designer John Galliano are example amongst other of artist working for major brands. Directors like Ridley Scott, Wim Wenders, Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Woody Allen, Michel Gondry or Spike Jonze also successfully faced the adverting challenge.


The "Stash!" exhibition invites you to a journey in the best advertising commercials (TV or viral) ever made those past few years. This selection was made collaboratively with the "Stash" DVD magazine, one and only monthly display for commercial animations, shorts, VFX and motion graphics work for design and advertising.
