Yia Art Fair #7 — Carreau du Temple — Fair — Slash Paris

Past: October 20 → 23, 2016

YIA Art Fair 2016 — Le Carreau du Temple Avec sa soixantaine de galeries, Yia Art Fair assoie chaque année un peu plus sa place centrale dans la semaine de l'art contemporain à Paris et propose, pour cette édition 2016, un parcours aéré et plutôt très agréable, même si on peut déplorer une légère disparité entre les galeries.

65 galleries represented at Carreau du Temple

After six editions in Paris and a first one in Brussels, the international art fair Art Fair YIA (YIA ‐ Young International Artists) returns during the FIAC at Carreau du Temple to present an international selection of 65 galleries, a series of talks in the auditorium and a space dedicated to drawings and editions with guest artist Daniel Buren represented for this occasion by Atelier Multiples­‐Un.

Hors‐Les‐Murs — parcours in the principal museums of the Marais under the patronage of the artist Mounir Fatmi

Enriched this year by a curatorial committee¹ guided by Marion Zilio², YIA Art Fair will install in the Marais to present a cultural Hors‐Les­‐Murs program (In partnership with Marais Culture +) gathering art exhibitions, dance and performances, screenings of short and medium‐length films, and as well talks and privileged meetings between the curious, artists and art professionals.
