Fragment of a tee-shirt "Rien de Spécial, marque déposée", produced for the show of art tee-shirts organised by Jean-Noël Laszlo, for the Musée de Toulon, 1989

The trademark "Rien de Spécial" has been registered in 1987, in order to protect this term and our activities.

"Rien de Spécial" refers to zen. (Zen being according to a zen master "Nothing's special", back to the normal condition of the mind...).

This title has been invented by Stéphan BARRON, and Rien de Spécial has produced Stéphan BARRON's artworks and editions since 1984.

The term "Rien de Spécial" has no relation with a joke from Andy Warhol.

The French Television Canal + has tried to use this term in 1990, but has been legally obliged to change the title of an emission.
