Paris Internationale 11: October 16—20
17 rue du Faubourg Poissonnière
For the 10th edition of Paris Internationale, 75 participants from 19 countries have taken over the Central téléphonique Le Coeur on rue Bergère, a stone’s throw from the Grands Boulevards.
Paris Internationale celebrates it’s 10th edition! Building upon its success from 2023, the fair will once again take over the Central Bergère, located at 17 Rue du Faubourg Poissonnière in the 9th arrondissement, from October 16 to 20. The VIP Preview, followed by an opening, will be held on Tuesday October 15 (invitation only).
This year, Paris Internationale celebrates the return of long-standing collaborators such as Chapter NY (New York), Derosia (New York), greengrassi (London), KOW (Berlin), Martins&Montero, São Paulo/Brussels or Stereo (Warsaw), as well as the arrival of 25 newcomers, including Bel Ami (Los Angeles), Lo Brutto Stahl (Paris), Tomio Koyama (Tokyo), and Ulrik (New York), who will be exhibiting alongside the founding galleries.
Born from the utopian vision of creating a contemporary art fair on a human scale, where gathering, discovery, content, and a shared set of values are as important as commercial success, Paris Internationale is an independent structure whose main goal is to promote contemporary art. The fair offers an alternative and much-needed model: a strong marketplace in which a cutting edge selection of participants from all over the world - both commercial galleries and guest project spaces - come together in one rich cultural program. The fair offers a new aesthetic between the literary salons of the 18th century and a self-managed contemporary art fair.
All the selected galleries share a particular vision of their profession, one that goes beyond the purely commercial aspect. As cultural ambassadors for their regions, they are firmly rooted in their local communities, while at the same time working to promote the international reputation of the artists they represent. Paris Internationale encourages ambitious projects conceived in the style of an exhibition, enabling new artists of all generations to be revealed as well as forgotten figures to be rediscovered.
Paris Internationale offers projects that maintain a sense a sense of avant-garde that is hardly possible in other fairs, thereby contributing to the vitality of the Parisian art scene and the city’s appeal to artists and the international art community as a whole.
This year it is once again offering a rich public program designed to facilitate exchanges and conversations between all those involved in the art world. The program includes the inclusion of non-profit spaces invited free of charge, guided tours and conversations with select personalities, an exhibition featuring the work of CNAP supported artists, and other events that will all be free and open to the general public.

This year’s series of “TALKS WITH AND ABOUT” is organized in collaboration with Fondation d’entreprise Pernod Ricard, who shares Paris Internationale’s ambition to foster conversations and facilitate cross pollinisation of knowledge and ideas between members of the international art worlds. Curated by Alice Dusapin, this year’s programme takes up the subject of “Artistic practice, publishing and curating in non-institutional environments and spaces”. It will question the complexity, richness and significance of independance as a means of action.
Alice Dusapin is an independent editor, curator, and researcher. Co-founder and co-director of the journal octopus notes and of the publishing house Daisy, she also co-directs the nonprofit space Ampersand. She has received support for her research from the CNAP, the Michalksi Foundation, the Getty Research Institute, and the Terra Foundation, and is a resident of the Académie de France à Rome-Villa Médicis 2020-2021 in art history. Since 2024, she has been head of publishing at the Villa Arson in Nice.
PI: What is the central theme of this program?
Alice Dusapin: The program was conceived around this subtitle artistic practice, publishing, and curating in ‘non-institutional’ environments and spaces. This subtitle echoes a large part of my practice. In 2013 I co-founded the art magazine octopus notes, in 2017 the non-profit space Ampersand in Lisbon, and in 2020 the publishing house Daisy. Thought of today as a trilogy, these projects were all founded collaboratively, and are still run collaboratively. These projects were born quite simply out of a desire and a need to ‘do’, and above all to do autonomously. The idea of this program was therefore to share, through conversation, the complexity and richness of the experience of a number of people who have founded, run, or invested in these spaces. What does it mean to run a non-profit space, a magazine, an archive, or an estate today? What does it mean to try to do things differently, to be independent? And is there a vocabulary for talking ‘precisely’ about these spaces? What do their programs and research subjects consist of? All this fuels and redistributes a lot of obsessions, and it’s very exciting!
PI: How have you chosen the participants?
Alice Dusapin: All the participants are people I’ve had the chance to meet at different times and with whom I have ongoing projects for the most part. The idea, of course, is not to talk about those projects, but rather to take advantage of this invitation to develop and discuss their research and programs. These are people whose positions interest me and whose work I really appreciate, and I’m very happy to talk about them in public as part of Paris Internationale.
