Contemporary Art Paris

Curating in Paris

I’ve worked with two prestigious galleries in Paris situated on Rue Saint Roch (ten minutes’ walk to the Louvre): Yapa Gallery to promote Aboriginal art from Australia, and Espace Art Roch to promote International and French contemporary art. Organising and curating regular in-house exhibitions, as well as external exhibitions, in collaboration with other galleries. I also co-managed the gallery’s openings, public programme and our participation in cultural events, private viewings, music concerts, and many art fairs and festivals including Parcours des Mondes, Art Paris, La Fête de la Musique, Festival de la Ville de Plaisir, Harmonic Fusion, La Nuit Blanche and others. 

In addition to co-curating exhibitions and events, I also managed the visual identity and communication plans of the gallery, designing and overseeing the delivery of art books, catalogues, promotional posters and invitations.
