Salo IV: Erotic Drawing Salon Opens in Paris After Drawing Now!
The fourth edition of Salo, the Salon du dessin érotique, curated by Laurent Quénéhen, takes place in Paris from April 8 to 10, 2016, at 24 Beaubourg. The event follows Drawing Now!, the contemporary drawing fair held from March 30 to April 3. Quénéhen founded Salo in 2013 as a counterpoint to the official drawing salon, initially at his space Les Salaisons in Romainville, a former industrial charcuterie. After the sale of Les Salaisons, Salo IV moves to central Paris. The salon features works by nearly seventy artists, selected by Quénéhen for diversity, with a majority of women artists. Highlights include the genesis of Vincent Corpet's 602 drawings based on the 602 passions from the '120 Days of Sodom' by Marquis de Sade (1990-1991), previously shown at the Picasso.mania exhibition at the Grand Palais. Other artists include Raphaëlle Lavaud-Bonnard, Jojo Wang, Julie Dalmon, and Éric Pougeau. The salon is free and open to the public, but restricted to those over 16. Quénéhen hopes to recreate Les Salaisons elsewhere via crowdfunding.
