offscreen paris julien frydman salon 2025 1234758079

Offscreen, the nomadic Parisian art salon founded by former Paris Photo director Julien Frydman, returns for its fourth edition from October 21 to 26, 2025, running concurrently with Art Basel Paris. This year the event takes over La Chapelle Saint-Louis de la Salpêtrière, a stark church on the grounds of a historic hospital that once detained and studied women labeled “degenerate” or “insane.” The salon features 28 artists from 27 galleries, including a durational performance by Maria Stamenković Herranz, works by video pioneer David Haxton, and a guest-of-honor tribute to late video-sculpture artist Shigeko Kubota. Frydman insists Offscreen is not a “video art fair” but a medium-blurring salon designed to prioritize visitor experience over categorical labels.
