The 2008 edition of FIAC reaffirms the strong points of its identity: a general interest fair that brings together modern art, contemporary art, emerging art creation and design. It is an international fair in which France occupies a priviledged position. It is also a Parisian event in the heart of the capital, held in exceptional sites organised in close collaboration with all of the key players of the artistic scene as well as museums, art centres, private collections and the market itself. And finally, it is an innovative fair that, for the first time this year, offers a series of artists’ performances organised in collaboration with the Louvre and the Jeu de Paume. FIAC 2008 will present 189 modern and contemporary art galleries as well as design galleries. 72 galleries are French, that is approximately 39%, 117 galleries (about 61%) are from abroad, representing 21 countries, the highest number coming from Germany, the United States and Italy. 42 galleries are first–time exhibitors.

This year, the growing interest among galleries and artists, as well as the exceptional context of the garden, has allowed us to bring together seventeen outdoor projects including monumental installations, performance works and sculptures. They come to life when the public interacts with them in the garden’s pathways, bushes and lawns. Projects presented Bertrand Lavier « Fontaine » – Galerie Kewenig Piece sponsored by GARDENA France EURL Aleksandra Mir “Plane Landing” – Galerie Laurent Godin Piece sposored by AVION Paris/New York Tadashi Kawamata “Tree Huts” – Galerie Kamel Mennour.

Each of these images shows a site that can be empty or peopled, in a city or in the countryside and identifiable or ambiguous. These photographs, taken by M/M (Paris) throughout the world, constitute a kind of archive “in progress”. The purpose of these images, which are part of their project with FIAC, is to create a link with a simple message—date, place, a short text such as “rendez-vous in Paris” or “in the centre of Paris”, or even simply the logo of FIAC (which was created by M/M in 2005). They have a specific context that is determined less by what the message says than by where it is distributed, its format, what it is printed on and who receives it. These visuals might have appeared on the cover of a handout that was created for distribution at the Venice Biennale, on an invitation to a reception in New York, on a page of publicity for English, American or Swiss magazines, on timetables at Roissy or for the Eurostar, on “sucettes”, the City of Paris’s advertising billboards or on the canvas on the Grand Palais façade, among others. This cumulative approach functions in a fluid and intuitive manner, according to various means of communication that include paradox, irony, discrepancy and multiple meanings, often appearing in opposition to what seems evident. Several specific themes are developed throughout the actions. Certain images are quite clear (for example the Statue of Liberty, along the Seine, seen from the back and the front, the Luxembourg Garden, spare parts photographed in a studio … or different means of transportation such as a car, vaporetto, airplane, barge, tramway, taxi or sea liner). Others are secret, and are meant to remain that way. For example, some images were taken from the windows of important personalities in the world of contemporary art. But did the people involved know that, or did they just recognize the view from their office or house? This fourth year provides an occasion to unveil a project that was, up until now, so diffracted that it was imperceptible. In order to understand it completely it would have been necessary to have read all the art magazines in the world, been in all of the categories of invited guests, received all of the invitations sent to them, possessed badges for exhibitors, collectors, professionals, artists and journalists, purchased every kind of entry ticket, and arrived simultaneously in Paris by train and airplane. The idea is to assemble everything that was distributed, to bring all of the elements that were used for FIAC’s external communication inside the fair and to unify formats that until now had been differentiated as much as possible… 30 images were chosen, transferred to a 400 x 300 poster and placed side by side to create a landscape that is longer than 400 metres. This frieze occupies spaces that haven’t been used since the Grand Palais was reopened. It is situated on the balconies that go around the nave, 9 metres from the ground. Inaccessible to the public, halfway between the floor with all the galleries and the omnipresent sky diffused through the glass ceiling of the Grand Palais, the images form a continuous silent, familiar and enigmatic landscape. This project was realised thanks to the support of Sony, who through 20 VAIO computers placed throughout FIAC, offers an exclusive, numbered and limited series screensaver that presents an animated version of the “Frise”. 38 THE MARCEL DUCHAMP PRIZE exhibition of nominated artists: Michel Blazy, Stéphane Calais, Laurent Grasso, Didier Marcel From 23 to 26 October 2008 – Cour Carrée du Louvre The winner will be announced on Saturday 25 October 2008 at 11am and his work shown at the Centre Pompidou during the summer of 2009 Created in 2000 by collectors belonging to the ADIAF, (Association for the International Diffusion of French Art), the Marcel Duchamp prize is organised in partnership with the Centre Pompidou, the Musée national d’art moderne and FIAC. Its ambition is to encourage the international recognition of the French art scene by rewarding an artist living in France who is working in the field of fine arts or visual arts. International jury 2008 Pierre Darier, Collector, President of Mamco (Switzerland) Gilles Fuchs, President of the ADIAF (France) Jacqueline Matisse–Monnier, Artist (France) Alfred Pacquement, Director of the Musée national d’art moderne, Centre Pompidou (France) Julia Peyton–Jones, Director of the Serpentine Gallery (Great Britain) Guy Tossato, Director of the Musée de Grenoble (France) Walter Vanhaerents, Collector (Belgium) The Marcel Duchamp Prize is supported by the following companies: Lombard Odier Darier Hentsch, Artcurial, DTAM, Inlex IP Expertise and backing from Axense and CreativTv Semi–finalists for the eighth edition: Michel Blazy Born in 1966 in Monaco, lives and works in Paris Nominated by: Marc–Olivier Walher, Director of the Palais de Tokyo Galerie Art:Concept, Paris A sculptor working with unusual materials, the art of Michel Blazy has evolved with his works in feathers and foam. Fascinated by organic materials, perishable goods and dried foods, his creations are based on themes that reflect the human condition: death, decay and putrefication. For example, Michel Blazy has exhibited decaying tomatoes, evidence of Man’s inevitablle fate, but also of the beauty and the strangeness of the constantly changing natural world. He also mixes humor in his culture as is reflected with his sculptures of flashy light–yellow soy noodles, poodles made of shaving cream and a unique sheet made of wallpaper and spaghetti. Stéphane Calais Born in 1967 in Arras, lives and works in Paris Nominated by: Jean de Loisy, Exhibtion curator, art critic Galerie Jocelyn Wolff, Paris Stéphane Calais is an atypical figure in contemporary art. The artist is proud of his dilattante approach and numerous influences. Tales, legends and popular icons are re–intepreted and integrated into a universe in which abstraction and figuration co–exist. Stéphane Calais claims that “… my ‘atypical’ label surprised me for a long time. I imagine my pieces efficently and in relation to my committments. Naturally, drawing, my basic artistic instrument, allows me to navigate the different areas that it crosses — that is to say, everywhere. The standard questions arise from the medium in which I am working (painting, wall drawings and collages of objects or images…). It is their proximity that creates the tensions, ellipses or shortcuts that also arise when they are brought together.” 39 Laurent Grasso Born 1972 in Mulhouse, lives and works in Paris Nominated by: Michel Gauthier, Art critic Galerie Chez Valentin, Paris Whether he (re)activates more or less identifiable forms from our over–controlled society, or whether he deforms the cinematographic techniques and conventions that influence our collective imagination, Laurent Grasso creates environments with a strong narrative potential that mixes ancestral fears, scientific phemomena and meaning contemporary myths. Michel Gauthier believes that Grasso’s poetics are created by the tension between two paranoias – etymologically between two positions beyond truth – that we are threatend by in our information–saturated world. In less than a decade, Grasso’s works employing diverse means (film, light, sound, models, engravings, etc.) have disturbed our aesthetic conscience and the certitudes of contemporary viewpoints. Didier Marcel Born in 1961 in Besançon, lives and works in Dijon Nominated by: Xavier Douroux, Director of the Dijon Consortium Galerie Michel Rein, Paris Didier Marcel’s artistic approach, begun in the 80s, is centred on the idea of opposition and contrast. By developing an enlarged sculptural practice, he proposes a singular vision of space. The spectator no longer goes around the scupture, but rather the entire installation encloses him in the exhibition space. By changing the dimensions of objects from daily life, Didier Marcel overturns the order of things and their localisation in a social space. He allows us to imagine our relationship with the landscape, which has become an idealised reality, in a different way. This can be seen, for example, with the architectural models or natural elements (birch logs, trees made of material) that he uses in his work. Extract of texts from Creativtv. 40 A brief summary of ADIAF – www.adiaf.com The ADIAF – Association for the International Diffusion of French Art under the law of 1901 (non– profit association) – is the largest group of private contemporary art collectors in France today. Created in 1994, the association mobilises the energy of its 220 members around its ambitious goal to support the French art scene, to encourage new artisitc forms and to enable a wide public to understand the vitality of contemporary artworks. Thus, in 2000 it established the MARCEL DUCHAMP PRIZE, the first prize created by collectors to encourage the recognition of new talent and to accompany the international development of these artists. Today this prize is considered the French equivalent of the British “Turner Prize”. Six aritsts have been distinguished so far: Thomas Hirschhorn (2000–2001), Dominique Gonzalez–Foerster (2002), Mathieu Mercier (2003), Carole Benzaken (2004), Claude Closky (2005), Philippe Mayaux (2006) and Tatiana Trouvé (2007).

