Booth D21

Grand Palais

7 Avenue Winston Churchill 75008 Paris

 

Art Paris will once again take place from in the majestic nave and on the balconies of the recently renovated Grand Palais, a gem of Belle Epoque architecture. The 28th edition will host around 165 French and international galleries.

 

Everard Read will showcase the work of both internationally recognised artists and emerging talent who share a commitment to contemporary story-telling and mastery of their craft. These artists seek to discern meaning in the world through their work, as well as encourage reflection, contemplation, wonder – and humour.

MARY SIBANDE

Mary Sibande has been shortlisted for The Her Art Prize: an international reference award for Women Artists in partnership with Marie Claire and Boucheron

She has also been selected as one of only 20 artists to feature in the ‘Reparation/Repair’ themed curation of the fair, under Alexia Fabre, Deputy Director of the Centre Pompidou Francilien in Massy. Fabre explores contemporary creation through the lens of ‘repair’, a word that encompasses a territory whose meanings are multifaceted and vary depending on the artist, culture, and time period. By weaving connections between the past, present, and future, ‘Repair’ aims to recompose fragments and pieces, to heal wounds, whether physical or symbolic. It evokes both the silences and injustices of history and the desire to project this newly recomposed "whole" into the future. Repair, in effect, contains the idea of restoring oneself, a history, a reality that once was.
