Colorado Yurts in the Grand Palais
Yurts In Paris!
 
25 Colorado Yurts
Take Center Stage
At Paris Art Show 
 
Greetings!

Colorado Yurt Company yurts have been pitched in many interesting and extreme places, from deserts to rainforests. We've seen it all. Or at least we thought we had until this year when our yurts went up somewhere entirely new, downtown Paris, France. Twenty-five Colorado Yurts are now pitched in France's Grand Palais for a video art exhibition entitled "6 Billion Others."

Renowned photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand and the association Good Planet created a beautifully illuminated yurt village in the Grand Palais and turned the yurts into mini-cinemas. Each yurt-theater displays a film of everyday people responding to some of life's most important questions. In one yurt people speak about the impact of war on their lives; another shows people talking about how to make love endure. In total, Arthus-Bertrand filmed over 6,000 people from 65 countries.                                                                                                             
The effect is stunning. The yurts are dwarfed by theYurts dwarfed by Grand Palais enormous vaulted glass ceiling of the palace, but visitors feel sheltered as they wander from yurt to yurt. They can even film their own segment for the project.

The artwork is a humanitarian triumph. It speaks to peoples' needs and desires to build healthy and meaningful lives and connect with one another. Our yurts--at once traditional and modern--provide an ideal environment for these lives to unfold. We at the Colorado Yurt Company are very proud to be part of this project.
To get a better idea of Colorado Yurt Company's role in the work take a look at this press release. Check out this youtube video to watch as the show takes shape in the Grand Palais. You can also see some of the testimonial videos and get an idea about the project at 6billionothers.org.
