Laurent Godin opened this Paris gallery in 2005, not far from the Centre Pompidou, after having run a public art space in Lyon. Laurent Godin is committed to frequently organizing solo shows by artists who pay particular attention to politics, sociology and culture in their artistic practices, not limited to a specific medium or artistic background.

In collaboration with the French editor Onestar Press, the gallery also develops edgy artist books, connected to the exhibitions which are on display.
