In the spring of 2012, the 3rd edition of the contemporary art triennial exhibition will move from the nave of the Grand Palais into the open galleries of the Palais de Tokyo and other neighbouring institutions along la Colline des Musées. Through the concept of “Intense Proximity”, 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.

The French Ministry of Culture and Communication has invited Okwui Enwezor to serve as Artistic Director of La Triennale. The first major event marking the reopening of the Palais de Tokyo in 2012, La Triennale will offer a large panorama of contemporary art at the intersection of the French art scene and global sites of production. Beginning within the interiors of the expanded and refurbished Palais de Tokyo, La Triennale is set in a series of overlapping cartographies that shift from small-scale collaborations with emerging research, production, exhibition, and performance spaces in Paris and the surrounding suburb, to explorations of the critical valences between the near and far, between the edges of France and countries adjacent to and bordering them.

iming to explore potential areas of dialogue between various artistic disciplines and cultural scenes, Artistic Director 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 vocation du Salon de Montrouge
est la découverte de nouveaux talents et leur accom pagnement dans les premiers pas de leur car­rière. C’est aussi et sur tout, favo­riser la rencontre du public avec des pratiques singulières représen­tant la scène française dans toute la richesse de sa diver sité, tous médiums confondus (peinture, sculpture, installation, perfor­mance, vidéo, photographie, etc.)

Le Salon de Montrouge fait aujourd’hui référence pour la découverte de nouveaux talents et de nom breux professionnels le visitent ainsi qu’un très nom breux public (fréquentation annuelle d’environ 12 000 visiteurs).
