NEUMA - The Forgotten Ceremony: an installation by artists Sarah Brahim and Ugo Schiavi Saudi-American artist Sarah Brahim and French artist Ugo Schiavi present their collaborative installation NEUMA - The Forgotten Ceremony, curated by Wejdan Reda and Arnaud Morand, as the culmination of their residency at Villa Hegra. Paying tribute to the ritual practices of the pre-Islamic tribes of AlUla, this installation is the result of in-depth research carried out in close collaboration with archaeologists and local communities across the region. Drawing inspiration from the landscape of AlUla, its mythology and heritage, this exhibition fosters a contemplative mood by subtly blending contemporary creation, elements of the site's ancient history, as well as secular and sacred elements across an ensemble of sculptures, videos and photographic works.

Le Chuchotement des Mains: an exhibition in the Rencontres Équinoxes series, organized by leather goods company Camille Fournet

For 10 years, Camille Fournet has been an active patron of the arts, providing support for original creations by inviting contemporary artists to its twice-yearly Rencontres Équinoxes that allow artists to fully appreciate the special relationship that exists between the luxury leather goods company and its raw materials. Le Chuchotement des Mains, an exhibition presented at Art Paris with a design by artist Lucien Murat, evokes the hybrid zone in which contemporary creation meets the craftsmanship of expert artisans. It showcases the synergy that arises when artists and artisans collaborate, featuring a selection of approximately ten works by Yasmina Benabderrahmane, Lucien Murat, Elsa Sahal, Recycle Group, Ittah Yoda, Maude Maris, Fabrice Hyber, and ORLAN.

Fonds d'art contemporain - Paris Collections

This year, for the first time, the Paris Municipality will be an Art Paris partner and will be presenting the Fonds d'art contemporain - Paris Collections at the fair, curated by Julie Gandini. The only public collection on display amongst the exhibiting galleries, the City of Paris's collection comprises almost 23,500 works from the end of the 19th century to the present day. Every year, new works are added to the collection as part of the municipality's actions in support of arts professionals. During the fair, the Fonds d'art contemporain - Paris Collections will present an ensemble of modern and contemporary works from the collection resonating with this edition's focus on figurative painting from both a historical and contemporary perspective, while juxtaposing traditional and radical approaches.
