Choices Paris 2015
Pour cette seconde édition de Choices, quarante galeries s’associent pour proposer l’un des derniers temps forts de la saison artistique parisienne. Un week-end de présentation de solo shows dans toute la ville qui fait écho à la grande exposition organisée aux Beaux-Arts de Paris de ces artistes dont le commissariat est confié à Alfred Pacquement.
For three days, 40 art galleries join together to offer an itinerary through their respective exhibitions, but also a major group exhibition at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts.
In 2015, Choices take us from Belleville to Saint-Germain by way of the Marais, the Rue Louise Weiss, the Palais-Royal and Pantin. Many private viewings are organized throughout the weekend.
In addition, each of the participating galleries showcase one of its artists within a major exhibition curated by Alfred Pacquement, in collaboration with a group of students of the Beaux-Arts de Paris brought together by Jean-Luc Vilmouth, director of the Department of studies. The former director of the Musée national d’art moderne, Alfred Pacquement was also the director of the Beaux-Arts de Paris from 1996 to 2000. The Choices exhibition open to the public (free admission) on Saturday 30th and Sunday 31st in the Ecole’s Palais des Études.
A key event for contemporary art in Paris, Choices offers collectors, art professionals and art lovers from France and abroad many opportunities for meeting and sharing.
