Carte Blanche granted to Mona Filleul
Air de Paris is delighted to present the first solo exhibition in France of French-Swiss artist Mona Filleul.
A form of intimacy emerges from Mona Filleul’s works, which are adorned with biographical elements and draw from various sources of inspiration, from Instagram stories to Soundcloud profile covers. For her exhibition at Air de Paris, the artist presents a new body of work within a specific scenography that responds to the gallery space. For the opening and during Paris Gallery Weekend, Filleul invites five transfem artists from the local scene to intervene directly in the exhibition, thereby pushing back the boundaries of the solo exhibition in order to turn it into a collective space. Air de Tranny is a composite project that is solo, collective, and curatorial at the same time. Structured around a rigorous scenography using exposed metal stud structures, the exhibition invites several Tr@N$Fem artists to intervene directly within the space.

The gallery
The name "Air de Paris" is a tribute to Marcel Duchamp's readymade.
Air de Paris established 1990 in Nice by Florence Bonnefous and Edouard Merino, who both attended the Ecole
du Magasin in Grenoble. In 1994, Air de Paris relocated to Paris, then moved to a large industrial space in Romainville in Greater Paris in 2019.
For some 30 years now Air de Paris has cultivated a fondness for the peripheral. The move to Romainville shows us pursuing this notion in a restating of Liam Gillick's maxim "Just More/More Just ».
