Lola Grunwald is a curator and artistic director based between Paris and southeastern France. After contributing to the development of projects at the Grand Palais, and subsequently with We Love Art and Nuit Blanche, she spent five years as director of the Galerie du Crous, working in close collaboration with the Beaux-Arts de Paris. There, she supported numerous artists in the conception, production, and exhibition design of their first shows. Throughout her career, she has collaborated with established artists including Ann Veronica Janssens, Tomás Saraceno, Olafur Eliasson, and Barthélémy Toguo, while also working closely with emerging contemporary artists such as Pauline d’Andigné, Max Coulon, Corentin Darré, and Nefeli Papadimouli. Her curatorial practice embraces cross-discipli- nary approaches and projects that challenge established systems of representation and visibi- lity. She is particularly attentive to the relationships between artworks, territories, and audiences, as well as to places where contemporary art remains underrepresented. In 2025, she founded Versus Manifesto, a contem- porary art festival conceived as a mobile, evolving project. Born from a reflection on highly sought-after territories shaped by tourism and market forces, the festival explores the space available for emerging, critical, and experimental contemporary art within these environments. A member of C-E-A Commissaires, she holds degrees in Art History from Sorbonne University and in Curatorial Studies from University of the Arts London.
