To mark its 10th anniversary, Paris Internationale inaugurated PI10, a special projects section conceived as a living archive of the fair’s history. Designed as a curatorial thread running through the venue, PI10 brought together artists and galleries who have shaped the identity of Paris Internationale over the years. Each intervention reactivated a shared energy and traced a decade of experimentation, dialogue, and community. Far from a retrospective gesture, PI10 celebrated continuity — the ongoing conversation between generations of artists and the ever-evolving spirit of the fair.
Participating artists: Mathis Altmann, Kenny Dunkan, Barbara Hammer, Renaud Jerez, Stanislava Kovalcikova, Cédric Rivrain, Nora Turato.
To celebrate ten years of Paris Internationale, Paris Internationale released a special publication tracing the fair’s evolution, its community, and the ideas that have shaped it. Blending archival materials with new typographic and editorial contributions, it offers a vivid portrait of a decade of experimentation.
It was developed and produced by Marie Lusa, with contributions from the ECAL Master Type Design students 2025 and material drawn from Paris Internationale’s archives.
This publication has been made during a workshop session at ECAL Master Type Design in October 2025, tutored by Marie Lusa with the assistance of Alberto Malossi. Participants: Chae Ahn, Saliù Baldé, Claudio Bolzonello, Elena Calò, Meryem Fekhari, Julian Jaffé, Phil Kim, Dohee Lee, Jiyeon Park, Saba Shahin, Diego Steiner, Sean Tien, and Friederike Wagner.
The letterings in different scripts have been designed by Mim Tejapaibul (Thai), Saba Yousef (Arabic), Sean Tien (Japanese), Jiyeon Park (Korean and Chinese), and Matthieu Cortat Roller (Aramaic, Armenian, Mongolian Bitchig, Greek). All the display typefaces used in this publication have been designed by the students. The font used for smaller texts is Parabole, designed by Dávid Molnár and updated by Chandra Sperle.
A special thanks to the contributors of the quotes strewn throughout this publication. Published in an edition of 5000ex. by Studio Marie Lusa & Paris Internationale.
The “TALKS WITH AND ABOUT” series has been organized since 2024 in collaboration with the Fondation d’entreprise Pernod Ricard, which shares Paris Internationale’s goal of fostering dialogue and discussion among art professionals in France and internationally.
Curated by Alice Dusapin, this year’s program explores themes of publishing, exhibiting, and collecting within “non-institutional” contexts — an opportunity to reflect on the complexity, richness, and importance of independence as a means of action.
Alice Dusapin: “This second edition provides an opportunity to deepen the reflections initiated last year with the program ‘TALKS WITH AND ABOUT: artistic practice, publishing and curating in non-institutional environments and spaces’. This year, a new category has been added with the introduction of ‘the collection’. The idea behind this program, therefore, is to share—through a series of conversations—the complexity and experience of individuals who have founded, run, or invested in non-institutional spaces. What does it mean to try to do things differently? What does institutional mean? What are the limits and joys of these various methodologies, and how can they speak to one another?
MOREPublishers (Belgium), the Rivers Institute for Contemporary Art & Thought (New Orleans, US), Radio Athènes (Greece), and the Stillpass Collection in Cincinnati (Ohio, US) will help put these questions into perspective.”

Le cycle « TALKS WITH AND ABOUT » est organisé depuis 2024 en collaboration avec la Fondation d’entreprise Pernod Ricard, qui partage l’objectif de Paris Internationale de favoriser les échanges et les discussions entre les acteurs de l’art en France et à l’international.
Conçu par Alice Dusapin, le programme de cette année aborde les thèmes de l’édition, de l’exposition et de la collection dans des espaces « non-institutionnels », l’occasion de s’interroger sur la complexité, la richesse et l’importance de l’indépendance en tant que moyen d’action.
Alice Dusapin : « Cette seconde édition est l’occasion d’approfondir les réflexions amorcées l’an dernier avec le programme ‘TALKS WITH AND ABOUT : artistic practice, publishing and curating in non-institutional environments and spaces’. Cette année, une nouvelle catégorie vient s’ajouter avec l’apparition de « la collection ».
L’idée de ce programme est de partager, à travers une série de conversations, la complexité et l’expérience de personnalités qui ont fondé, gèrent ou investissent des espaces non-institutionnels. Que signifie essayer de faire les choses différemment ? Que signifie « institutionnel » ? Quelles sont les limites et les joies de ces différentes méthodologies, et comment peuvent-elles converser ? MOREPublishers (Belgique), Rivers Institute for Contemporary Art & Thought (Nouvelle Orléans, US), Radio Athènes (Grèce) et la collection Stillpass à Cincinnati (Ohio, US) remettront ces interrogations en perspective. »
