Art Station: a Val-d'Oise building transformed into an ephemeral museum of urban and contemporary art

For some time now, street artists have been called upon to embellish buildings due to disappear or undergoing transition. These include the"Friche Babcock" in Seine-Saint-Denis, the"Permis de Démolir" in Val-de-Marne and the"Festival Planète Périphérique" in eastern Paris.

Since September 23, another building has been taken over by more than 50 street artists. It's the former "Maison des Associations " in Ermont, Val-d'Oise. The building is in the process of being transformed into an ephemeral museum of urban and contemporary art. To be discovered until October 28, 2023 only, this veritable collective creative space has been christened"Art Station"!
