PARIS INTERNATIONALE
Paris Internationale is pleased to announce its 2022 edition, taking place from 19 to 23 October 2022 at 35 Boulevard des Capucines, in the second arrondissement of Paris. The professional preview will take place on Tuesday, October 18.
For its eighth edition, Paris Internationale will host 59 galleries from 26 countries and is honored to welcome back many longstanding collaborators including BQ (Berlin), Bureau (New York), Chapter NY (New York), Derosia (New York), FELIX GAUDLITZ (Vienna), greengrassi (London), Kayokoyuki (Tokyo), Kendall Koppe (Glasgow), KOW (Berlin), Max Mayer (Dusseldorf), Project Native Informant (London), ROH Projects (Jakarta), Temnikova & Kasela (Tallinn) or Stereo (Warsaw) along the three founding galleries Ciaccia Levi (Paris/Milan), Crèvecoeur (Paris) and Gregor Staiger (Zurich/Milan).
Additionally, Paris Internationale is proud to welcome 16 new exhibitors, amongst these: Amanda Wilkinson (London), Champ Lacombe (Biarritz), Galeri Nev (Ankara/Istanbul), Higher Pictures Generation (New York), Lodos (Mexico City), Lomex (New York), P420 (Bologna), Schiefe Zähne (Berlin), Theta (New York).
Participants at the fair are selected both for their work in local and international contexts as well as the specific projects that they will bring to Paris. Aside from these leading galleries and their artists that together drive the discourse in contemporary art, Paris Internationale also regularly hosts non-profit spaces, which aren’t charged a participation fee to make their contributions to contemporary art available to an international audience.
For the first time, Paris Internationale benefits from the support of CNAP (Centre national des arts plastiques) and will present the collaborative exhibition Maintenant!, which will bring together four artists: Maxime Bichon, Vincent Ceraudo, Marcelline Delbecq and Suzanne Lafont.
The fair will take place in an incredible historical but completely gutted venue: the former studio of pioneer French photographer Nadar and home of the hugely important first Impressionist Exhibition in 1874. On five levels covering almost 3000m2, Paris Internationale will welcome its galleries, collectors and the art and culture community. Located in the heart of Paris’ historic center between Opera and Place Vendôme, the former studio building will provide yet another unique backdrop for the fair’s participants and visitors.
Renowned architects Christ & Gantenbein, an international practice dedicated to the broad realm of architecture, will conceive the fair’s exhibition design, tailor-made for this year’s location and context, employing its substantial expertise in designing spaces for art and culture from major projects including the extensions of the Kunstmuseum Basel, the Swiss National Museum, and MACBA in Barcelona.
