The who’s who of the art world air-kisses on the aisles of the Grand Palais [1] in October at the international contemporary art fair FIAC, one of the main art events of la rentrée culturelle (October 20-23). This year, for the first time, the event spills over to the Petit Palais across the street as well as the usual extra-muros exhibits at the Tuileries Gardens [2] and other venues across Paris. [3] To coincide with FIAC, we’ve selected three contemporary events to inspire your artistic explorations…
UPRISINGS
When people say ‘enough’. This is the subject of this original trans-disciplinary event around the theme of human gestures that rise up in the world (or against it), looking at collective or individual actions and passions.
October 18 – January 15, Jeu de Paume [4] in Paris
BEN. IS EVERYTHING ART?
The Musée Maillol [5] reopens following extensive renovation with the inaugural exhibition consecrated to the iconoclast Ben Vautier (known simply as Ben), a major figure in the contemporary art scene in France.
Until January 15 at the Musée Maillol [6] in Paris
CATTELAN WITHOUT CATTELAN
Five years after his ‘final-ever’ exhibition at the Guggenheim, the work of irreverent Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan lands at La Monnaie in Paris for a comeback.
October 22- January 8 at La Monnaie de Paris [7]
