PRESENTATION
Carré Sur Seine
Committed to supporting and professionalizing contemporary artists.
Founded in 2011 by Maria Giovanna Gilotta, Isabelle Lefort and Florence Provost, Carré sur Seine is a structure dedicated to supporting contemporary artists and developing their careers.
Every year, the Rencontres Artistiques brings together over 400 artists and around a hundred professionals: curators, critics, collectors, heads of institutions and others. They provide a framework for direct dialogue between artists and professionals, a space for confronting views, nurturing practices and bringing out new opportunities.
In keeping with this commitment, the Carré sur Seine Awards - conceived as a constellation of distinctions - spotlight singular, incisive artistic approaches, always driven by a need of their own. Previous winners include Raphaëlle Bertran, Clédia Fourniau, Lyes Hammadouche, Emeric Lhuisset, Juliette Minchin and Rayan Yasmineh.
Anchored in the social, aesthetic and sensitive issues of its time, Carré sur Seine defends an idea of art as a lever for understanding and transformation, and weaves, through its projects, an ongoing dialogue between artists, professionals and audiences. A living, porous space under permanent construction.
