FIAC 2010 | Modem Mag | modemonline.com

The 37th edition of FIAC takes place from 21st to 24th October 2010 at the Grand Palais, the Cour Carrée du Louvre and the Jardin des Tuileries.

FIAC occupies a position as one of the not-to-be-missed international events relating to artistic creativity.

Devised in a spirit of continuity, FIAC confirms the founding principles of its identity: its
generalist vocation that leads it to offer a balanced panorama of modern art, contemporary art and up-and-coming creativity; its openness to the diversity of artistic practices, as evidenced by the outdoor projects in the Jardin des Tuileries, its programme of performances, or indeed the initial showing this year of a cycle of artists’ films.

FIAC 2010 brings together 195 galleries of modern and contemporary art, coming from 24 countries. France accounts for 73 galleries, i.e. 38%, Germany comes next with 22 galleries, then the United States with 22 galleries, Italy with 14, Belgium and Switzerland with 11. Countries represented for the first time are Japan, Mexico, Korea and Ireland. 63 galleries are exhibiting for the first time or have returned to FIAC in 2010.
