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.
