“Conversations”
Ancient Tribal Arts x Collectible Art & Design
Galerie Flak x Galerie BSL
The exhibition continues at Galerie BSL | 14, rue des Beaux-Arts, 75006 Paris
A MEANINGFUL DIALOGUE
This exhibition was conceived for Paris Tribal, the unmissable event for the international ancient art scene from Africa, Oceania, and the Americas. For this occasion, Galerie Flak has partnered with Galerie BSL, a hallmark of collectible design, for an exclusive collaboration.
Together, they present “CONVERSATIONS”, a landmark exhibition that dissolves the boundaries between eras and disciplines.
A Soulful Connection: How does a Songye mask from the Congo or a Kachina doll from Arizona fit into a 21st-century home? This exhibition demonstrates how ancestral art brings an organic vibration and spiritual depth to the sleek lines of contemporary design.
The 21st-Century Collector: This exhibition is curated for the forward-thinking collector, free from traditional categories. Rather than segmenting their passions, they view their interior as a cohesive whole, where formal excellence creates a bridge across centuries.
A Curated Vision: Each piece has been selected for its ability to engage in dialogue. Between the radical geometry of an Oceanic mask and the structural form of a coffee table by Badara Ndiaye, a shared language emerges: that of universal modernity.
“With this exhibition, we want to show that art knows no borders. Placing a centuries-old statue alongside a piece of contemporary design creates a temporal bridge that elevates the modern living space.” — Julien Flak
Exhibition running until June 30, at Galerie BSL – 14 rue des Beaux-Arts, Paris

July 1st - August 30th
We are back in Aix-en-Provence this summer!
From July 1st to August 30th, 2026, Galerie Flak takes up its summer quarters. For this 3rd summer edition, it is an absolute pleasure to open the doors of my bastide, nestled across from the Sainte-Victoire Mountain.
Far from the art fairs, I imagined this temporary rendezvous as a radically intimate and relaxed art experience. I invite you to a true timeless interlude: a moment of simple sharing, where antique artworks from Africa, Oceania, and the Americas are illuminated by Cézanne’s light.
This gathering is a fleeting parenthesis. We are settling under the Provençal sun for a beautiful summer season, before returning to Paris for the rest of the year. Visits are exclusively by appointment, allowing us to take the time to chat, enjoy a drink, and contemplate the works together, at our own pace.
When: July 1st to August 30th, 2026
Where: Chemin de Bibémus, 13100 Aix-en-Provence

Parcours des Mondes 2025
On the occasion of the 2025 edition of Parcours des Mondes, Galerie Flak is pleased to return to its historic address at 8 rue des Beaux-Arts, in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. For this event, the gallery is honored to present an exclusive collaboration with Crosby Studios and its founder Harry Nuriev — a leading figure on today’s design scene.
Celebrated for his radical installations and event-based interventions — from his recent participation at the Louvre during the Louvre Couture exhibition to a collection created for Westwing — Harry Nuriev now brings his resolutely modern visual language into dialogue with our selection of ancient works from Africa, Oceania, and North America presented for the Parcours.
With his singular vision, he has reimagined our gallery space through a contemporary lens: minimalist, sculptural, and innovative. This encounter between ancestral forms and radical modernity invites visitors to rediscover timeless works in a new light, where art and design converge in an unprecedented dialogue.
Vis-à-vis unfolds as a play of reflections, correspondences, and both aesthetic and symbolic tensions. Contemporary design, in all its bold directness, engages here in conversation with the forms and forces of tribal art. Through this singular mise en scène, the exhibition seeks to stand both as a witness to — and an extension of — this fertile confrontation.
