Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

Established in Paris since 2010, mor charpentier represents both emerging and well-established artists whose conceptual practices are anchored in social realities, history and the politics of contrasting geographic regions. By promoting international practices, the gallery aims to broaden the knowledge of crucial debates of the present.

It consolidated a long-term bond with the Latin American art scene and the international projection of the gallery. ...
