ART PARIS ART FAIR 2016 | 31st March – 3rd April 2016 Grand Palais

Held in the Grand Palais from 31^st March to 3^rd April 2016, Art Paris Art Fair is the leading event in the Spring art calendar of the French capital, bringing together some 143 galleries from 20 countries which includes for the first time Azerbaijan, Colombia and Iran.

Open to all forms of artistic expression, Art Paris Art Fair offers a broad vision of art from the post-war period to the present day while the thematic sectors focus on discovery. The exhibitions in Solo Show present an in-depth look at the work of an individual artist while Promises showcases young galleries and emerging artists. Digital mapping and video art are given pride of place with monumental projections on the façade of the Grand Palais.

After Singapore and Southeast Asia, Art Paris Art Fair confirms its established identity as a fair that looks to the East. Under the leadership of guest curator Sang-A CHUN, the invitation of South Korea as guest of honour highlights the vast wealth of the art scene from the “Land of Morning Calm.” With close to 70 artists represented by galleries both from Korea (Seoul, Daegu and Paju-Si) and some 20 Western galleries, this project spans the emergence of very specific forms of contemporary art from the 1960s to the present day boom in creativity.
