Appreciation towards Lang/Baumann for providing the following description:

这是来自两位瑞士艺术家Sabina Lang和Daniel Baumann的作品，他们自1990年起就开始合作，创作了非常有意思的系列作品：楼梯，墙，桌子，桥等等。以前gooood报道过他们的Beautiful Steps项目。他们也十分擅长涂鸦，比如在桥底，村落进行各种大胆的涂鸦。创建出不可思议的街头艺术，扭转人们的观感，叹不可能转化为可能。这里为大家介绍的是他们最新创作的一个大型的涂鸦艺术，长59米宽3.7米，绘在法国雷恩市的Jules Simon街上，将一直存在至2014年5月25日。这次的创作简约，电动感十足，色彩明亮，大胆有趣，是一个超出想象的交互作品，人们在这里重新发现城市公共空间，风景，还有我们的周围。

‘Street Painting’ is a series of paintings where geometrical shapes and bright colours are directly laid onto the street’s asphalt. With six paintings already completed in various locations since 2003, Lang/Baumann have gone on to create their seventh instalment in the series in Rennes, France. Laid out along Jules Simon Street, right in the heart of Rennes, this is the first of their paintings in France and it will grace the city with its presence until May , 2014.

‘Street Painting #7’ (2013) was produced by contemporary art exhibition space 40mcube and The PHAKT – Colombier Cultural Center, in partnership with Signature and Identic with the  support of the city of Rennes and the Swiss Art Council Pro Helvetia. Using road marking paint, the striking 59 x 3.7m artwork boldly introduces frenetic, disrupting geometries into Rennes’ streets. Loud streamlined forms in a razzle-dazzle-like pattern interrupt the  urban context, creating an electric street carpet that literally pops out of its surroundings. Traditionally a medium meant to create permanent codified road signage, road marking paint is now alternatively used to blow up the codes and create a temporary environment that asks for the participation of the spectator, making him/her one of the protagonists of the artwork. Lang/Baumann tempt and invite us to interact with it, as we place ourselves into the most unlikely of environments. What may appear ambiguous at first soon becomes readable and familiar, lending another dimension to our notion of urban space. As a result,  their striking artworks make us rediscover public spaces, encounter new landscapes and witness original perspectives within our very own cities. In all their absurdity and whimsy, Lang/Baumann’s artworks transform the mundane urban landscape into a colourful, poetical and utopic realm.
