The Parisian
 

Running The Country.

Welcome to The Parisian, your source for what's on this week, and this weekend, in Paris. Looking for clubs, gigs, art shows, exhibitions, film, dance and theatre in Paris? We sort through hundreds of events every week and bring you the cream of the crop.

Sarkozy, ready to run from the G20 summit, was perhaps inspired by the Paris Marathon on Sunday. We have our own marathon of cultural events to get through this week with plenty of thought-provoking art work from the likes of Aaron Young, Harun Farocki and Rodney Graham, experimental sounds from Cocorosie, Disque Primeur, Anne-James Chaton and Andy Moor along with many other events that may float your boat.

Speaking of boats, Matthew Dear is playing at Batofar on Friday. Have a good week!

Many thanks to this week's sponsor, bombshop.
