This year, mudac is taking part in Design Days from 12 to 15 June 2025 with an artwork that has recently entered the collec­tion: Affiches-arti­fices by the duo Pinaffo & Pluvin­age.

With this project, Pinaffo & Pluvin­age appeal to our child­hood memor­ies and seek to create surprise by offer­ing us an ephem­eral spec­tacle in the style of fire­works. Using mixtures of screen-print­ing inks and pyro­tech­nic powders derived from their own research, and draw­ing inspir­a­tion from the sequence diagrams used by fire­works engin­eers, the artists create chain-reac­tion patterns on paper. These are then trans­formed into genu­ine spec­tacles in which sparks and coloured flames inter­mingle for almost a minute, immor­tal­ised by video.

Acquired in 2022, these posters are now part of the mudac collec­tion, which will be celeb­rat­ing its 25^th anniversary on Saturday 23 August. To mark the occa­sion, the museum invites you to a day of fest­iv­it­ies, clos­ing with the burn­ing of the Affiches-arti­fices at dusk.