YCI’s objective is to bring to Paris, during the week of FIAC, a group of five promising figures among the emerging generation of intellectuals, critics and exhibition curators. Selected from proposals made by international insitutions, FIAC and the Fondation d’entreprise Ricard organise four days of meetings with personalities of the Parisian art scene. In 2007, a series of more than 20 meetings allowed the YCI participants to exchange ideas with numerous artists (Mario Garcia–Torres, Laurent Montaron, etc.), to compare their experiences with curators (Stéphanie Moisdon, Christine Macel, etc.) and to have the privileged advantage of discovering many exhibition venues (Fondation Kadist, CAC Brétigny, Palais de Tokyo, The Swiss Cultural Center, etc.). The 2008 YCI participants are: Maria Garzia (Rome) Virginija Januskeviciute (Vilnius) Chessia Kelley (New York) Mariangela Mendez (Bogota) Fredrik Svensk (Gothenburg) They were individually recommended by the members of the selection committee composed of: Yves Aupetitallot – Le Magasin Nicolas Bourriaud – Tate Britain Ann Demeester – De Appel John Rajchman – Columbia University Marc–Olivier Walher – Palais de Tokyo FIAC and the Fondation d’entreprise Ricard are committed to following the professional progression of the YCI program participants by offering them the chance to discover under ideal conditions the lively artisitc scene and to meet the actors in the art world who have come to Paris during the fair. Maria Garzia (Italy) Maria Garzia received a specialist degree in the History of Contemporary Art at “La Sapienza” University, Rome with her thesis on “Brown Boveri”– the result of a period of study in Milan. After studying for one year at the Sorbonne, Paris, she participated in the activities of various institutions in Rome including the Fondazione Baruchello and the Fondazione Volume! Her main interest is the relationship between art and public space. This interest developed during her involvement in the project “Tra–Monti” organized by the Associazione 270gg and through the realization of a project of public art, “L’impercettibilità della visione”, with the artist Marina Fulgeri and the Associazione Wunderkammern. She has recently finished her international training as a curator at the Ecole du Magasin, Grenoble. At present she is working on a publication project which developed through research conducted on the situation of curators in Italy. 42 Virginija Januskeviciute (Lithuania) Virginija Januskeviciute is currently back at work as a curator at the Contemporary Art Centre (CAC) in Vilnius after completing the Appel Curatorial programme in Amsterdam.

