The outdoor programme will also present an ensemble of over twenty works in the Tuileries Gardens, together with a solo exhibition of British artist Glenn Brown, in collaboration with Max Hetzler (Paris, Berlin), at the Musée National Eugène-Delacroix.
In an extension of its Hors les Murs program, for the second consecutive year, FIAC will present a selection of temporary architectural projects on the most iconic of all Parisian squares, the Place de la Concorde.
FIAC’s signature program, FIAC Projects, will present some forty sculptures and installations within the prestigious exhibition rooms and grounds of the Petit Palais, in the environs of the Grand Palais and on the Avenue Winston Churchill, which will be pedestrianised during FIAC week. This year, FIAC Projects is conceived in collaboration with Rebecca Lamarche-Vadel, chief curator of the next Riga Biennial. Rebecca Lamarche-Vadel participated in the selection of artworks, together with FIAC and the curatorial teams of the Petit Palais, and is responsible for the conception and design of the exhibition presented within the Petit Palais.
For the duration of the fair, FIAC Programmes presents a freely accessible program of performances (Parades for FIAC), conferences (Conversation Room), and film screenings (Cinéphémère).
