From 26 th to 29 th March 2015, Art Paris Art Fair brings together 145 galleries
from some 20 countries at the Grand Palais. Headed by Guillaume Piens
since 2012, the fair focusses on discovery and presents a wide panorama of
modern and contemporary art. Art Paris Art Fair also shows design, photo-
graphy and art books. The fair has undergone a profound renewal with some
50 % newcomers and galleries from abroad. Since 2012, a rigorous selection
process and a multi-disciplinary, dynamic approach to contemporary crea-
tion have resulted in a constant rise in the number of visitors to the fair.
With a strong international focus, the fair has positioned itself as a pioneer
in the exploration of regions of the world whose artistic creation is seldom,
if ever, shown in France. Art Paris Art Fair looks at a different geography
of the art world that takes visitors off the beaten track to places like Casa-
blanca, Zürich, Moscow, Bucharest or Singapore.
After Russia and China, Singapore and Southeast Asia are guests of honour
for the 2015 edition. This platform is directed by Iola Lenzi, a curator, resear-
cher and Southeast Asia specialist who curated the exhibition “The Roving
Eye: Contemporary Art from Southeast Asia,” shown at the ARTER Founda-
tion in Istanbul (September 2014 to January 2015). Eight Singapore-based
galleries including Art Plural Gallery, STPI, Chan Hampe Galleries, Element
Art Space, Yeo Workshop, iPreciation, Intersections and Sundaram Tagore
Gallery will demonstrate the diversity of talent from Cambodia, Burma, Ma-
laysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam and Thailand. A pro-
gramme of talks and video screenings will complement this presentation of
what is a little known but booming art scene.
The general sector will also include a number of galleries and artists from
Southeast Asia Including Burma’s Aung Ko at Primo Marella, Vietnam’s Dinh
Q. Le and Bui Cong Khanh at 10 Chancery Lane Gallery, and from the Phi-
lippines, Manuel Ocampo at Nathalie Obadia and Alfredo & Isabel Aquilizan
at Hélène Bailly.
This year’s general sector has undergone deep changes with the arrival of
modern art galleries such as Boisserée (Cologne), Luca Tommasi (Milan),
Galerie Maeght(Paris), as well as others dealing in contemporary work such
as Plutschow and Andrés Thalmann from Zürich, Flowers from London, Re-
nate Bender and Tanit from Munich, Maria Lund from Paris and Istanbul’s
Sanatorium and Krampf Gallery.

The Promises section, successfully introduced in 2013 as a way of promoting
the discovery of new international talents, this year includes 12 galleries that
are under five years old and are taking part in the fair for the first time. This
is Art Paris Art Fair’s specific effort to help young French and international
galleries become better known and reveal new talents. They include Pod-
bielski (Berlin), Christopher Gerber (Lausanne), Heinzer Reszler (Lausanne),
Jo van de Loo (Münich), TJ Boulting (London), Galerie ArchiRAAR (Brus-
sels) and Rivière / Faiveley (Paris).
The ArtDesign section explores the relationship between design and contem-
porary art. Now in its fourth year, it brings together carefully selected galle-
ries presenting unique or very limited edition pieces produced by contem-
porary talents. Journalist Élodie Palasse Leroux, design columnist, curator
(50 Years of Singapore Design), founder of Sleek Design, is overseeing the
2015 selection that includes Nec Nilsson et Chiglien, School Gallery/ Olivier
Castaing and Armel Soyer. In addition, Carpenters Workshop gallery in the
general sector is taking part in the fair for the first time.
