Check out this video about his expo:

envoyé par centrepompidou. - Futurs lauréats du Sundance.

Little more facts about him: He was discovered by Pierre Restany, an art critic, in the early 60's as a memeber of the New Realities group.  Arman's  objective was to redifine the art world, as the video shows. Most pieces of art include burnt objects and destroyed musical instruments that are often exploited. Thanks to him, his work is becoming the norm of 20th century artists!

For all those musicians out there like me, now we have a new use for our old instrument!
