Le Dîner Nomade, une véritable prouesse! Non seulement réussir à installer un dîner en pleine rue sur près d’1km en plein coeur de Paris est une gageure, mais quand en plus celui-ci prend place entre l’Elysée et la rue Cambon, au coeur du réacteur de la mode, ça semble presque irréel! Pourtant c’est bien ce qui s’est produit ce mardi 13 juin, à l’initiative du Comité du Faubourg St Honoré. A l’appui d’une coordination générale de Say Who, près de 50 maisons avaient invités amis et clients pour un pique nique chic signé des chefs étoilés des 6 grands hôtels avoisinants: Le Crillon, le Mandarin Oriental, le Castille, le Sofitel Paris le faubourg, le Bristol et la Réserve Paris! Des paniers gourmands pour des gourmets qui ont pu accompagner ces mets de choix d’un verre de champagne de la Maison Veuve Clicquot. Puis, dans la lumière vespérale d’une soirée d’été bénie des dieux, DJ et performances musicales ont invités ceux qui le souhaitaient à transformer cette rue mythique en un gigantesque dancefloor.

In a quarter of a century, Art Paris has become one of the most important artistic events of the Parisian spring season. After a 2022 edition focused on the links between art and the environment, the fair is back in full swing and brings together over 134 galleries from 25 different countries. Among those we find, as is customary, big names like Templon, Perrotin, Kamel Mennour or Almine Rech, but also new foreign entrants such as the Ugandan gallery Afriart, the Chilean AMS, the Korean H.A.N Gallery, 313 Art Project or the modern Monegasque gallery Retelet. This year, the fair aims to assert its upscale character and ever-greater international openness by renewing 33% of its participants, while also endeavouring to maintain its strong ties with France – which is cultivated by exhibiting a majority of French artists since 2018.
For this anniversary edition, Art Paris offers an unprecedented programme structured in two parts, each of them addressing a fundamental theme for contemporary art: a first one focused on the ties between art and commitment, under the direction of writer, art critic and curator Marc Donnadieu; and a second one conceived as a reflection on the topic of exile, curated by Amanda Abu Khalil, founder of Temporary Art Platform.
Alongside these two highlights, Art Paris will, as usual, dedicate several spaces like “Promises” to emergent creation, thus highlighting young galleries like Baert Gallery Los Angeles or This Is Not A White Cube from Lisbon. The fair confirms its commitment, both to offer a broad representation of contemporary art, whose strength lies in its diversity, but also to promote proximity, local production and favour local transport solutions, which they do since 2022 by means of an eco-design approach.
On Wednesday 29, all leading figures in the art world attended the opening of this special anniversary edition. Present alongside Art Paris’ CEOs Valentine and Julien Lecêtre, and the general curator Guillaume Piens, were major figures of the cultural and artistic scene such as the minister Rima Abdul-Malak, gallery owners Kamel Mennour, Daniel Templon, Emmanuel Perrotin and Nathalie Obadia, but also artists and curators like Chris Dercon, Laurent Grasso and Yvon Lambert.
Charismatique fondatrice de Numéro Magazine, Babeth Djian est aussi présidente d’honneur de l’association AEM dont le but est de récolter des fonds visant à œuvrer pour l’accès à l’éducation des enfants rwandais. Forte d’un grand pouvoir fédérateur lié à sa longue carrière dans la mode et les industries créatives, Babeth Djian réussit chaque année à rassembler autour d’elle amis et relations au Pavillon Ledoyen-Yannick Alléno pour un grand dîner dont le temps fort est la traditionnelle vente aux enchères. Maisons de mode, agences de relation presse, tout le monde du luxe, de la musique et du cinéma a répondu présent à l’appel pour soutenir cette cause qui lui est chère. Cette année, comme chaque année, le dîner aura rassemblé son lot de personnalités, avec Lucien Pagès et ses convives dont Glenn Martens, Virginie Efira, Nadia Tereszkiewicz et Lucas Bravo, Niels Schneider et Isabelle Adjani, ou encore Yseult. À noter aussi la présence en force des nouvelles figures de la jeune création comme Charles de Vilmorin, Alphonse Maitrepierre, Alice Vaillant, Victor Weinsanto, Kevin Germanier ou Boramy Viguier.
On Tuesday 13 June, a party organized by Perrotin heralded the opening of Art Basel. This celebratory evening has become part of the programme of the prestigious contemporary art fair, which brings together gallerists, artists and collectors every year. Internationally renowned for offering a rich overview of the contemporary art scene, this 2023 edition of the fair showcases nearly 300 galleries and the work of over 4,000 artists. The programme also includes conferences, performances and film screenings, completing a week fully dedicated to the creative industry. As one of the major players in the sector, Galerie Perrotin is also the organiser of the yearly kick-off party. The event takes place traditionally in the Elisabethenkirche church, a historical venue that gets transformed into an ephemeral dancefloor that served as the stage for the DJ sets by Pedro Winter, Breakbot, Irfane and Guillaume Sanchez, as well as the live performance by Ouai Stéphane and Bonnie Banane. Over the course of the night, we had the pleasure of meeting Gregor Hildebrandt, Wim Delvoye, Jérome Sans, David Marconi and Masha Rudenko over a glass of Italicus, Perrier Jouet, Monkey 47 and Heaven Sake.
