offscreen paris julien frydman salon 2025

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, held concurrently with Art Basel Paris. This year, the event takes over La Chapelle Saint-Louis de la Salpêtrière, a historic church on the grounds of a former hospital that once detained and studied women labeled as “degenerate” or “insane.” The venue previously hosted exhibitions by Anselm Kiefer, Nan Goldin, and Christian Boltanski. Offscreen features 28 artists from 27 galleries, including a guest of honor tribute to late video-sculpture pioneer Shigeko Kubota, a durational performance by Maria Stamenković Herranz, and new talks and museum acquisitions from the Centre Pompidou and ZKM.

Doyen retrouve la chapelle Saint-Louis

A cycle of eleven paintings commissioned in 1772 for the Chapelle Saint-Louis at the École Militaire in Paris, depicting the life of Saint Louis, has been rediscovered. The chapel was built under Louis XV by architect Ange-Jacques Gabriel, and the paintings were executed by Jean-Baptiste-Marie Pierre following a carefully devised iconographic program. The discovery sheds new light on a major decorative ensemble from the Ancien Régime.
