DESIGNBOOM GUIDE: A WEEK OF ART AND DESIGN IN PARIS
October sees Paris transform into a vibrant stage of creativity and culture as art and design fairs, museum and gallery exhibitions and public installations take over the French capital. For its fourth edition, Art Basel Paris returns to the newly restored Grand Palais, bringing together 206 international and local galleries as well as a strong public program beyond the fairgrounds. Meanwhile, Design Miami.Paris stages its third edition at the historic Hôtel de Maisons, presenting collectible design that bridges craft, history, and contemporary innovation.
Beyond the fairs, the entire city becomes part of the cultural program with several new exhibitions, installations, and site-specific projects on view. From Alex da Corte’s giant Kermit installation above Place Vendôme and an automated orchestra installation made of flip-flops at Lafayettes Anticipations, to the opening of Fondation Cartier’s new premises and a floral dining experience by We Are Ona and India Mahdavi, Paris unfolds into a landscape of ideas, dialogue, and experimentation.
