Résumé : This paper offers to look spatially on specific art places, the art galleries, in relation to contemporary urban dynamics. Presenting prospective reflections about the spatialities of places where transactions are financial and symbolic, and the data and methods used for an empirical research, the paper introduces an on-going project dealing with the Parisian landscape of galleries since the booming of contemporary art, in relation to the production of urban space. I argue that ‘visibility’ is a useful notion to interrogate the geography and dynamics associated with art galleries. It will serve to describe their presence and environment within the city and from the street, as well as to describe the ‘visibilisation’ of portions of the city in relation with urban renewal dynamics. Based on quantitative and qualitative data and taking a dynamic perspective, the project will offer insights into the causes and impacts of the spatial structuration of the Parisian art market at different scales. Therefore, the project enhances existing research on the influence of creative activities upon the contested transformations of urban space, but also anchors the analysis of the geography of art galleries and its recent history in a wider socio-economical perspective.
