Edition 20

The 2024 edition of C14 PARIS is now over. The atmosphere during the four days spent together, exhibitors, visitors and organizing team, was once again warm and friendly.

These four hectic days offered exhibitors the opportunity to meet their public and establish professional contacts with galleries, institutions and independent curators.

This year's event was marked by an international opening. 9 out of 32 exhibitors came from Eastern Europe, China, Latin America and Scandinavia. Attendance was up sharply despite the cultural competition in Paris at this time of year. The Salon now enjoys a high profile on social networks, and its "sculptural" and "qualitative" specificity is more firmly anchored in the contemporary landscape.

The publication of the catalog, as well as the signage for the show, was once again entrusted to Formes associées. Our professional partners and exhibitors have praised the creativity of our proposal, and encourage us to continue in this direction.

In terms of prizes, the Jury's Prize now boasts an endowment of €3,000 from the Andrée and Michel Hirlet Endowment Fund, and the Inter-School Prize, created in 2024, has perfectly fulfilled its objectives as a springboard for professional development. 

Efforts to welcome visitors have been stepped up. A participatory musical performance hosted by Olivier Chouteau has taken its place on the first floor. A cosy café was also set up to offer visitors a break, a time for intimate exchanges with exhibitors. The hosts and hostesses of the partner stands, particularly those of Keramis, provided warmth and professionalism.

A thematic round-table discussion on the marketing of contemporary ceramics brought together three Parisian gallerists for a fascinating debate: Maria Lund of Galerie Maria Lund, Paris, Christophe de Fabry of Arsenic Galerie, Paris and Bernard Jordan, of Galerie Bernard Jordan, Paris, also a partner of C14 Paris this year. 

Once again, we would like to thank our 2024 partners for their warm and unfailing support: the City of Paris, the Mairie du 14^ème arr. de Paris, Galerie Bernard Jordan in Paris and La Fondation Bruckner, Carouge (CH) and Centre Keramis, La Louvière (B).
