For one week, a constellation of eight galleries in the Marais will be presenting ‘their’ Swedish artists. The event presents a variety of forms, experiences and generations and an eclectic panorama of artistic practices embodying a dynamic Swedish art scene that is increasingly making its presence felt in Paris. The Institut Suédois, which initiated the project, will be the starting point (or end point) of the ‘art trail’, and will be presenting a group exhibition of artworks by each featured artist.
