Le Riot Classique

Available · one owner only

Archive note

A fictional French New Wave musical collaboration between Cheech & Chong, presented as a lost 18th-century salon painting retrofitted with bold modernist typography. The poster conflates classical European high culture with 1970s counterculture comedy, suggesting an alternate history where the duo released a concept album or performed a theatrical piece in a Parisian gallery. A document of a cultural collision that never happened, appealing to those who collect artifacts of impossible cultural hybrids.
