[Project] Presentation of the TANDEM Projects for Bobigny – Pablo Picasso Station

On the occasion of the unveiling of the 70-artwork collection of the Grand Paris Express, architecturestudio is pleased to present two TANDEM projects:

Bobigny – Pablo Picasso Station with the artist duo Petrit Halilaj & Álvaro Urbano, who presented the work Ensemble aérien.

“A herd of imaginary creatures floats above the station and in the hall. These metallic sculptures invite travelers to envision transport as a process of hybridization, a poetry of movement.” — Petrit Halilaj & Álvaro Urbano

“This work also references a key milestone in the history of modern sculpture, Brancusi’s Endless Column, which has stood at 29 meters in Târgu Jiu, Romania, since 1938.”