She has studied History and Theory of Art at Vilnius Academy of Arts before joining the curatorial team of CAC in 2002. She has been engaged in the making of several large scale international exhibitions, individual artists’ projects, shows of young artists, publications and, crucially, the CAC TV – the CAC’s weekly project for television (2004–2007). Among other recent projects are a production of “Vilnius Is Burning”, consisting of an exhibition in Torino and a book (curated by Raimundas Malasauskas), curating “The Joy is Not Mentioned” project by Egle Budvytyte, Goda Budvytyte and Ieva Miseviciute for the CAC and co–organisation of “iMagine” seminar in Vilnius, one of the Public Preparation events of the Biennale of Young Artists in Tallinn, in 2007. Chessia Kelley (United States) Chessia Kelley received an undergraduate degree from Georgetown University with a major in Art History and minors in Italian and Political Science. She is currently completing a Masters in Modern Art at Columbia University in New York. In 2007 she completed an internship at The Peggy Guggenheim Collection during the 52nd Venice Biennale. She also served as curatorial intern at The Contemporary Arts Center of Cincinnati acting as a research assistant to Toby Kamps, Senior Curator, Cynthia Goodman, Interim Director, and current Director Raphaella Platow. She is currently working as Curatorial Assistant to Independent Curator Dr. Cynthia Goodman, assisting in the assembly of a photography exhibition at The New Orleans Museum of Art entitled The Art of Caring. Chessia recently curated an exhibition at MurMur Gallery in Cincinnati entitled The Today Show. Mariangela Mendez (Colombia) Mariangela Mendez is an independent curator and works as an Assistant Professor at the Arts Department, Faculty of Art and Humanities, Universidad de los Andes, Bogotá (2006– on going).

Recent projects: Äkta Vara (true being / true commodity) 2007 was investigating different contemporary processes of subjectivation, with artists Debora Elgeholm, Annika Eriksson, Isabell Heimerdinger, Saskia Holmkvist, Katya Sander and Carey Young. Art After Education, 2008 reexamines the critical aspects of the method used in Adrian Piper’s work Bach Whistled, 1970, by putting it into a contemporary socio–political context, with works by artists Elke Marhöfer, Ida Börjel, Malmö Free University for Women. 43 THE CONFERENCES FIAC is organising a series of three conference round-tables programs, in collaboration with three partners: – “Producing art/from private vision to public space”, part of the Global Art Forum, in partnership with Art Dubaï, round–table discussion on 23 October, at 5pm, in the Auditorium of the Grand Palais – Public entrance – avenue Winston Churchill – 75008 Paris – “Collector/Collection: artists’ publications”; in partnership with the Artisbooks Salon and Centre Pompidou, round–table discussion on Friday 24 at 4pm at the Centre Pompidou – place Georges Pompidou – 75004 Paris – “Performances : creating events”, in partnership with 104, round– table debate Saturday 25th at 104 at 6pm – 104 rue d’Aubervilliers – 75019 Paris The term “performance” has no historical equivalent among the styles of artistic disciplines. In fact, it emerged at a time when the discipinary classification of artistic practices gave way to a terminology that was based on the way art was produced: one has to think of “art performance” (as the British call it) in the same way as conceptual art or Minimalism. The way the performance is carried out, in this sense, places the work inside the event itself. As part of FIAC and its performance series, this debate to be held at 104 intends to discuss contemporary methods of “doing something” in performance, based on various practices that exist in different fields (literature, visual arts, living arts), in order to identify different types of events. 44 THE COMMISSION OF CENTRE NATIONAL DES ARTS PLASTIQUES MINISTER OF CULTURE AND COMMUNICATION CENTRE NATIONAL DES ARTS PLASTIQUES (CNAP) For the third year in a row, the commission of the CNAP, responsable for acquiring contemporary artworks for the State, will meet during the 35th edition of FIAC. At this time, the CNAP will allocate its 400,000 euro budget to purchases for the collections of the Fonds National d’Art Contemporain (FNAC). This action confirms the support of the Visual Arts Delegation of the Ministry of Culture and Communication to the French artmarket. In 2007, works by the following artists were acquired: Dennis Adams, Eleanor Antin, Kader Attia, Robert Barta, Vincent Beaurin, Inaki Bonillas, Tony Brown, Isabelle Cornaro, Tony Cragg, Matali Crasset, Wim Delvoye, Véronique Ellena, Mounir Fatmi, Ceal Floyer, Joanne Greenbaum, Camille Henrot, Changha Hwang, Armand Jalut, Véronique Joumard, Julius Koller, Frédéric Lecomte, Tobias Lehner, Frédérique Lucien, Arnaud Maguet, Christian Marclay, Ivan Navarro, Joao Onofre, Alexandre Perigot, Guillaume Pinard, Philippe Starck, Catherine Van Eetvelde, Danh Vo, Pavel Wolberg, Virginie Yassef. The acquired works join the FNAC, the most important international collection of contemporary art in France. The CNAP is responsable for their management and distribution throughout France and abroad. Formed essentially by purchases and commissions from the CNAP in acting for the State, the collection has grown since the beginning of the 80s with more than 20,000 works in the fields of visual arts, photography, decorative arts and design. An active policy of loans and deposits ensures that these works are exhibited publicly. Thus, every year, more than 500 works are entrusted to museums, government offices and embassies. At the same time, more than 3,500 works are leant for temporary exhibitions in France or abroad. Recent visual art acquistions have been exhibited in Grenoble, Nantes, Marseille, Rouen, Lyon, Amiens and Rochechouart as well as in Geneva, Sao Paulo, Mexico, Miami and Bucarest. The design collections have been shown in Taipei, Seoul and Saint–Étienne, and in 2004 in Paris, with an important transfer of 2,000 objects. Major monographic or thematic photographic series have been regularily presented abroad, biennales held in Moscow, Bamako and China as well as in exhibitions in Séoul, Bangkok, Spain, Portugal and Poland. The choices will be announced at the close of the commision during the fair and the acquired works indicated to the public on a note card. The National Consultative Art Commission (visual arts division) which is responsable for acquisitions is named every three years and composed of 5 members representing the State and 9 qualified personalities, including 2 artists. It meets at the beginning of the fair after having visited all of the sites. The choices are made in accordance with the orientation of the Ministry of Culture and Communication: to give particular attention to young artists, to purchase outstanding pieces by established artists in order to assemble a significant number of their works, and to be open to different trends in international art. The members of the “visual arts” acquisition commission 2006 – 2008: The fine arts delegate, President of the commission The Director of the CNAP The Director of the Musée national d’art moderne The Director of the Musées de France The General Inspector for art creation Daniel Firman, artist Bernard Piffaretti, artist Bruno Caron, collector Henri–François Debailleux, art critic Lorand Hegyi, Director of the Musée d’art moderne of Saint–Étienne Isabelle Manci, fine arts advisor for the Ile–de–France region Philippe Piguet, art critic Michel Poitevin, collector Jean–Charles Vergne, Director du FRAC Auvergne Press contact : Sophie Lawani / [email protected] Heymann, Renoult Associées 29, rue Jean-Jacques Rousseau - 75001 Paris Tél. 01 44 61 76 76 - Fax 01 44 61 74 40 www.heymann-renoult.com 45 FIAC SPONSORS FIAC would like to thank its sponsors for the 2008 edition.

