RX&SLAG

RX&SLAG | SLAG&RX is a dual-named gallery founded by Irina Protopopescu, Eric Dereumaux, and Eric Rodrigue, based in Paris and New York.

This unification creates a program of expanded scope and capacity, offering to the gallery's artists exceptional exhibition spaces and greater international audience reach. The gallery actively cultivâtes and empowers artists, helping them navigate every stage of their careers. This fosters meaningful discourse between generations of artists, from established figures to international mid-career talents and emerging creatives. Notably, the gallery boasts a team with exceptional curatorial expertise, facilitating exhibitions for its artists in prestigious museums and international events. The caliber of its artists is evidenced by their participation in renowned international exhibitions like the Venice Biennale, and the Documenta.

Additionally, the gallery global influence is reflected in partnerships with art fairs across cities such as Paris, New York, Basel, Miami, Berlin, Brussels, Abu Dhabi, Cologne, and Seoul. Paris, New York, Bâle, Miami, Berlin, Bruxelles, Abou Dhabi, Cologne et Séoul.

Founded by Éric Rodrigue and Éric Dereumaux, Gallery RX moved to the Golden Triangle in 2002. In 2011, they inaugurated a monumental 1500 m² site at the gates of Ivry sur Seine, the former laboratory of the Joliot Curie couple. This new space, built for experimentation, is designed to experience contemporary art. It is a multi-faceted hybrid space, ranging from residences to storage but also turns into an exhibition gallery, enabling artist to create in situ works and to present monumental pieces.

In October 2016, the project was to settle in the Marais, born out of the desire to be closer to fellow gallerists in a district where the heart and flow of contemporary art is undeniably anchored. It finally came to fruition with the inauguration of the new 640m2 space. This private mansion, formerly known as the Hôtel Gegault de Crisenoy, is located between the Musée Picasso and the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature.

The RX Gallery presents the works of emerging and established artists from the French and international scenes. The layout of this new space offers the gallery’s artists new exhibition perspectives, and favors collaborations with curators and international artists.

The gallery also develops parallel projects with public institutions, private institutions and proposes itinerant exhibitions. Very much involved in art fairs, the gallery participates in Paris Photo, Art Paris, Art Brussels and FAB Paris, for which it is a member of their selection committee.

In 2021, the gallery opened in the United States in association with Slag Gallery, which has been present in New York for 15 years. The new entity, RX&SLAG, gives impetus to a dynamic where the expertise of each of the two galleries on the French and American scenes, help to reveal a young artistic scene whilst developing the representation of transatlantic historical artists.
