Paris Art Week opens: 38 galleries free tonight for Matignon nocturne
The third Nocturne Matignon Saint-Honoré kicks off Paris Art Week from 5pm to 9pm tonight, with 38 galleries open free, a pedestrianized quarter, and open-air performances by Mathieu Forget and Amélie Caussade.
Why it matters
Paris Art Week opens tonight with the third Nocturne Matignon Saint-Honoré: from 5pm to 9pm, 38 galleries in the Matignon–Saint-Honoré quarter open their doors to the public free of charge, the streets go pedestrian-only, and two open-air performances punctuate the evening. It is the second consecutive year the nocturne partners with Art Basel Paris.
The art route was imagined by designer Jacques Grange. At the crossing of avenue Matignon and rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, dancer-photographer Mathieu Forget, aka "The Flying Man," presents a creation made for the event, playing with levitation and architecture; a few steps away, in front of Christie's, visual artist Amélie Caussade leads masked, costumed performers in a tribute to Sophie Taeuber-Arp.
Full report
Organizers say the evening is designed for seasoned collectors and the simply curious alike: every gallery exhibition and event is free to visit. Across Paris Art Week, more exhibitions and cultural events run citywide in parallel.
One note: Paris saw protests and scattered unrest this weekend, and the city advises checking transport updates before heading out; organizers say the nocturne goes ahead as planned.