That is why we are a global patron of the arts and why we are proud to be the primary sponsor of the FIAC 2008 in Paris, a city that is not only home to some of the world’s greatest art, but also to more than 400 of our employees and many of our customers. As a global company, State Street has a long history of striving for innovation in servicing our customers in France and around the world. As such, we believe we share a common interest in forward thinking and ingenuity with many of the artists that display at the FIAC. Instead of working with color and shape, however, our innovation comes in the form of new products and services. Whether launching the world’s first exchange-traded fund 15 years ago or an industry-leading over-the-counter derivatives servicing platform in August, State Street provides its customers with the tools they need to be successful. We are very excited to help bring the masterpieces of outstanding artists from around the world to the 35th annual FIAC, an event that is as committed to showcasing some of the world’s greatest art as we are to ensuring the success of our customers. Congratulations to the many artists on display this year and enjoy the exhibition! 47 Over the years, agnès b. has supported contemporary art though various partnerships and philanthropic initiatives involving the arts, cinema, and music as well as social and humanitarian concerns Because she generously, believes that art should be exhibited everywhere, and accessible to all, the Galerie du Jour agnès b. was opened in 1984 and in 1997 along with curator Hans-Ulrich Obrist and French artist Christian Boltanski she initiated the publication of the free periodical “Point of Irony”.

Air travel must remain the world of enthusiasm that it was for its pioneers”, said Francois Brousse, Air France Vice President Corporate Communications. As a precursor, Air France developed a new approach to air transport that today enables it to offer its increasingly international and demanding customers a unique travel experience. All the airline’s products and services are designed for one single purpose: to enable passengers to re-energize themselves so that they feel refreshed after their flight, and have been able to transform time lost into time regained. Each of the 13 corporate campaign visuals poetically illustrates one area of inflight service: comfort, refinement, attentive crew, the quality of meals and entertainment. This campaign metaphorically illustrates the well-being felt by the passenger, who is the main character of the campaign, in the various aspects of service. Air France does not just talk about well-being, but invites its passengers to experience it.” 49 Thirst of communication The Akwacom came up with a new and creative project which offers you one of the best opportunities for the promotion of your company as well as for the transfer of multiple messages to your colleagues or your clients.

Inspired by the rituals of the Orient, ONDE offers an imaginative, seductive and intoxicating journey for the senses. ONDE an echo, a vibration that remains. ONDE Mystere, ONDE Vertige, ONDE Extase ... A lost memory, a fantasy...Each setting represents an exotic kingdom, each setting leaves a scent whose lingering notes cause the air to resonate, making this woman’s passing an unforgettable experience. These fragrances are writing a new chapter in perfumery. « Neo-oriental » fragrances, reinterpretations of classic orientals. A contemporary vision that defines a pure and vibrant architecture of light in which the opulence, density and lingering notes of the fragrance are given full expression. From the gates of Asia ... ONDE Mystère Inspired by a fantastical Middle East, ONDE Mystère, a fragrance as fascinating as an enigma, a blend of vitality and sensuality like the incomparable gestures of the mysterious women of the Harem with their kohl-lined gaze. The MUSKY ORIENTAL is reinventing the attraction of musk with a surprisingly light, radiant touch over a new olfactory signature with invigorating incense and mesmerizing accords of amber and benzoin. The traditional musk-amber heart, a store of secrets inherited from the Fine Perfumery, is given a feminine touch with soft and enchanting Moroccan Rose buds. To quicken the pulse even further, it is nourished by the captivating tension between the stimulation of incense and the intriguing mysterious richness of vanilla absolute and benzoin. A final dash of spices completes the spell. To the origins of the Kama Sutra... ONDE Vertige A fragrance inspired by India, the India of temples and palaces, opulent, breathtaking, boundless India... The FLORAL ORIENTAL is a bold, modern interpretation of an oriental fragrance, in which the captivating trace of sensual frangipani flower, caressed by black liquorice, is set ablaze by patchouli. The apparent innocence of the flowers conceals an experience of supreme sensory intoxication. The sunny frangipani flower is sharpened by a vibrant burst of pittosporum and jasmine petals. It blends with addictive, velvety, soft black liquorice. Intense, sensual patchouli inflames the lingering notes. To the kingdom of the Rising Sun... ONDE Extase A fragrance that takes its inspiration from the art of the geishas, who know how to weave time and transform a fleeting instant into an eternity, fatally bewitching. The WOODY ORIENTAL adds a modern luminosity to the classic oriental structure. Cedar creates a new woody-powdery addiction that is infinitely distinguished. The profusion of sophisticated and dangerously sensual, powdery mimosa is illuminated by Egyptian Jasmine and narcissus absolute. It is enlivened with a spicy burst of pink pepper and Sicilian Bergamot and then draped in the entrancing notes of cedar, heightened by musk and sesame absolute. ONDE A trilogy of fragrances, an empire for the senses.

