Art: Raphaël Zarka’s Skateable Sculpture At Centre Pompidou

Forget the “culture clash” - we love when cultures mesh seamlessly and things just feel right at first site. Enter French artist Raphael Zarka’s “Cycloïde Piazza”, a sculptural skatepark installation meant to resemble a town square. The mechanics of the skaters seen on the premises mirrors the classical swings and dings the French are known for perfecting, and the completion of the park in time for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris means this will likely be a scenic destination for locals and world travelers alike.
