La 7ème édition de Paris se tiendra du 20 au 24 octobre 2021 au 186 avenue Victor Hugo, signant un retour aux sources dans l’ouest parisien et haussmanien. Slvia Ammon est la directrice de cette édition.
Pour sa 7ème édition, Paris Internationale a sélectionné trente-cinq galeries, venues de 21 pays. Les galeries greengrassi (Londres), Kendall Koppe (Glasgow), KOW (Berlin), Misako & Rosen (Tokyo), Stereo (Varsovie), Veda (Florence), accompagnent les trois galeries fondatrices, Ciaccia Levi (Paris), Crèvecoeur (Paris) et Gregor Staiger (Zurich) depuis les premières éditions, et en constituent le socle.
Parmi les 20 nouvelles venues, Paris Internationale est heureuse d’accueillir les gale- ries : Artbeat (Tbilisi), Crisis (Lima), Delgosha (Teheran), Ginsberg Galeria (Lima), Good Weather (Little Rock/Chicago), Grey Noise (Dubai), Hot Wheels (Athènes), Iragui (Mos- cou), LC Queisser (Tbilisi), Piedras (Buenos Aires), von ammon co (Washington DC).
Pour la première fois Paris Internationale accueille trois participants du continent africain : First Floor Gallery (Harare), Rhizome (Alger) et Selebe Yoon (Dakar).
Temps fort du calendrier culturel parisien, la Semaine de l’art insuffle chaque année en octobre une énergie sans équivalent aux galeries et institutions culturelles de Paris, faisant de la ville une capitale mondiale de l’art. Dans un monde en progressive réou- verture, Paris Internationale invite ainsi plus que jamais ses exposants et son public à se réunir pour célébrer l’art et la communauté qui les unit.
Afin de compléter l’offre de la foire et de permettre à celles et ceux qui ne pourront être présents de partager néanmoins l’expérience de cette nouvelle édition, Paris In- ternationale maintient cette année une édition digitale sur son site internet, en plus de la foire physique. Par le biais d’outils innovants et en donnant la possibilité aux galeries de mettre l’accent sur toute sorte de matériaux contextuels, l’édition digitale qui sera visible jusqu’au 31 octobre, devient aussi une plateforme permettant d’approfondir ses connaissances sur les artistes découverts à la foire.
