SHOTLIST DATE: Oct 22, 2012 LOCATION: PARIS SOURCE: AFPTV - VAR of apartment SOUNDBITE 1 Britt Moran, Dimore Studio (English, 21 sec): "The event this evening is called Squat. It's the first of what hopefully will be many, and we were lucky enough to work with one of our clients who has several different appartments here in Paris. He gave us one of the appartments which was empty and we decided to occupy the space." - VAR of apartment - Balice in apartment - Photograph in apartment SOUNDBITE 2 Daniele Balice, Balice Hertling (English, 14 sec): "The challenge, the intellectual challenge let's say for us, was to bring out of the white cubes the art works that are usually made for that context. So we also brought the artists here to make sure that they were OK with that and they were very excited." - VAR of apartment - Visitors in apartment ------------------------------------------------ NO AFP TEXT STORY
