For this new edition, the fair will welcome over 58 galleries of which 53% are based in Paris, 26% are international (from Belgium, China, Croatia, Spain, Italy, the UK and the USA) and 21% are French galleries beyond Paris. Since its inception, Slick has affirmed its position as a destination for discovering galleries and artists. Only 22 of the Slick 08 galleries have already been presented in previous editions of the fair. Slick gets to the heart of the matter and will continue to surprise you through the list of galleries presented below (additional names might be added throughout the course of the summer), and at the fair or will favor most recent works for their exhibitions. This year, Slick settles into the CENTQUATRE. Built in 19th century industrial architecture style, this vast building of more than 39 000 m2 will become the largest Parisian space for artistic production and creation, housing artist residencies, theatre spaces and lounge areas. By working with a network of art centers throughout the world, its dynamic operational approach is unique in France. We look forward to welcoming you at CENTQUATRE. Slick extends over 2 500 m2 at the garden entrance level and will be organized around three primary spaces that welcome the galleries and two gardens: one, a VIP area, and the second, conceived as the fair鈥檚 center of gravity and its green lungs. A multimedia space will be located on the main level, along with a temporary restaurant in the nave of CENTQUATRE, at the entrance to the fair. To give you an idea of what this new edition of Slick is all about, we have provided a few highlights below. No doubt, these 鈥渢rends鈥 will fail to capture the essence of the fair but should serve to provide a glimpse at its general outline.
