Lafayette Anticipations

Paris

Housed in a building dating back to 1891, Lafayette Anticipations, founded in 2018, is a unique space for multidisciplinary artistic creation, designed by architect Rem Koolhaas. Featuring a mobile exhibition tower, a production workshop, and an open passageway, this venue fosters artistic innovation for all. It serves as a space for dialogue, encounters, and public debate on social issues that artists inevitably explore. Winner of the Prix spécial du Jury de l’Équerre d’Argent in 2018, the Fondation d’Entreprise Galeries Lafayette is the first multidisciplinary artistic production space of its kind in France.
