la maison rouge, foundation antoine de galbert
Created on the initiative of Antoine de Galbert, a private art collector and active figure on the French art scene, la maison rouge is a registered foundation.
Its vocation is to promote the different facets of contemporary creation through temporary exhibitions. Over a thousand square metres of exhibition space are given over to artists and their work. La maison rouge gives independent curators full authority to explore the diversity of contemporary artistic experimentation and expression, often by way of major international private collections.
Through each of the experiences of art that it incites and initiates, the foundation aims to encourage multiple attitudes, practices and approaches to contemporary creation.

the patio
Juxtaposing the house and visible from the café terrace, the patio gives for young artists the possibility to present their work. Surrounded by glass walls but open to the sky, it questions how we relate to space, interior and exterior, and how we perceive time.

Always attentive and open to creations by young artists, Antoine de Galbert created this free-access space in 2006, showing new exhibitions every four to six weeks.
editions
for each of the collections it shows, la maison rouge publishes a series of books, entitled privées, in co-production with the publisher, Fage editions
activities

the restaurant - Rose bakery culture
Parisian foodies already know Rose and Jean-Charles Carrarini’s two Rose Bakery restaurants on Rue des Martyrs and Rue Debelleyme.
Now Rose Bakery and la maison rouge are embarking on a specific project, led by interior designer-scenographer Emilie Bonaventure. Three times a year, visitors to la maison rouge will discover a "pop-up" café, designed by be-attitude. A first for a cultural venue.
Each season, the prototypes, special creations, limited editions, flea-market finds and other salvaged objects will make up an eye-catching decor which may or may not echo the foundation’s exhibitions.
