Salon Light #9
Palais de Tokyo, Paris
Artist's book festival. For this edition Cneai will showcase meetings and dialogue with 53 independent publishers and bookstores, and three research and performance seminars on publishing practices and micropublishing. They transforms the usual book fair into a true exhibition space.
Curators: Sylvie Boulanger and Charlotte Cheetham
For the 9th edition of Salon Light, Cneai, hosted by Palais de Tokyo, will showcase meetings and dialogue with
53 independent publishers and bookstores, and three research and performance seminars on publishing practices. The players in the field of micropublishing are experimenting in all directions and playing with the usual
boundaries between the art practices as well as the theoretical categories. Linked directly to the most innovative creation and broadcasting techniques, publishing practices open the field of art and its borders: humanities, graphic design, sound, poetry... A new generation of curators took the independent publisher as a role
model in its capacity to dynamically adapt to the changes of the contemporary world, where the many parts
of publishing (author, publisher, graphic designer, collector, photographer, curator, bookshop, reader) are
alternatively played by the same players.
A new «silk road» travelled by a growing number of actors thriving to
break free from financial art and wishing to reinvent a complex and knowledgable art that would be naturally
different from the luxury item. For Salon Light #9, Cneai transforms the usual book fair into a true exhibition
space for the publishing practices.
