du Temps
Par un processus répétitif d'ottchil — appliquer, sécher, poncer — le temps s'inscrit comme un poids physique sur la toile.

The Weight of Time
Appliquer. Sécher. Poncer.
Appliquer encore. Sécher encore.

Des centaines de couches. Jusqu'à ce que le temps lui-même devienne matière sur la toile.

Perception Beyond Genre
The Brand
& Vision
PBG MARAIS is a Korean contemporary art gallery that opened in Paris in 2026. The Paris branch of Seoul-based PBG, the gallery serves as a platform for connecting the contemporary practices of Korean artists with the European art world.

Located at 5 rue du Grenier-Saint-Lazare in Le Marais, the space has been one of the defining addresses in Parisian art history since Yvon Lambert opened here in 1977. PBG MARAIS opens a new chapter within that layered history.

The gallery focuses on artists who have built a distinctive practice through the sustained investigation of new materials and forms. PBG supports these artists through long-term relationships, placing their work in dialogue with international curators, institutions, and collectors on equal terms.

Perception Beyond Genre
Philosophy
When we decided to open a gallery, the first question wasn't which artists to show. It was which artists we wanted to be near.

The artists we look for are those still working something out with materials — people using matter in ways art history hasn't yet named. We know that kind of practice takes years, survives failure, and often can't explain itself yet. So we don't rush it.

Good work doesn't argue. It's simply there. You feel something, or you don't. PBG makes space for that encounter — not for judgment, but for meeting.

Coming to Paris wasn't strategic. We'd long been uncomfortable with the way Korean art tends to arrive in the world: introduced, explained, contextualised, until the actual texture of the work disappears in the translation. This space is that attempt.

Discovery sounds grand. But in practice it's simpler: going to studios, looking for a long time, remembering what doesn't leave you.
01.
Discovery
Not a completed career, but embedded inevitability. To identify the unnamed potential within a developing practice — this is PBG's first act.
02.
Presence
The precise point where an artist's thought meets matter. PBG positions itself at the moment material becomes the site of thought, not its vehicle.
03.
The World
Encounter without translation. To place Korean contemporary art in contact with global discourse on equal terms — this is PBG's mission.
« Ce sont les expositions qui font un lieu. »
— Yvon Lambert
5 rue du Grenier-Saint-Lazare is a living archive of Parisian art history. Starting with Yvon Lambert in 1977, this site has been a home to legendary galleries for half a century. In 2005, a wallpaper frieze by Daniel Buren was rediscovered during renovation. PBG MARAIS adds a new layer of Korean sensibility onto this historic site.
