7 rue Froissart

Brigitte Mulholland and Sara Maria Salamone are delighted to announce a new satellite event coinciding with Art Basel Paris this autumn: 7 rue Froissart. Running from 19 to 25 October, the initiative will bring together an international group of galleries in a collaborative, community-oriented format.

Located in the heart of Paris’ gallery district, Le Marais, 7 rue Froissart is conceived as an alternative to the traditional art fair model, organised and supported equally by the participating galleries and curators. With a focus on transparency and equity, the event fosters collaboration that benefits both artists and galleries.

Each gallery will present its own stand while also contributing to a group sculpture exhibition on the venue’s lower level. Throughout the week, local artists will stage performances in the space, and Kahlos Éphémère will present The Wet Gala, a hybrid performance and drag show that satirises New York’s notorious Met Gala. The programme promises a lively and welcoming environment in which visitors can experience a diverse, international range of contemporary art.
