Singapore and Southeast Asia Guests of Honour
From 26 to 29 March 2015, Art Paris Art Fair will bring together some 140 international galleries at the Grand Palais in Paris, presenting a wide panorama of modern and contemporary art which also includes photography, design and art books.
The guests of honour for the 2015 edition of the fair are Singapore and South East Asia. Exhibition curator and specialist researcher on Southeast Asia lola Lenzi is curating the platform dedicated to galleries based in Singapore that will showcase a wide variety of talents from Burma, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, the Philippines, Vietnam and Thailand. The programme of this unprecedented invitation to Paris of the booming South Asian scene will also include a series of conferences and video screenings. It will coincide with the launch of the Singapore Art festival in Paris, celebrating 50 years of the city-state’s independence.
New in 2015 is a section titled Solo Show, dedicated to personal exhibitions. This comes alongside Promises, the section for young galleries, ArtBooks Bookshop for art and artists’ publications and ArtDesign, a platform that explores the links between contemporary art and design. All these elements combine to give Art Paris Art Fair its unique identity as a European fair that focuses on discovery and looks to the East.
The Paris in Springtime VIP programme will also highlight the exceptional renaissance of the institutional scene in Paris in 2015 with the long-awaited re-opening of the Picasso Museum, the inauguration of the Monnaie de Paris, the opening of the new Louis Vuitton foundation housed in a building designed by Frank Gehry.