ART LEASE and ETAT DE SIEGE have imagined open spaces, monochrome in black, white and grey, warmed up with a few red touches. With the FIAC spirit in mind, the V.I.P spaces have been furnished with multiple LIVING DIVANI sofas and armchairs, with cubic shapes, generous and flexible at wish. These seats are associated with FREEMAN low tables with pure lines, as well as a few re-issues of PIERRE PAULIN “tulip” armchairs next to LILLA stools by PATRICK NORGUET. Both partners wish to underline the diversity of the materials and the finishing touches offered by the present design production and to create thus a simple and harmonious emotional line for an exceptional place and event. In this spirit the “outdoor” sofa BELLINI HOUR by CLAUDIO BELLINI for SERRA LUNGA will be presented in “avant premiere”. In contrast, a few stools by a very promising designer, CONSTANTIN GRCIC, for an extra contemporary universe. ART LEASE and ETAT DE SIEGE have also conceived the Art Press Publisher spaces in the same spirit playing with a black and white chessboard effect, staging the chair punk by ARCHIRIVOLTO with a fun and extraterrestrial design, and the OBO shelves by JEFF MILLER. ART LEASE founded in 1994, has developed a new concept, based upon leasing and financing works of art dedicated to companies. Any sculpture, painting, drawing, lithography or photograph on the market is available. ART LEASE offers a solution that enables companies to purchase works of art or furniture from galleries by means of a leasing program. The works of art are leased for 12 to 48 months. Advice, research, installation and insurance are included in the rent. It is possible to purchase the works of art at the end of the contract, with an option to buy at a special price. This concept has been extended to the office furniture since 2003. This flexible and fiscally attractive formula enables companies to access a more qualitative and aesthetic work environment. Numerous companies have chosen this solution: APRR, BRIDGPOINT, COMPASS, DTZ, FRANCETELEVISIONS PUBLICITE, MEDEF, PUBLICIS GROUP MEDIA, ZADIG & VOLTAIRE… Created in 1985, ETAT DE SIEGE has made the simple but innovative choice to offer a place totally dedicated to the universe of seats, all styles and shapes together, presenting unique and unexpected pieces. ETAT DE SIEGE has on show today more than 800 references; all displayed in tow Parisian shops: 21 Avenue de Friedland, (Right Bank) and 1 Quai Conti, (Left Bank). EDS-Contract, company created for the professionals, offers them a rare knowledge of brands, and exceptional logistics. Among a few of their achievements: the Salle Pleyel, the Printemps dome, the Cité de la Musique, the Musée de l’Eau, the Piaget boutiques, the Curie Institute, the headquarters of Venteprivée.com and of Eurazeo… EDS-Contract has collaborated with numerous prescribers like ABOUT IT Company, who is their partner on the FIAC development plan.

Our partnership began four years ago, and each year the relationship between FIAC and AXA Art develops further. As the leading insurer of art works, it is imperative for us to be present and visible during this rendez-vous that brings together our clients: collectors, museums and galleries. It is a way for us to affirm our role as an important player in the world of art and to meet our future clients,” asserts Christian Muller, president of AXA Art France. Martin Bethenod, head curator of FIAC, confirms this relationship: “AXA Art plays an essential role in the heart of the art world, in constant contact with all of its personalities, dealers, collectors and institutions... We are proud of the fact that in 2005, AXA Art was one of the first to believe in the revived energy of the Parisian scene, in FIAC’s potential and decided to accompany its renewal. It is a long-term engagement, one that above all looks to the future and is attentive to the evolutions, practices and new developing areas of the market.” AXA Art pursues this engagement in the world of art with an important sponsorship program, the AXA Art Research Grant, which supports research and the development of methods of preservation and restoration of art works. The recipients of the AXA Art Research Grant are: the “Tate AXA Art Modern Paints project” in collaboration with the Tate Gallery, the “AXA Art Ad Reinhardt Research grant” with the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation and the MOMA, and the “AXA Art Conservation Research Project” which is carried out with the Vitra Design Museum.

Whether in New York, Frankfurt, London or Hong Kong, our policy in this field is voluntary and follows three main lines. Firstly, we own a collection of contemporary art that was started back in 1990 and now comprises some 1,000 works. Secondly, we are long-standing sponsors of the major cultural institutions in the various countries in which we are established. And lastly, we are involved locally in numerous charitable cultural ventures benefiting the underprivileged. We strive, through these different ventures, to get members of staff involved. In so doing they have the opportunity to get to know one another better and to gain access to new forms of artistic expression. In this way, we regularly organise art exhibitions and invite artists and critics to speak at events held in our offices throughout the world. This commitment of ours is a reflection of values dear to our partnership, which goes back to 1802, and allows us to demonstrate the qualities of creativity, innovation and openness to others, qualities that are found in the more classic aspects of our professional practice and with which we endeavor to provide our clients. The lawyers at Clifford Chance Paris are proud to work alongside the FIAC. 57 ELLE Décoration has teamed up with FIAC on it’s 35th Edition. At this exceptional meeting of enthusiasts, FIAC demonstrates outstanding artistic talent and the global influence of contemporary art. This occasion for ELLE Décoration confirms its ongoing dedication to creativity and innovation. Newly discovered up and coming talent as well as passion for art and design are the essential values on which our partnership is based.

The space was devised with a view to showcasing artists and confirms the permanent commitment of the Foundation to young contemporary creation. Nicolas Bourriaud will serve as curator for the exhibition “The consistency of the visible”. For the 10th anniversary of the Prize, he has decided to add a “critical preamble” bringing together both “historical” and confirmed artists to the usual concept – the presentation of artists emerging on the young French scene. The young artists selected for the award are Julien Discrit, Cyprien Gaillard, Camille Henrot, Emmanuelle Lainé, Gyan Panchal, Abraham Poincheval, Laurent Tixador, Lili Reynaud-Dewar, and Raphaël Zarka. The 10th Fondation d’Entreprise Ricard Prize will be awarded on October 24 to one of these artists on the occasion of the Bal Jaune. In the continuity of its regular invitations made to young curators, the Fondation d’Entreprise Ricard continues its partnership with the FIAC through its support of the « Young Curator’s Invitation » (YCI) program which the aim is to increase the visibility of young French creators abroad, consists in inviting young foreign art critics to visit the fair, galleries, art centres, museums as well as to meet artists active on the French scene. Also to promote events of young artistic French scene, the Fondation d’Entreprise Ricard supports for the first time the FIAC web TV (production Artivi).

