Miu Miu, Public Program Official Partner
Art Basel is proud to announce Miu Miu as Public Program Official Partner. As part of the partnership, Miu Miu will present a special project, titled ‘Tales & Tellers’, at the Palais d’Iéna, the headquarters of France’s Economic, Social, and Environmental Council.
The project is conceived by interdisciplinary artist Goshka Macuga, and convened by Elvira Dyangani Ose, director of MACBA, Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona. ‘Tales & Tellers’ will draw from two key creative ventures initiated by Miu Miu: its prestigious, bi-annual film commission ‘Women’s Tales’, which since 2011 has invited female filmmakers such as Mati Diop, Miranda July, and Agnès Varda to explore vanity and womanhood, as well as the videos taken from the artistic interventions from Miu Miu runway shows since Spring/Summer 2022 and time-based media works by artists such as Sophia Al-Maria, Cécile B. Evans, and Jeong Geum-hyung, presented within the context of the brand’s runway shows since 2021.
Clément Delépine, Director of Art Basel Paris, said: ‘Ambitious in scope and unprecedented in its nature, our partnership with Miu Miu also marks an important milestone in the show’s history, illustrating the role of Art Basel Paris as an organization that creates bridges and fosters fruitful exchanges between creative industries.’ https://www.artbasel.com/paris/public-program/palais-iena
For the third edition of its Paris show, Art Basel is pleased to introduce Oh La La!
Oh La La! Is a new initiative inviting exhibitors to stage a creative re-hanging of rarely exhibited and unusual artworks. Unfolding across 31 booths on Friday, October 18 and Saturday, October 19 at the Grand Palais, Oh La La! will create a playful itinerary through the fair and offer the visitors an opportunity to (re)discover the stands from a new perspective, underscoring the continuously shifting make-up of the show. The works and projects of this inaugural edition of Oh La La! will explore themes such as love, eroticism, history, the legacy of Surrealism, and Queer identity.
New locations of the Public Program
This year, five new venues have been added to the public program. Avenue Winston Churchill, Petit Palais, Cour de l’Hôtel de la Marine, Domaine National du Palais-Royal, and Hôtel de Sully will join the previous years’ locations: Palais d’Iéna, Beaux-Arts de Paris – Chapelle des Petits-Augustins, Parvis de l’Institut de France, and Musée National Eugène-Delacroix. From October 16 to 20, students from the École du Louvre will present the projects to visitors at all locations.
