Why did you choose to take part in this 7th edition of District 13?
District 13 is, in my eyes, the most beautiful Parisian fair: the one with the most dense and diversified attendance, and also the one where people have the most fun — and that matters. It has established itself as the major Parisian rendezvous for contemporary Urban Art just after the holidays, a privileged moment in the calendar.
Everything aligns: the venue, the selection, the organization, and the public — criteria to which I pay particular attention. The results confirm this choice. At each edition, OneMizer’s solo show has been a success. Last year, we sold out completely: by Saturday, there was nothing left to sell, which surprised us as much as it delighted us. As long as the fair continues to combine success and pleasure, we will keep coming back
What will you be presenting this year?
This year, I opted for two booths, for a total of 60 m², in order to fully deploy the artists’ work.
The first space will be dedicated to a new solo show by OneMizer, featuring an entirely new series that should once again amaze the public. At every edition, OneMizer demonstrates the intelligence and talent to conceive a proposal radically different from the previous one, consistently enchanting visitors. At the entrance of the fair, his monumental sculpture Steady will also provide us with remarkable visibility.
In the second space, I will present four artists, three of them for the first time in Paris:
-
DourOne, master of a neo-surrealism that opens a window onto dreams;
-
Spok Brillor, with his convex mirrors — spectacular works where perspectives twist and balances falter;
-
Louis Lambert, whose almost tribal universe unfolds through ceramic sculptures and canvases worked with a silicone gun;
-
Back, finally, a young artist already much in demand — with a duo show at Contemporary Art Now in Madrid and an exhibition at Yusto/Giner — who impresses with figures immersed in a state of introspection.