The artists are Saâdane Afif, Wilfrid Almendra, Davide Balula, Michel Blazy, Delphine Coindet, Sophie Dubosc, Marc Etienne, Cyprien Gaillard, Laurent Grasso, Nicolas Moulin and Clément Rodzielski. Once again this year the Galeries Lafayette is continuing its support of the French art scene by presenting a selection of works that have come into Ginette Moulin and Guillaume Houzé’s collection over the past twelve months. Over the years then, marked by these two collectors’ desire to form coherent groups of works that are representative of the world of often emerging artists, a landscape has slowly taken shape. In it one can make out notably Saâdane Afif, Michel Blazy, Delphine Coindet, Laurent Grasso and Nicolas Moulin, who have already been spotted in years past and who are joined this year by such new faces as Wilfrid Almendra, Davide Balula and Cyprien Gaillard, along with a few genuine discoveries like Sophie Dubosc, Marc Etienne and Clément Rodzielski. Will one perhaps recognize the portrait of a generation through these purely subjective choices someday? This year as well, anxious to play a role in the thinking about French artists’ place in the international scene, the Galeries Lafayette hopes to carry forward the recurrent debate about the “so-called” decline of French culture that some have asserted. With the Journal des Arts, roundtable discussions bringing together both French and foreign professionals (artistes, collectors, gallery owners, officials of art institutions) have been scheduled for the first weeks of summer 2008 on a range of themes: French art and exporting – What visibility for the French art scene? – What renewal for collectors? – How to energize the art market in France? – Where is art criticism now? A summary of these debates will be published in a special edition of the Journal des Arts due out on 19 September 2008. This dossier will also be made available in a bilingual French and English off-print at the Antidote show and during the FIAC international art fair, with which Group Galeries Lafayette is continuing its partnership. Begun in 2005, the Ginette Moulin / Guillaume Houzé Collection boasts today some 250 works by 30 artists, in particular Saâdane Afif, Didier Marcel Mathieu Mercier and Tatiana Trouvé, as well as a certain number of foreign artists now, such as Ryan Gander, Peter Coffin, David Noonan and Rupert Nurfolk. * The exhibition Antidote was initiated in 2005 by Guillaume Houzé (the great-great-grandson of Théophile Bader, the founder of the department store) with the support of his grandmother Madame Ginette Moulin (chair of the supervisory board of Group Galeries Lafayette).

Its flagship is, of course, Le Figaro, the first general French daily newspaper. With its 180 year exerience, growing and moving with its time, it is closely linked to current affairs. Every day, its editorial staff dedicates itself to various themes: significant events, trends and prospects of an ever changing world. FIAC is one major opportunitie that can’t be missed. Because art anchors creation in our evolution, and because FIAC brings symbolic international galleries together, Le Figaro – as it has in the past - is happy to bring its support to this major event in contemporary art. Le Groupe Figaro is the first press group online. Since June 2008, Le figaro.fr is the first French news website. 62 “City of Paris – Contemporary Art” Jordi Colomer / Anarchitekton (Bucarest 1), 2003, chromogenic print back-mounted on aluminium, 75 x 60 cm, edition 1/3. © Jordi Colomer / Adagp, galerie Michel Rein, Paris. For the fifth year running, the Fonds municipal d’art contemporain de la Ville de Paris (Fmac – Paris municipal contemporary art collection) is presenting its 51 new acquisitions made in 2007 at the City of Paris – Contemporary Art stand. It is the only public-sector collection exhibited at the Fiac (international contemporary art fair). Through this initiative, Paris City Hall further strengthens its support for creativity and artists. The Fmac in 2007, 51 new works of art Acquisitions exploring urban and political themes In 2007, the Fmac added to its collection 51 works by 38 artists, acquired from 22 galleries and 9 artists. The works are inspired by urban and political themes. The annual acquisition commission brings together a panel of qualified members and members of the Paris City Hall cultural affairs division in equal proportions. The panel reviews the proposals made by its members and by artists. The invited members of the 2007 selection panel were Paula Aisemberg, director of the Maison Rouge foundation, Sylvie Boulanger, director of the Cneai – Centre national de l’estampe et de l’art imprimé (national centre for prints and printed art), Anne Dressen, conservation manager at the ARC/Musée d’art moderne de la Ville de Paris (Paris municipal modern art museum) and Charlotte Laubard, director of the CAPC musée d’Art contemporain de Bordeaux (Bordeaux contemporary art museum). The Fmac, an original instrument of Paris City Hall’s cultural policy The Fmac expresses the support that Paris City Hall gives to French and international artists living or exhibiting in Paris, to the promotion of contemporary art and to awareness-raising initiatives involving all sectors of society. As early as 1816, Paris City Hall launched an original initiative that involved commissioning and purchasing works of art from living artists to encourage creativity and furnish the City Hall and arrondissement town hall buildings. This collection, known as Collections municipales, was renamed Fonds municipal d’art contemporain (Fmac) in 1987. The Fmac boasts 20,000 works including 3,000 contemporary pieces, intended to be exhibited in municipal buildings. Paris is the only city in the world to own such a large collection and so broadly open to those who live, work or visit the capital. Contemporary art at the heart of the city to make it more accessible to all In all of Paris’ arrondissements, the collection is almost entirely exhibited in 450 public-service buildings and facilities (Paris City Hall, town halls, schools, libraries, nurseries, academies, school canteens, hospitals, etc.). The Fmac has installed 4,410 works in Paris since 2001. In 2007, the Fmac conducted a proactive artistic policy: > At the Conservatoire à rayonnement régional de Paris (regional arts academy), 8th arrondissement: Adam Adach, Christophe Cuzin, Jean-Louis Garnell, Véronique Joumard. > At the town hall of the 2nd arrondissement: Raed Bawayah, Mircea Cantor, Olga Kisseleva, Bruno Serralongue, Lidwien van de Ven. > At the town hall of the 13th arrondissement: Julien Audebert, Edouard Boyer, Hans-Peter Feldmann, Loris Gréaud, Chourouk Hriech, Vincent Lamouroux. > In the Charlotte Delbo and Marguerite Audoux libraries: Marcelline Delbecq, Angela Detanico and Rafael Lain, Malachi Farrell, Bill Fontana, Daniel Lainé, Audrey Nervi and Jean-Michel Sanejouand. This unique way of presenting the works enables enhanced interaction between them and people in their daily lives. You only have to borrow books, go to school or to the academy, have lunch in the canteen or sort out an administrative formality to come across works of art. Exhibitions to make best use of the collection The Fmac loans works to many national- and international-scale exhibitions and itself organises exhibitions to highlight the collection. In 2007-2008, it organised Intrusions au Petit Palais: le Fonds municipal d’art contemporain. Alongside the museum’s permanent collections, 122,000 visitors viewed 50 works of contemporary art.

