A view of the 59 Rivoli "aftersquat"during the inauguration of its new facade in Paris May 8, 2013. Artists at one of the most-visited hubs of contemporary art in Paris are in a battle with city hall to preserve the status quo at their "aftersquat", where visitors can freely view 30 painters and sculptors in the throes of the creative process. Six floors of rooms showcasing the eclectic creators and their work are accessible from a spiral central staircase, spattered with paint in psychedelic colours that stands out from the building's nondescript Haussmanian exterior. Picture taken May 8, 2013. The banner reads as "Together, Not perfect, Just ourselves". REUTERS/Gonzalo Fuentes (FRANCE - Tags: SOCIETY)
