Rue Louise Weiss : East Side Story
Every month, it’s party time around the Rue Louise Weiss, where the many contemporary art galleries bring together Parisian trendsetters for wildly popular preview shows. Formerly limited to the Rue Louise Weisse itself, the event has taken over Rue Duchefdelaville and Rue du Chevaleret, both home to new showrooms and part of an exciting art neighborhood with the seven original galleries, now grouped under the name Louise, as its core.
Over the years, the Rue Louise Weiss has established itself as a not-to-be-missed component of the Parisian art scene. The seven initial galleries, located behind the Grande Bibliothèque, have succeeded in attracting Parisians and foreigners, all eager to discover this diverse slice of avant-garde creation. And lo and behold, seven very soon became eleven…
But above all, these special evenings provide an occasion to check out what’s new and up-and-coming. You’ll hear people say, in French or in English, “I’ve already made the rounds. Meet me at the café when you’re done and tell me what you liked.” Or, “I love coming here because I always know I’ll see something I love.” And it’s true: here you’ll find a microcosm of the contemporary art world in all its manifestations, including photography, video, paintings, installations, and design.
