Paris '68 Redux
Paris '68 Redux reinterprets the work of the “Atelier Poplulaire”. The “AP” were groups of students, union members and everyone coming together (in Paris May, 1968), work-shopping ideas, then voting on which ones to mass produce, printing tons and going straight out to fly post Paris.
For their work check out this mega book: Beauty Is in the Street by Philippe Vermès, Johan Kugelberg.
