Press Release

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

Situated in the heart of Paris’ gallery district, le Marais, 7 rue Froissart is envisioned as an alternative to the traditional art fair model, organized and supported equally by the participating galleries and curators. Through a spirit of transparency and equity, the event unites participants in collaboration that benefits both artists and galleries.

Each gallery will present its own stand while also contributing to a group sculpture exhibition in the lower level of the venue. 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 satirizing New York’s infamous Met Gala. The program promises a lively, welcoming environment in which visitors can encounter an internationally diverse range of art.
