Julien Frydman has just been named Director of Paris Photo, by Jean-Daniel Compain (Managing Director of Culture Division for Reed Exhibitions). Paris Photo 2011 will be held from November 9th to 13th, and will take place in its new venue in the Grand Palais, no longer in the Carrousel du Louvre.

Julien Frydman was formerly the Director of Magnum Photos in Paris since 2006, and maintains a role as consultant for the Luma Foundation for the ”parc des ateliers” in Arles since January 2011.

For its 15th edition, Paris Photo 2011 will honor African photography.
