Décor n° 02 – Vulgaire

Décor n° 02 – Vulgaire – The second issue of the annual review of the École des Arts Décoratifs, dedicated to the question of vulgarity, explores through creations, portfolios, interviews, fictions and theoretical texts the polysemy of this word that embodies all the tensions of our time, dealing as much with gastronomy and cinema as with grossophobia, glitter and fanzines, yellow vests, Trump and Putin.

Published bythe École des arts décoratifs de Paris, Décor is an annual magazine dedicated to the contemporary environment, which aims to think about the emerging creation in the fields of design, fashion, graphics, video or sculpture, scenography or animation, textile or photography. Through interviews, portfolios, theoretical or fictional texts, each issue takes stock of an issue (“decor”, “vulgar”, “plastic”, “child”…) that structures the environment, representations and social devices.

Décor calls upon authors from different fields of theory (philosophy, art history, human sciences…) as well as from literary and artistic creation. They can be recognized personalities and confirmed specialists as well as students of the School or young talents.
