(The Squeeze) – The 2011 edition marks an important shift for Paris Photo, with a new venue at the Grand Palais and Julien Frydman as its new Director.
The arrival of Paris Photo at the Grand Palais at last offers this perpetual movement its full scope and enables it to present all the wealth and vitality of historical and contemporary photographic creation in what really is an exceptional environment.
With a selection of 135 exhibitors (galleries and publishers), with 65% of the galleries from overseas, 23 countries represented and 55 new participants, this anniversary edition grants a prominent place to renewal and discovery.
For its 15th edition, from 10 to 13 November, Paris Photo gives pride of place to African photography from Bamako to Cape Town and proposes a complete panorama of this scene: a powerful presence of the continent’s artists (44 representatives) with a number of South African galleries and an exhibition of the works of 12 young emerging photographers, organized by the Rencontres de Bamako.
