YCI PROGRAM 2016 VISITES YCI !
Program created by FIAC and Fondation d’entreprise Ricard
Created by the Fondation d’entreprise Ricard and the FIAC in 2006 with the aim of fostering critical knowledge of the French scene, the YCI programme brings together a group of promising figures from the emerging generation of art critics and exhibition curators during FIAC week in Paris.
Within the framework of this programme, the Fondation d’entreprise Ricard and FIAC launch a new cycle of free guided visits, the YCI VISITS! in partnership with the French Institute. The visits will be every day at 4pm, starting at the information desk of the Fondation d’entreprise Ricard, in the Grand Palais from Thursday October 20th to Sunday 23rd.
This year, the participants in the YCI programme were selected based on proposals from four exhibition curators whose professional profiles are well established both on the French arts scene and internationally. The patronage of these young foreign curators by established curators will be showcased as conversations, in the form of guided visits of the fair by these curator duos.
Guided by their personal points of view, these personalities from the art world will offer FIAC visitors new perspectives for exploring the galleries and the artworks presented.
