PARIS.- To mark the opening of the new
Air de Paris in Romainville the gallery is presenting the choral exhibition More: 40 artists on four floors and the chance for a stroll through all the gallery’s spaces, from cellar to attic, from reserves to roof terrace.
Running over a three months time, this exhibition sees the achievement of the interior design of the gallery, a project led by Sébastien Truchot - PCA STREAM.
For some 30 years now Air de Paris has cultivated a fondness for the peripheral. The move to Romainville shows us pursuing this notion in a restating of Liam Gillick’s maxim «Just More/More Just».
The office tables, titled {{Reflist}}, are an artwork by Aaron Flint Jamison that the artist produced for the Editathon Art + Feminism 2016 with Lafayette Anticipations, Fondation d’entreprise Galeries Lafayette, organized by Kvardek du and Flora Katz.
Komunuma, «community» or «commune» in Esperanto, the language of sharing, is the name of a site of nearly 11,000 square meters in Romainville, renovated by Fondation Fiminco, where four Parisian galleries will be located in 2019.
The site, a former industrial site of the 20th century located near the «Bobigny-Pantin-Raymond Queneau» station, restored by FREAKS, an architectural firm based in Paris, will house a series of galleries, a café, an artists’ residence, as well as exhibition spaces.
Komunuma opened its doors in October this year with the inauguration of the new spaces of Air de Paris (founded in 1990), Galerie Sator (founded 2011), Galerie Jocelyn Wolff (founded 2003) and In Situ Fabienne Leclerc (founded in 2001).
In 2019, alongside contemporary art galleries, the Fiminco Foundation will open an artist residency and exhibition program and Jeune Création association will organize exhibitions with emerging artists. The much-awaited Frac Île de France / Les Réserves will also open its doors at the same address in 2020.
