Created in 2007, Drawing Now Art Fair is Europe's first contemporary art fair dedicated exclusively to drawing. For its 18th edition, Drawing Now Art Fair will return to the Carreau du Temple in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris. A selection of international galleries will present their choice of works based on contemporary drawing from the last 50 years. The two sectors, Insight and Process, will once again showcase the most contemporary side of drawing.

The exhibition “Corps et âmes” explores the significance of the body in contemporary thought as expressed in the works of some twenty artists in the Pinault Collection. In the matrix-like curves of the Bourse de Commerce, these bodies form a choreography, a multiple rondo. this journey through the Pinault Collection invites viewers to rediscover, in the words of Jacques Rancière, the “possession of all their vital energies”. Freed from all mimetic constraints, the body—whether photographed, sculpted, drawn, filmed, or painted—does not cease to reinvent itself. This grants art an essential organicity that allows it, like an umbilical cord, to take the pulse of the human soul. Art seizes the energies and vital flows of our thoughts and inner lives to create a sensorial, humanist experience of otherness. Forms metamorphose, freeing themselves from figuration to seize, hold onto, and allow our soul and consciousness to emerge, as in David Hammons’ Body Prints. It is no longer a matter of merely painting bodies, instead embodying the forces that run through them, to bring to light what is buried and invisible, and to open up the shadows.

Mission Recherche

From the magazine Présence africaine to Revue noire, ‘Paris noir’ traces the presence and influence of Black artists in France between the 1940s and 2000. It highlights one hundred and fifty Afro-descendant artists, from Africa to the Americas, whose works have often never been shown in France. A revelation of a cosmopolitan Paris, the exhibition shows how the Parisian scene has given rise to a wide variety of practices, ranging from identity awareness to the search for transcultural visual languages. ‘Paris noir’ reveals the importance of Afro-descendant artists in redefining modernity and post-modernity.

With curators of the exhibitions, Alicia Knock, cheffe du Service de la création contemporaine et prospective, and Eva Barois de Caevel, conservatrice au Service création contemporaine et prospective
