\nA few minutes from Saint-Paul station, at 17 rue Fran\u00e7ois Miron in Paris’s 4th arrondissement, a large carriage gate opens onto a courtyard. Beyond it, a gallery.
\nRare Gallery Paris 4.
\nThe sign is modest. But inside, three spaces across two floors hold paintings, photographs, sculptures \u2014 and sometimes music. Quietly, or with energy, they surround whoever enters.
\nThe person who built this space, and keeps it running, is Wilson Claude Balda.
\n\"\"
\n\"\"
\nHe calls himself a “cultural activist.”
\nBorn in Brittany, with Ethiopian and Beninese roots, he studied in Brest and New York before turning toward something neither academic nor corporate: the living culture of Paris. He has produced and hosted television programmes on France O, France 4 and Bastille TV. He publishes a bi-monthly magazine distributed nationally. He photographs, composes, discovers musicians, and puts them on stage. At the gallery, he hangs the work of artists from Japan, China, Senegal, Morocco and Iran alongside those from France \u2014 with equal regard for each.
\nThe breadth of what one person can carry is, at first, simply surprising.
\n\"\"
\nHis philosophy fits in a single sentence.
\n“Deprive the brain of oxygen, and it dies. Deprive it of culture \u2014 the same.”
\nThis is not rhetoric. For him, sharing culture is not entertainment. It is something closer to keeping people alive.
\nRare Gallery Paris 4 is an exhibition space, an intimate concert hall, a screening room, a place for conversation and encounter. He calls it “a laboratory for future success.” The experiment continues today.<\/p>\n
