Aix-en-Provence, France en Juin

Plasticiens. What does this word mean to you? Give up? Well, I almost did. When I would see the word printed at various exhibitions around town, used to describe the genre of the artist, I just couldn’t get the reference. I mistakenly thought it referred to an artist who worked in plastic, yet I could discern no plastic in their pieces. I persisted in my quest to solve this ancient riddle, and after questioning different artists, I got it.
