Révélations-International Biennial of Crafts and Creation
05 -11th Jun 2023
Held every two years, Révélations is the not-to-be-missed event that celebrates French and international creation. Conceived and created by Ateliers d'Art de France, a professional organisation representing the 281 French fine crafts, the biennial is the major economic event of the sector. For this 6th edition, Revelations has chosen an aerial work, created by the Japanese multidisciplinary artist Kuniko Maeda, whose studio is in London. This work embodies the international contemporary creation in the heart of the biennial.
