巴黎最前瞻的藝術經紀二人組合mor charpentier

'We want to promote art that is part of the zeitgeist' – Philippe Charpentier, co-founder of mor charpentier

Parisian gallerists Alex Mor and Philippe Charpentier have a clear vision. From the start, their program has championed art tackling political and social issues, a focus that they call the DNA of the gallery. Located in Paris’s Marais district since 2010, mor charpentier has always maintained an international outlook, opening its Bogotà office in 2013. The gallery artists, including Teresa Margolles, Julieta Aranda, and Lara Almarcegui – who is participating in this year’s Art Basel Messeplatz project, Basilea – have received widespread critical acclaim, while never shying away from challenging their audience.

At Art Basel, mor charpentier will be exhibiting a video installation by Lawrence Abu Hamdan in the Statements sector. The British-Lebanese artist mostly works with the politics of sound. For this project, he has focused on the Golan Heights, and the way families communicate across the Syrian-Israeli border.
