The 3rd edition of CHOICES Collectors Weekend will take place in Paris on May 21–22, 2016. During two days, CHOICES offers an itinerary through 36 participating Parisian galleries. This year’s group show is hosted by the Palais de Tokyo.
The itinerary of the 3rd edition will take visitors to galleries in Belleville and Pantin, Saint-Germain-des-Prés and Matignon, the Marais and the Palais-Royal. The programme of Rendez-Vous CHOICES includes private views and performances as well as meetings with artists, gallery owners and curators.
Over the weekend, the exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo will show the works of some 36 artists, one per participating gallery. Laurent Le Bon and Emilie Bouvard (respectively President and Curator in charge of contemporary art at the Picasso Museum) have agreed to share their outlook on the selection of works put forward by galleries. Among the artists presented in the show are young French artists such as Clément Bagot (Galerie Eva Hober), Raphaël Denis (Galerie Sator), Dewar & Gicquel (Loevenbruck), Julien Discrit (Anne-Sarah Bénichou) and Laurent Tixador (In Situ – fabienne leclerc) together with Ivan Argote (Galerie Perrotin), Stephen Dean (Galerie L’Inlassable), Ninar Esber (Galerie Imane Farès), David Nash (Galerie Lelong), and Lazaro Saavedra (G-P & N Vallois).
A key event for contemporary art in spring, CHOICES Collectors Weekend has become, over the past two years, a must for galleries in Paris, and includes 15 new galleries in 2016.
In order to showcase the work of galleries, CHOICES brings together the different players of the art world: international collectors, gallery owners and art lovers can meet around artists and artworks.
CHOICES works with private and public partners to extend its outreach and to foster encounters between art lovers, art world professionals and collectors. CHOICES also invites its visitors to discover places and institutions that demonstrate the vibrancy of the contemporary art scene in Paris, with partner exhibitions at the Fondation d’entreprise Ricard, Collège des Bernardins and Maison Rouge.
CHOICES PARIS Collectors Weekend is organized in partnership with:
Mairie de Paris, Comité Professionnel des Galeries d’Art, AXA ART, Palais de Tokyo, Paris Musées/Musées de la Ville de Paris, Galeries Mode d’Emploi, Fondation d’Entreprise Ricard, Hôtel Le Meurice, Silencio, Emerige, The Art Marketing Company, Nomination, Aesop and Artsy.
