"The Grand Palais, originally constructed for the 1900 Universal Exhibition, has undergone a comprehensive transformation aimed at restoring its original volumes while adapting the structure to contemporary use."
"The curatorial program is organized around two main themes: Babel - Art and Language in France, and Reparation, which engage with linguistic structures and processes of repair."
"Babel brings together 21 artists whose work addresses the relationship between text and image, examining how meaning is constructed and communicated through visual and textual forms."
"The Reparation theme presents an international group of 20 artists whose work engages with memory, absence, and reconstruction, situating artistic practices within broader social and cultural contexts."
Art Paris will take place at the Grand Palais from April 9-12, 2026, featuring 165 galleries from around twenty countries. The fair is organized around two themes: language and reparation. The Grand Palais has undergone extensive renovations to enhance visitor experience and accommodate large-scale cultural events. The first theme, Babel, focuses on art and language in France, while the second theme, Reparation, explores processes of repair in various dimensions. The renovation has improved circulation and opened new exhibition spaces for contemporary art.