His sources of inspiration include rock music, of which the artist is a connoisseur, popular images, children’s books, school textbooks, anything constituting a universally accessible popular culture. . Why make the Clubman into a work of art? “The Clubman, with its character and unique design, is a symbol of contemporary art which, today, expresses itself in a wide variety of universes”, answers Emmanuel Bret, Director of the MINI in France. MINI, the brand precursor of trends, and Combas, the libertarian artist, are brought together through this unique concept. The new MINI Clubman, infinitely customizable, is the very expression of freedom, of absolute design. The only asymmetrical vehicle on the market, it can claim originality and exclusiveness. A unique concept, a unique work.

To Moleskine, Fiac represents an ideal occasion to consolidate its bond with the world of contemporary art intensifying its dialogue with the numerous artists who use Moleskine everyday in their creative works. The artists of Fiac are invited to join the non-profit Detour project, an itinerant group show that features internationally recognized artists. Past Detour exhibitions took place in London(2006), New York (2007), Paris (2008) and from October 30 to November 16, 2008 Detour will be in Berlin in few days. Come and visit next Detour Event in Berlin at: Werkbundarchiv - Museum der Dinge Oranienstrasse 25 - Berlin-Kreuzberg Opening: Wednesday, October 29 from 19:00 until 22:00 Press Preview Wednesday, October 29, 18:30 Exhibition dates: October 30 - November 16, 2008 www.moleskine.com/detour About Moleskine® Culture, imagination, memory, travel, personal identity. Moleskine is a brand identifying a family of notebooks, planners and guidebooks: versatile and essential companions both in everyday life and for special occasions, becoming an integral part of the personality of each of us. The Moleskine brand was born in 1997, reproducing the legendary notebook of great artists and thinkers of the past two centuries, from Vincent Van Gogh to Pablo Picasso, from Ernest Hemingway to Bruce Chatwin: a trusty, pocket-sized travel companion, the anonymous black notebook was the faithful keeper of sketches, notes, stories and tips before they became famous pictures or pages of well-loved books. Since January 1, 2007 Moleskine is also the name of the company which manufactures and distributes the legendary notebook and its many descendants. Today, Moleskine accompanies the creative efforts and the imaginary of our time: it is a symbol of modernday nomadism, closely connected with the digital world through a network of websites, blogs, online groups and virtual archives. www.moleskine.com Detour Detour is a travelling group show featuring the Moleskine notebooks designed by internationally recognized artists, architects, film directors, graphic designers, illustrators, and writers. Detour is a Moleskine project supporting the non-profit lettera27 foundation. Previous Detour exhibitions took place in Paris, New York and London. Through the changing exhibition locations, Detour is always attracting new artists to the project, especially creative artists that are particularly related to the cities where exhibitions take place. The notebooks displayed during all Detour exhibitions are permanently shown on the Moleskine website. A single post is dedicated to each author, with photo, video, and biography.Curator: Raffaella Guidobono.

As the sponsor of the spectacular Monumenta art event from the beginning, incarnated in 2008 by Richard Serra at the Grand Palais, Neuflize OBC returns, for the second time this year, to the magnificent setting of this glass and steel vault to celebrate this essential meeting of contemporary art. The partnership with the Fiac consolidates its position of reference sponsor for the visual arts in France. This initiative complements its sponsorship policy characterized by dynamism and innovation in the service of the contemporary creation and of the valorisation of cultural heritage. It is also for Neuflize OBC a mean to keep its eyes opened on the world, through the representation of artistic diversity and creativity, and to question the values characterizing the private banker. The Neuflize OBC sponsorship policy sets out to combine the culture of the past with that of the future, to associate the visual arts and the cinema, and to coordinate its actions with those of Neuflize Vie, its insurance company. The bank’s sponsorship policy… Neuflize OBC is often quoted as a reference in cultural sponsorship in France, notably for visual arts and the cinema. Its field of intervention includes partnerships with prestigious institutions, both for exhibitions and for major artistic events. Its choices get organized around supports in the creation as in the development of the cultural heritage. Choices reflecting the values of a leading bank… The actions carried out by Neuflize OBC are at one and the same time proof of a rigorous, long-term commitment to quality projects and an open-minded and innovative encouragement of promising creative initiatives geared to the future. The priorities enshrined in the bank’s sponsorship policy also illustrate the recent combination of two key identities dating back several hundred years and focusing on private management services, with a special focus on families with roots in the French industrial sector and often with a reputation as art lovers, or on professionals from the world of cinema and communication drawn from all parts of the country. A coherent sponsorship policy… Neuflize OBC also shares its engagements with its insurance company, Neuflize Vie, which has opted to focus on contemporary, photographic and videographic images through partnerships of various kinds, like its durable contribution to Jeu de Paume and MEP museums. Some examples of actions in 2008: Nuit des Musées / Direction of French Museums/may 2008, Monumenta Richard Serra/ Ministry of Culture and communication /may 2008; Cinéfondation / Cannes Film Festival 2008, ParisCinéma / july 2008; Prix du Dessin Contemporain Fondation Daniel et Florence Guerlain/ march 2009… Contact Neuflize OBC: Carole Tournay (Events and sponsorship Manager): 01 56 21 79 53 [email protected] 66 POMMERY committed to Art since 1836 Maison Pommery has been a major player in the world of Art since 1836 Pommery has always been involved in the patronage of the arts. Thanks to Louise Pommery who invented “Corporate Patronage” by donating “The Gleaners” by Millet to the Musée d’Orsay, with the bas-reliefs by the sculptor Navlet hewn from the very chalk in the majestic cellars of the Pommery Domaine in Reims or the commissioning of Emile Gallet to make one of the biggest casks in the world for the Universal Exhibition in 1904. Pommery is committed to contemporary creation and, more especially, to artists through the medium of the Expériences Pommery, monumental exhibitions of contemporary art, which attract more than 100,000 visitors every year to the chalk pits at the Pommery Domaine in Reims. Pommery is the partner of major museums like the Centre Georges Pompidou but also of major events in the world of art today like the Fiac exhibition. Pommery had already forged serious and deep ties with Fiac and we are happy to return to them, after a few years interruption, to ensure that Champagne, Creation, Artists and Happiness can continue their never-ending journey. The Expériences Pommery 2003, Expérience Pommery #0, Olivier Strebelle 2004, Expérience Pommery #1, Genesis Sculpture, organiser: Stéphanie Moisdon 2005, Expérience Pommery #2, L’Idiotie, organiser: Jean-Yves Jouannais 2006, Expérience Pommery #3, Supernova, organiser: Judicaël Lavrador 2007, Expérience Pommery #4, L’Emprise du lieu, organiser: Daniel Buren 2008, Expérience Pommery Pommery #5, L’art en Europe, organiser: Fabrice Bousteau The fifth major exhibition of contemporary art presented at the Pommery Domaine, “L’art en Europe” takes stock, in the enlarged EU, of the state of European creation, the trends, the thoughts, the actors. To be as close as possible to the reality of this diverse artistic scene, the Pommery Domaine and the BeauxArts magazine invited the main contemporary art journals in Europe to each select two of the best young artists in their country. About 50 artists and their works, representing the vitality of 27 national scenes, will feature in the exhibition, bearing witness to the effervescence and richness of creation made in Europe from 13 June to 31 December 2008.

