Rencontres Artistiques 2022
I thought it was remarkable to allow a dialogue between young artists and established experts.
"As a student at the Beaux-arts, I found in Carré sur Seine an ideal platform to professionalise my relationship with the art world. The meeting and exchange with different experts allowed me to confront my practice and my discourse with the eyes and ears of informed professionals. There is a lack of such opportunities today and I found it remarkable to allow a dialogue between young artists and established experts.
I was really honoured to be one of the three winners of this year's event and it gave me a lot of visibility and opportunities like my exhibition at the Institute of Islamic Cultures.

The format of this event makes it really accessible to meet galleries or institutions.
" Rencontres Artistiques of Carré sur Seine is a great opportunity for artists who are starting their professional career, like me, to get advice and views on their work from different experts in the professional field. But it is also unavailable for artists who are already in a professional continuity, who are doing various projects and who aim to meet a specific expert with an already formed project.
In my case, it was very important to make these meetings last year in order to take a step forward towards creating my professional network. Not having studied in France, I had difficulty finding my place in the French professional art world. The format of this event makes it really accessible to meet galleries or institutions.
In my case, the Meetings have given my work more visibility, contributing to the expansion of my professional network. I would love to participate this year!

A well-run "two-in-one" project!
"This event gave me the opportunity to meet experts that I would not have known otherwise. I was able to explain my approach and have a dialogue with them. Now they follow my work closely and we communicate regularly.
In addition, these Meetings are accompanied by a prize for three winners, a well-run "two-in-one" project!

The portfolio reading followed by an exchange between the artist and the expert is a new format!
"The possibility of meeting the experts by videoconference allows the Meetings to be opened up widely.
The portfolio reading followed by an exchange between the artist and the expert is a new format!
I don't go I don't spontaneously go and meet the experts, so these Rencontres Artistiques were a real opportunity for me!
They gave me the desire to continue to expand my network of contacts. “

Rencontres Artistiques 2020
An accelerating event!
"These Rencontres Artistiques were an accelerating moment thanks to the exchanges with the experts that I would not otherwise have met. They were surprised and interested in my work and the discussion led to a real exchange.
The videoconference meetings allowed me to show my work in good conditions, by getting to the point and the experts were just as attentive as in person. “

Gallery exit art contemporain
Since 2006, Maria Giovanna Gilotta and Florence Provost want to provoke the meeting between contemporary creation and an audience of new collectors as well as savvy collectors.
Each work is there to talk about it.
Between perceptual and conceptual, games and gravity, the different languages all combine with the present and the reflection on our generation is the common thread.
The strength of the selection of Exit contemporary art is to assume a choice that knows how to be provocative, funny or unexpected, capable nevertheless of entering our daily life.
The Exit contemporary art gallery, originally nomadic, has now established itself in Boulogne-Billancourt, a city with great cultural potential, and wishes to develop the presence of contemporary art.
