"For the third year, the Monnaie de Paris is opening its courtyards, galleries and salons to the 70 or so international galleries of Asia NOW. The artistic direction of this special edition has been entrusted to the Radicants curatorial cooperative, created by Nicolas Bourriaud, who here explores the idea of ​​ceremony, of profane or sacred ritual. The guest artists propose to demonstrate the strength of the union around ritual through performances, installations, videos or culinary invitations, and to underline the need for cooperation. In addition, a dense program of conversations completes the already busy agenda of the fair."

"Finally, let's finish with the work of a traveling artist presented by Yeo Workshop (Singapore), The seas are all shared , by Ng Joon Kiat. He explores through his watercolors the question of borders and nationalities, mixing in the boxes-books-travel easels that contain his paintings the different countries he has traveled to. He thus creates an image of a globalized world, whose identity details are not distinguished in his works."
