| Art Paris offers themes in tune with those that are omnipresent in both society and contemporary art. After Art & Environment in 2022, Art Paris has entrusted in 2023 independent curator and founder of Beirut-based TAP (Temporary Art Platform), Amanda Abi Khalil, to curate a theme on “Exile : Dispossession and Resistance”. This theme will shine a spotlight on a selection of 18 international artists chosen from the exhibiting galleries whose work addresses questions in relation to exile. |
| “Leaving a place does not necessary mean we are no longer there.Whether exile is chosen or forced upon us, it is always something to be endured. In the current context of tensions caused by migration, which is exacerbated by wars, economic and climate crises amongst other reasons, this theme sets out to address the complex, porous and highly personnel character of exile and understand it above and beyond purely geographical and identity-based connotations.“Amanda Abi Khalil – SELECTED ARTISTS – Majd Abdel Hamid (Palestine) gb agency Anas Albraehe (Syria) Saleh Barakat Gallery Iván Argote (Colombia) Perrotin Taysir Batniji (Palestine) Galerie Eric Dupont Roberto Cabot (Brazil) Galerie Anne De Villepoix Leyla Cardenas (Colombia) Dix9 – Hélène Lacharmoise Nabil El Makhloufi (Morocco) L’Atelier 21 Leylâ Gediz (Turkey) The Pill Tirdad Hashemi (Iran) gb agency Zarina Hashmi (India) Galerie Jeanne Bucher Jaeger Aung Ko (Myanmar) A2Z Gallery Nge Lay (Myanmar) A2Z Gallery Boris Mikhailov (Ukraine) Galerie Suzanne Tarasiève Myriam Mihindou (Gabon) Galerie Maïa Muller Estefanía Peñafiel Loaiz (Ecuador) Galerie Alain Gutharc Laure Prouvost (France) Galerie Nathalie Obadia Christine Safa (France) Galerie Lelong & Co.