Contact : Anne de Lagarde au 01 55 30 56 98 70 Zumtobel in the World of Light The Zumtobel Group, leading international supplier of integral, trend-setting lighting solutions for all professional building-lighting application areas is a partner of the FIAC at the 2008 edition. Lighting and Modern Art are linked indeed : art needs light to show itself and the light changes perceptions in reducing or highlighting illuminated objects. Zumtobel has its own sales organisations in 22 countries and commercial agencies in more than 50 other countries and is a global player in the lighting industry. Zumtobel’s mission statement is as follows: “We want to use light to create worlds of experience, make work easier and improve communications and safety while remaining fully aware of our responsibility to the environment.” Accordingly, Zumtobel offers a comprehensive raft of product lines which include high-quality luminaires, lighting management systems for an extremely wide range of application areas. Zumtobel’s strategy is influenced by its determination to rapidly turn the very latest technologies into market-ready systems, incorporate up-to-date scientific knowledge in well-engineered lighting concepts and factor in the emotional effects of light. For many years, Zumtobel’s engagement with light, architecture and art has not only been the company’s profession, but also an exciting challenge which it has embraced enthusiastically. In cooperation with artists such as James Turrell, Anish Kapoor, Keith Sonnier, Siegrun Appelt and Olafur Eliasson, Zumtobel is always tackling challenges which take it close to the frontiers of what is feasible. This creative design force enables the company to keep on creating worlds of experience – this applies to art and at the same time describes the aspirations and visions of the international lighting group. Lighting experiences are always a work of culture, a work of art. International project partnerships with architects, lighting designers and artists provide abundant impetus to fuel ongoing innovation. Joint development of project-related customised special solutions is one important aspect of the firm’s very close relationships with its customers. Zumtobel benefits in turn from the innovative energy of its partners and the way in which they deploy new technologies and design elements. The visions of partners can also result in a company discovering completely new dimensions of possible uses for its products, thereby gaining fresh added insight into its products. Yet another good reason to strive for challenging and exciting cooperation with as many network partners as possible. Zumtobel conducts research on the health-promoting effects of light and feeds its research results into product optimisations in order to provide people with the best possible lighting quality. The energy efficiency of lighting systems is also becoming ever more important. With its Humanergy Balance lighting philosophy, Zumtobel has developed a concept which considers both aspects of an integral lighting solution: lighting quality and energy efficiency. 71 Media exhibitors and partners Media exhibitors AD Art Absolument Art Actuel Art in America Artinfo.com Artforum International Art Chronika Art Press Art Price Art Review Beaux Arts Magazine Bidoun Canvas Connaissance des Arts Flash Art Journal des Arts/L’œil Le Figaro Palais de Tokyo Télérama Media partners Côté Paris Desillusionist Editions Faton Elle Décoration Esse ETC Exporama Financial times Flash Art Books France Culture Giornale dell’arte Hermitage Magazine IDBazaar.com International Herald Tribune Kunst Bulletin La Tribune Le Figaro Les Echos LTB Media Magazine Parkett Editions Particules Standard Stiletto Télérama The Art Newspaper Transfuges Zéro Deux 20/27 AD Art 21 Art Absolument Art Actuel Art Chronika Artclair Editions Art Forum Art in America Artnet.com Artnews Artnowonline.com Art of England Artprice Art Papers Art Passions Artports.com Art Press Art Review Artravel Arteinformado.com Artports.com Arts Magazine Beaux Arts Magazine Bidoun Canvas Cimaise Connaissance des Arts Media partners of the exhibition Expérience Pommery #5 “L’Art Contemporain en Europe” A Prior Balkon CAC Interviu Frame Highlights Kunst.ee L+Arte Lapiz Maska Metropolis M Nico Ojeblikket Visual Seminar Newsletter Paletten Studija Taide Umelec Vector Magazine Undo 72 USEFUL INFORMATION ACCESS Grand Palais Avenue Winston Churchill, 75008 Paris Metro: lines 1 and 13 Champs–Élysées Clemenceau Bus: lines 72 | 42 | 73 | 83 | 93 Parking : Rond Point Champs–Élysées Cour Carrée du Louvre Rue de Rivoli, 75001 Paris Metro : lines 1 and 7, Palais Royal – Musée du Louvre Bus: lines 21 | 67 | 69 | 72 | 74 | 81 | 85 Parking: Saint–Germain l’Auxerrois Shuttles Free continuous shuttle buses go between the Grand Palais, the Cour Carrée and the Jardins des Tuileries OPENING HOURS Open to the public From Thursday 23 to Sunday 26 October 2008 Cour Carrée du Louvre, from 1pm to 9pm Grand Palais, de 12am to 8pm Jardins des Tuileries Everyday from 7:30am to 7:30pm By invitation Avant premier Cour Carrée: 21 October from 4pm to 10pm Professional afternoon: 22 October from 4pm to 10pm Opening: 22 October from 5pm to 10pm 73 PRICES Order your pass from our on–line store www.fiac.com Admission Full price: 25 € – Half–price: 12,50 € (art shcool students, owners of “Louvre jeunes” and “Louvre professionnels” cards).
