On the occasion of the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Lafayette Anticipations invites you to discover its new exhibition, The Gold Rush, from June 22 to September 1, 2024. An artistic leisure park with free and open access, imagined by students of the vocational sector of the Alfred Nobel high school in Clichy-sous-Bois, also offered at the Atelier Médicis in Clichy-sous-Bois from June 1 to July 27, 2024. We visited this artistic park, we tell you everything!
Lafayette Anticipations gets into the time of Olympic Games of Paris 2024 and transforms into a unique playground! The museum offers curious people and art lovers a whole new exposuretitled The gold Rushfrom June 22 to September 1, 2024. Much more than just one exposureit is a total immersion in a leisure park designed by the innovative minds of 40 high school students, in collaboration with the Medici Workshops And ebb.global. These young talents invite us to explore their dreams and concerns through a fun and interactive experience, reflecting a world that is both disordered and ideal. Also note that the Medici Workshops also offers some of the works, from June 1 to July 28, 2024.
This project is the result of meticulous and multi-year work, orchestrated by ebb.global, the teaching staff, and of course, the high school students themselves. The park is intended to be a profound reflection on new sports practices, born from the boundless imagination of these young people, inspired by atypical sporting paths or proposing new rules of the game. The space ofexposureborrowing the visual codes of the entertainment industry, offers a bold alternative to our society, questioning its values and established standards.
The collaboration between the Alfred Nobel high school of Clichy-sous-BoisTHE Medici Workshops And ebb.global thus tend, through this exhibition, to promote the skills of young people and to open new professional paths. The gold Rush does not just offer entertainment: it represents a veritable dream machine, reimagining leisure parks as places of reflection and inspiration. Through models, installations and a manga published for the occasion, this multidisciplinary project offers a unique vision of the great contemporary myths, inviting everyone to let themselves be carried away on a journey to the heart of the collective imagination.
The pitch: Olympic flame has been stolen by a computer hacker and you will have to, through various “attractions”, answer questions to find a code word, defeat the final boss and recover the flame so that it can resume its course. An interactive experience which invites you to try new sporting disciplines, all evolving in a landscape between post-apocalypse and contemporary world.
How it works ? At the reception of Lafayette Anticipationsyou get a QR code (at 5 euros, if you participate, the exhibition remains free if you do not participate), then you go up to the first floor. There, a video reveals the ins and outs of the mission. It’s then up to you to try out the different attractions on offer, very geared towards children (don’t hesitate to come with your family, the exhibition is designed for the youngest). Baby Ninja Warrior, foot-golf, interactive screen, shuttle piloting, hologram, revisited table football, rodeo… something to keep you entertained for a good hour. On the last floor, the final boss will ask you for a code word, allowing you to release the flame (you will still have to “fight” a little…, you will understand once there).
An exhibition/leisure park that we were able to visit during an opening. And it’s particularly pleasant: the attractions are very accessible, easily for children, and the story told through these works/attractions is rather clear… This is rather rare for a contemporary art exhibition. We love ! The interactivity is there, and the modular spaces of Lafayette Anticipations lend themselves particularly well to this type of activity. We have fun scoring goals, testing our agility or even our speed on the different attractions. Some require interaction, others simply contemplation. Also note a mini fashion exhibition at the very end of the experience, to bring a fashionable and sporty touch to the whole thing. A great experience, in short, to discover during the Olympic Games !
So, ready for a fun and colorful trip?
