Marc-André 2 Figuères dédicacera les 2 affiches (nuit/jour) qu'il a dessiné pour les prestigieuses fêtes de Collioure, lors du vernissage de son exposition "Baigneuses à Collioure" le 17 aout 2013 à partir de 17h.

The Postal Service broke new ground and gave ma2f the task of designing the first "empty" stamp in the history of philately. It was made for the principality of Andorra.

ProjeCt /// Points 2 Vue FOR THE PRINCIPALITY OF ANDORRA



P2V stamp by ma2f-points2vue

The artist MA2F proposes to install 7 Points 2 vue® on the site of the 7 parishes that make up the principality of Andorra.

The installation will take up the space of the 7 parishes with sculptures that are shaped like empty frames to highlight the site not in its pictorial form but in reality, a reality that is closely linked to the spectator's point of view. The sculpture-frames are not set up randomly but according to a precise objective; a Point2vue that has not only to do with the object but also with the approach.
The eye penetrates the frame and glides towards the site that has been selected. It holds within it the world thanks to its global perception and appears both as the symbol and the instrument of a revelation. This in-situ installation is also interesting in that the vision according to MA2F is a perfect hyper-figuration, it is reality itself, open to all interpretations and none of these interpretations takes away from the others nor do they caricature a single point of view. This reality can only fully exist through an in situ installation; even taking a photograph through the frame reduces it.

Through this creation the artist is able to take his work outside of the workshop in order to become involved in the life of the region, not for decoration but as a social and political act.
This essential motivation enables original interactions between diverse elements, the town and the site, the artist who is inspired by it and the public's imagination. The public is then invited to create their own personal museum free of the constraints one encounters in traditional museums. Moreover, the work represents an unquestionable asset for the prestige of the site in which it is installed...

PHILATELY /// POINTS 2 VUE® AND POSTAL STAMPS

This approach follows the artist MA2F's design and the edition of the "punts de viste – visita Andorra" (see image below) stamp, in collaboration with the philately department of the Paris Postal Service (edition for May 2012/principality of Andorra) on the same basis as the installation in Collioure.
