| 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. | ||

| For Artistic Director Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, dOCUMENTA (13) is a field in a state of definition suggested by the phrase, “The dance was very frenetic, lively, rattling, clanging, rolling, contorted and lasted for a long time." As a preview to dOCUMENTA (13), and as a part of it, various activities have already been realized. These include a conference in Turin in September 2009; the AND AND AND projects, which have been ongoing since June 2010; the installation on the summer solstice of 2010 of the sculpture "Idee di Pietra" by Giuseppe Penone in Karlsaue Park; and the screening on Valentine’s Day of Pierre Huyghe’s film "The Host and the Cloud" at Kassel’s Gloria cinema. Additionally, two artists’ books have been published by Hatje Cantz: Guillermo Faivovich and "The Campo del Cielo Meteorites – Vol. 1: El Taco", and "seeing studies", edited by Natascha Sadr Haghighian and Ashkan Sepahvand for the institute for incongruous translation. And finally, the first publications within the "100 Notes – 100 Thoughts" series of notebooks have appeared and will be followed by many more. Opening: June 9, 2012 | ||
