Fondation Galeries Lafayette - Lafayette Anticipations

The Fondation Galeries Lafayette – Lafayette Anticipations is a leading contemporary art foundation located in the heart of Paris, in the Marais district.

Opened in 2018, it is housed in a spectacular 19th-century industrial building redesigned by OMA / Rem Koolhaas, featuring a unique system of moving exhibition platforms.

The foundation is dedicated to supporting contemporary creation, with a strong focus on emerging and mid-career artists.

Its programme spans visual art, design, fashion, performance, and music, encouraging experimentation across disciplines.

Lafayette Anticipations is known for its production model, helping artists develop new works rather than simply exhibiting finished pieces.

Through exhibitions, performances, talks, and workshops, the foundation positions itself as a laboratory for ideas and artistic innovation.

Today, it plays a key role in Paris’s contemporary art ecosystem, bridging culture, industry, and avant-garde creativity.
