Asia NOW - Paris Asian Art Fair
Purchase Tickets
More than just an art fair Asia NOW is a curated platform fostering rich dialogues and deeply engaged programming. It encompasses a global selection of galleries showcasing artists from across Asia, and an ambitious platform dedicated to commissioning site-specific installations, projects, and performances. These works spark broader conversations around contemporary issues, uniting like-minded communities across the region and beyond.
The tenth anniversary edition of Asia Now, under the artistic direction of curatorial cooperative Radicants founded by Nicolas Bourriaud is a sensorial showcase entitled Ceremony. This tribute to collectivity challenges the art fair format to activate La Monnaie in an immersive congregation that includes art in all its vibrant and ritualistic forms.
Here, ceremony is a form of cultural practice, a celebration of ancestral wisdom and a critical tool that both reinforces and transforms social structures, traditions and hierarchies of power.
Within La Monnaie’s exhibition spaces, artistic practices engage with hospitality, conviviality, and social cohesion. The work transcends mere representation, exploring ceremonies through mutual care and the exuberant expressions of life. It invites contemplation on how artistic expressions can facilitate the processing of loss and trauma, particularly in these times marked by conflict and political upheaval. Ultimately, Asia Now stands as a vital testament to the enduring necessity of ceremonies in fostering empathy, resilience, and a shared vision of a more interconnected existence
