Artists in residence
Each year, the Cité internationale des arts welcomes more than 1,000 artists from around the world, offering them a space for creation, research, and exchange in Paris, in the Marais and Montmartre districts. Open to all artistic disciplines—visual arts, music, literature, film, design and architecture, performing arts, and curating—it enables artists to develop their projects in an environment that fosters experimentation and meaningful connections.

Literature
Christopher Bollen is a writer and editor who lives in New York City. He is the author of four novels — Lightning People (2011), Orient (2015), The Destroyers (2017), and A Beautiful Crime (2020). His latest novel, a political thriller set partly in Cairo, is set to be published in 2022.
Christopher Bollen is a practitioner of the literary thriller — or rather where the genres of literature and suspense overlap. The Destroyers won the 2018 Fitzgerald Prize in France, and A Beautiful Crime was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. The work-in-progress novel involves the art world in Paris.
After graduating from Columbia University, he began a career as a magazine editor, eventually serving as Editor in Chief of Andy Warhol’s Interview Magazine. He is currently the editor at large of Interview as well as a contributing editor at Vanity Fair. His journalism has appeared in a variety of publications including The New York Times, T Magazine, GQ, Artforum, The Believer, New York Magazine, and Condé Nast Traveler.
