From 36 selected galleries across 13 countries in 2015 to 66 galleries from 19 countries in 2025, Paris Internationale is celebrating its 10th anniversary !
This milestone edition takes place in a new venue at the Rond-Point des Champs-Élysées, reflecting the fair’s founding vision, firmly anchored in both the Parisian and global art ecosystems.
To mark this milestone, the fair introduces ♡ PI 10 — a commemorative project celebrating a decade of collective experimentation and shared vision.
Activating unexpected spaces throughout the venue, ♡ PI 10 will feature large-scale interventions by artists from past editions, alongside new collaborations with PI alumni.
A special publication will accompany the project, revisiting the dialogues, discoveries, and shared perspectives that have shaped Paris Internationale since its inception.
After 10 years of existence, Paris Internationale remains committed to its non-hierarchical and non-profit model.
The vast interiors, designed by architects Christ & Gantenbein, offer open, fluid spaces that encourage exploration and discovery.
Looking ahead to 2026, Paris Internationale will take a new step forward with a special edition set to take place in Milan.

Must sees !
Bombon Projects (Barcelona) : Eva Fàbregas
The gallery presents a dialogue between artists Eva Fàbregas (born 1988 in Barcelona) and Marie Zolamian (born 1975 in Beirut), whose practices explore the sensory, the subconscious, and the transformative potential of materiality.
Though they emerge from distinct artistic contexts, both artists share a fascination with the convergence of body, mind, and the unknown, encountered through fluid, often mystical experiences.
Fàbregas’s biomorphic and malleable forms invite a sensory engagement that challenges habitual perception, evoking impermanence and a sense of ambiguity. Zolamian’s paintings, by contrast, dematerialize color and form, merging the physical and the spiritual into a dreamlike dimension. Fabrega’s project for Manifesta 15 « Exudates » a large-scale, site-specific sculptural installation situated in the former panoptic prison of Mataró had a strong impact.
La Collective (Grand Paris) : group show
The Greater Paris Collective is a fluid, loosely structured network of human and non-human actors. Inspired by the affinity group model used in activist movements—particularly those mobilized around the HIV/AIDS crisis, it unites diverse practices, obsessions, and strategies of survival within the aesthetic field.
For Paris Internationale, the collective presents “Holding Up, Holding On / Tenir, main tenir.”
This title weaves together the artists and their works through a shared engagement with time—referring not only to the times we are living in, but also to lived experiences, the temporal layers carried by the artworks, and the multiple rhythms they embody.
Featured artists : M’barka Amor, Michel Bayetto, Gilles Beaujard, Christophe Ecoffet, Catherine Facerias, Patricia Falguières, Nina Forlani, Arthur Gillet, Elisabeth Lebovici, Béatrice Lussol, Morgan·e, Ralf Marsault, Jean-Luc Morel, Philippe Noisette, Shanta Rao, Clarisse Tranchard, Virginie Trastour.
Martins&Montero (São Paulo, Brussels) : Lia D Castro
Despite the taboo nature of the subject, Lia D Castro’s depictions avoid salaciousness or exploitation. Instead, they are tender and intimate, evoking vulnerability within a domestic setting. Each work is signed by the client and paired with their favorite quotes from theoretical texts they have explored together, highlighting the deep intellectual and personal bond Lia shares with them.
Ulrik (New York) : Hélène Fauquet
Hélène Fauquet’s sculptural explorations are inspired by seashells and the questions their forms evoke. Fauquet unveils a body of work featuring her collection of seashell souvenirs, carefully mounted atop framed photographs—close-up images of various fluids, blobs, and bubbles that have been central to her previous exhibitions. Elegantly framed, these pieces radiate the shimmering allure of opaline alcoves. The sound of distant waves seems to resonate within the pearlescent interiors of each shell, mirroring the swirling contours of thought as if in a surrealist dream between Magritte and Brothers.
Sissi club (Marseille) : Madison Bycroft & Lou Masduraud
Duo presentation of new works by Paris-based artist Madison Bycroft (1987, Tarntanya, AUS) and Geneva-based artist Lou Masduraud (1990, Montpellier, FR).
During the latest edition of Art-O-Rama, I had the opportunity to interview Elise Poitevin and Anne Vimeux, whose pioneering vision and innovative projects speak directly to the themes of this dialogue. Both female artists are currently presenting challenging new works: Lou Masduraud’s “Ta crème immunitaire” at Grand Café Saint-Nazaire, and Madison Bycroft’s “Les mensonges du météorologue” at La Friche la Belle de Mai. Their politically engaged practices resonate powerfully, using metaphorical language to address urgent social issues with subtlety and impact.

Adams and Ollman (Portland) : Peter Gallo
Gallo’s painterly assemblages layer fabric scraps, photocopied images, and found objects—such as broken chairs, antique cutting boards, rusty baking pans, and old books—into informal compositions. On top of these well-worn materials, each carrying its own history, Gallo applies thick, often red and pink paint, building up textured marks sometimes over many years. These works evoke uncanny artifacts from a distant past and future simultaneously, embodying multiple temporalities: they feel both fresh and aged, spontaneous and deliberate, hurried yet ritually crafted.
