Charlotte Dutoit is an entrepreneur and curator, founder of Justkids a women-led company that collaborates with artists (like Shepard Fairey, Vhils, Camille Walala, Felipe Pantone,  or Frank Stella…) to make public art, and curate festivals like Life Is Beautiful in Las Vegas. Charlotte Dutoit also connects brands with artists for successful collaborations. In this episode, we will discuss how a company that makes outdoor exhibitions can deal with the pandemic situation. What is it to be a woman entrepreneur and how public art can be more inclusive. We also try to clear the debate about the use of art by brands and artists’ integrity.

Augustine Kofie explique comment, après plus de 20 ans de pratique, il a été amené à faire ses collages et ses peintures abstraits. Depuis son enfance où sa mère lui fabrique des vêtements customisés, il prend l’habitude de récupérer des matériaux divers pour les inclure dans ses oeuvres. Le graffiti et la culture hip-hop avec le sampling, dont il s’inspire, l’aident à forger son style. Il trouve enfin une inspiration supplémentaire dans la peinture constructiviste ou chez des artistes comme Lee Bontecou, Ed Moses ou encore des architectes comme Lebbeus Woods ou Antonio Sant’Elia.

He finally finds an additional inspiration in the constructivist painting or in artists like Lee Bontecou, Ed Moses or even architects like Lebbeus Woods or Antonio Sant’Elia.

Augustine Kofie est un artiste urbain de Los Angeles connu pour ses abstractions et considéré comme le pionnier du graffuturisme. Issu d’une famille d’artistes et intéressé par les arts manuels, le graphisme et le dessin, il évolue d’abord dans le milieu du skateboard. Il y découvre un univers culturellement riche et varié en termes de musique et de références artistiques. De petits projets générés au hasard des rencontres, il plonge peu à peu dans l’expression qui deviendra son art.
