First Belleville Biennial Maps Paris's Emerging Art Triangle
From September 10 to October 28, 2010, the inaugural Belleville Biennial took place in eastern Paris, spearheaded by general commissioner Patrice Joly. This 'neighborhood biennial' focused on contemporary art venues in the locality, with the exhibition 'Solde Migratoire' at Carré Baudouin serving as its centerpiece. Among the showcased pieces were Julien Berthier's bronze sculpture 'Monstre' and Camille Henrot's installation 'Objets augmentés.' The newly established space, Contexts, presented videos exploring public space utilization. Significant exhibitions included works by Isa Melsheimer at Galerie Jocelyn Wolff, an excavation by Chloé Maillet and Louise Hervé at Galerie Marcelle Alix, and Dove Allouche's series at Carré Baudouin. Additionally, performative walks by Hamish Fulton and Lee Chow-Chun were part of the biennial.
