HEAT Paris is a contemporary Asian art festival presented by the association ZETO Art in partnership with the mi* gallery and CEF-Paris.
This first edition takes place during the French holidays, from late July to late August 2017, a period when galleries and art institutions traditionally take their summer break. But love of art knows no truce, and many summer tourists, French and foreign art lovers, will happily find an emerging offering in the middle of summer! This is how the idea of HEAT Paris was born, a festival hosted in galleries with the artists present at the openings, to promote contemporary Asian art in Europe.
For this first year, ZETO Art chose the theme “Chinese Young Art” with a series, from late July to late August, of four short exhibitions at the mi* gallery, successively presenting paintings, drawings, sculptures, photos, digital art, and a sound installation.
HEAT Paris thus seeks to promote the visibility of young Asian artists and curators and to offer a real opportunity to collectors and art lovers.

ZETO Art is a nonprofit association (loi 1901) created in Paris in 2017 by two former students of IESA arts&culture: ZHI Long - Pro. Master Contemporary Art Market and TUO Ying - Bachelor Expertise and Art Trade.
The association’s aim is to carry out its own curation to create a bridge between Asia and France and to support the work of young Asian and French artists.
Since its creation, ZETO Art has successfully organized several Sino-French exhibitions and cultural exchanges, with partners such as galleries, art schools and centers, museums, government institutions, and with media support, both in France and in Asia. ZETO ART is thus a platform that aims to offer more artistic projects between Asia and France in the service of young artists.
