Third edition of the contemporary art triennial exhibition which takes place in the open new galleries of the Palais de Tokyo and various venues in Paris from April 20 till August 26 2012.

Curated by Okwui Enwezor, La Triennale will investigate what it means to be active as an artist working today, in the context of a globalized and diverse French art scene. Its title, “Intense Proximity”, points to those frictions, those heterogeneous tensions which set every human activity into motion. It also questions how an individual’s origins, intellectual education or life path have an impact on his/her situation in the larger context of a society in which the fault lines are increasingly uncharted. It also asks how La Triennale can be constituted within the debates that currently animate French society.

Aiming to explore potential areas of dialogue between various artistic disciplines and cultural scenes, Okwui Enwezor will work in close collaboration with a team of four associate curators, all passionately involved in the contemporary art scene on which they have their own personal take: Mélanie Bouteloup, Abdellah Karroum, Émilie Renard and Claire Staebler.

La Triennale will take place in collaboration with Bétonsalon, Crédac - Centre d'art contemporain d'Ivry, Galliera, Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris, Grand Palais, les Instants Chavirés, the Laboratoires d'Aubervilliers and the Musée du Louvre for a series of events. The schedule is available here.
