PARIS.- OFFSCREEN Paris returns this year to La Chapelle Saint-Louis de la Salpêtrière for its fifth edition from October 20 to 25, 2026 (VIP Preview October 19) and celebrates Ana Mandieta, the multidisciplinary artist renowned for her works in the landscape, earth/body works, and sculptures.

OFFSCREEN Paris is a nomadic event that values contemporary, historic and avant-garde artists with experimental image-based practices. With its distinct voice, it is a must-see highlight of Paris Art Week each October, bringing together a tightly curated selection of artists working with installations, still and moving images. A commercial, site-specific architectural exhibition, since its founding in 2022 by Artistic Director Julien Frydman, OFFSCREEN has become an important nexus for building the contemporary conversation, institutional support and the market in this field.

ANA MENDIETA | GUEST OF HONOR

OFFSCREEN celebrates Ana Mendieta (1948-1985) this year as the Guest of Honor. The major multidisciplinary artist is renowned for her works in the landscape, earth/body works, and sculptures in which she used her body — or its absence, evoked in what she called “siluetas” (silhouettes) — in dialogue with earth and other natural elements including fire, flowers, and water.

One of the most prolific artists using film and video in the 1970s, Mendieta made over a hundred films in her career. Mendieta is represented by Marian Goodman Gallery (New York, Paris), which is participating in OFFSCREEN for the second time. The presentation is developed in collaboration with the Estate of Ana Mendieta.

The installation will complement the simultaneous major exhibition at Tate Modern in London (2026) curated by Valentine Umansky and Michael Wellen.

LA CHAPELLE SAINT-LOUIS DE LA SALPÊTRIÈRE

OFFSCREEN returns for the second time to the exceptional Chapelle Saint-Louis de la Salpêtrière, once again activating this distinct architectural landmark.

Once a renowned home to site specific interventions at the end of the 20th century, featuring installations by Anselm Kiefer, Bob Wilson, Lucinda Childs, Bill Viola, Nan Goldin, and Christian Boltanski as part of the Festival d’Automne, OFFSCREEN reintroduced La Chapelle Saint Louis de la Salpêtrière into the contemporary art scene last year.

OFFSCREEN continues its distinctive architectural curation, presenting works in dialogue with unique spaces. Earlier editions took place in the brutalist Grand Garage Haussmann (2023, 2024) and the Hôtel Salomon de Rothschild (2022).
