Asia Now Returns to La Monnaie with 70 Galleries and Cultural Festival Programming

Asia Now takes over the expansive spaces of La Monnaie, operating simultaneously as a contemporary art fair with 70 participating galleries and as a cultural festival offering a dense program of special projects. Among the highlighted presentations is the exhibition "Ce que la matière garde," which brings together ceramicist Kazunori Hamana and textile artist Marie Hazard. The dual format deliberately blurs the line between commercial art fair and cultural festival, positioning the event as both a marketplace and a curated cultural platform. The special exhibition pairing Hamana's ceramic practice with Hazard's textile work exemplifies the fair's approach of embedding curated projects within its gallery presentations. The event is held at La Monnaie in Paris.
