Florence Derieux, Curator of "Parcours" at Art Basel (13-16 June 2013).
Florence Derieux is Director of the FRAC Champagne-Ardenne in Reims, France. She is now working also for the fair Art Basel as curator of the 4th edition of Parcours (13-16 June 2013). Parcours is an art project taking place outside the fair, within the city of Basel. Galleries are applying with projects made by their artists. The proposed projects can be produced in difference locations within the city. Each year a new area of the city is chosen. This year the selected area is Klingental, a district very near the fair. The idea behind Parcours is to link the fair with the city of Basel, and create an event that could help involving the population to discover different areas of the city and the art world. Parcours is not only addressed to the visitors of the art fair. "My role - Derieux says - is to select the projects that galleries are proposing. And I am selecting them in relation to the locations that are available."
