The Community

-

The Community is a collective-run, Paris-based not-for-profit institute for multidisci­plinary dialogue.

1. Normandy Hôtel / building

The Normandy Hôtel was built in 1877 in Paris. The first large-scale renovation project in its history has recently started. In October, as to embrace the project, the hotel hosted the inaugural edition of the Salon de Normandy by The Community. Across one week, various old and historic rooms hosted 16 internatio­nal exhibitors and 70+ artists. For the full-experience, The Community set-up a residency at the hotel for the month running up to the Salon, and we were honored to work in a mysterious room on the 1st floor facing the Louvre, whose previous occupant had been a local rabbi. thecommuni­ty.io/salondenor­mandy

2. Cotton Club / bar

A particular establishm­ent in Pigalle, whose owner Lynda has continued hosting our various gatherings and encounters until the late hours. The decoration and little details are reminders of its rich and unrivaled past; it was run by one of the first female gallerists in town, and at this address, she sold Picasso’s first works in Paris. Guaranteed serendipit­y for open minds.

3. Editions Gravats / LOW JACK

The Parisian musical mastermind Philippe Hallais, aka Low Jack, has been destabiliz­ing dance floors in Paris and across the globe with his always perfect and unexpected tunes, smoothly combining techno and experiment­al sounds with reggaeton and dancehall rhythms. Care for your body and mind. editions-gravats.bandcamp.com / lowjack.eu
