Created on the initiative of Antoine de Galbert, a private art collector and active figure on the French art scene, la maison rouge is a registered foundation.

Its vocation is to promote the different facets of contemporary creation through temporary exhibitions. Over 1300 square metres of exhibition space are given over to artists and their work. La maison rouge gives independent curators full authority to explore the diversity of contemporary artistic experimentation and expression, often by way of major international private collections.

Through each of the experiences of art that it incites and initiates, the foundation aims to encourage multiple attitudes, practices and approaches to contemporary creation.

Exhibitions

La maison rouge programmes three to six exhibitions a year in regular cycles from February to May, June to September and October to January.
Solo shows alternate with thematic shows alongside regular exhibitions of major international collections.
Juxtaposing the house and visible from the café terrace, the patio gives for young artists the possibility to present their work. Surrounded by glass walls but open to the sky, it questions how we relate to space, interior and exterior, and how we perceive time.

The vestibule

Always attentive and open to creations by young artists, Antoine de Galbert created this free-access space in 2006, showing new exhibitions every four to six weeks.

Editions

for each of the collections it shows, la maison rouge publishes a series of books, entitled privées, in co-production with the publisher, Fage editions

Activities

Coinciding with each exhibition cycle, la maison rouge organises talks, symposiums, meetings with artists or curators, concerts and films to give a deeper or different understanding of the works. Children have a story-telling afternoon one Wednesday a month and there are guided visits for individuals every weekend at 4pm.
