20 projects - 9 countries
Located on the balcony of the Grand Palais, Emergence presents twenty solo projects. Conceived as a space for discovery, it bears witness to the vitality of emerging scenes worldwide, from South Sudan, with Atong Atem (MARS, Melbourne), to Venezuela, with Suwon Lee (Sorondo Projects, Barcelona), from Brazil, with Rodrigo Braga (SALON H, Paris), to Mexico, with Camila Falquez (Hannah Traore, New York), or South Korea, with Sibusiso Bheka (AFRONOVA, Johannesburg). It also asserts the position of the French scene with, among others, Marine Lanier (Espace Jörg Brockmann, Geneva), Bérangère Fromont (Bacqueville, Paris), and Sylvie Bonnot (HANGAR, Brussels).
