Jia Happenings founded Belle Beau Gallery in Arles in July 2020 with her partner in crime, artistic director Julien Batifol, formerly an independent cinema producer turned artist. The gallery has moved from 14 rue de Grille to 24 rue de l’Hotel de Ville to 3 boulevard Georges Clemenceau, all in the old center. Attracted by the cultural effervescence generated by LUMA, Lee U Fan Foundation and other galleries, art schools and creatives spaces, Belle Beau has chosen Arles.
Pia Camilla Copper is a France-based Canadian writer, curator and art consultant. In 2006, she created the first contemporary Chinese art department in Europe at Artcurial, which also featured two yearly Chinese modern and contemporary art auctions and a series of talks about Chinese art with key figures such as Uli Sigg, Gu Zhengqing, etc. She also originated the idea of the Cutting Edge auction which featured art from emerging countries targeting young international collectors such as Iran, Arabia, North and South Korea, Russia, Vietnam and beyond.
She subsequently worked for Chinese and Iranian sales at Bonhams and Pierre Cornette de St-Cyr including expertise for smaller auction houses such as Eve auctions.
She writes articles about Asia and the Middle East for Randian, Vie des Arts, Esse magazine, Artlog, LVMH, etc.
She did her BA at McGill University, her MA at the INALCO on the poetry of Tang dynasty courtesan Xue Tao and her DEA at the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes on the Taoist cult of the Bixia Yuanjun.
She founded the publishing company Horizons Editions in 2010 with Christopher Ind, focusing on large format photographic books about the Middle East and Asia.
The name Horizons was inspired by Freya Stark's words: “I think I like to look over the edge and see what’s coming… There’s something that is given to every living creature that has eyes, whether it’s a tiny mosquito or an elephant, and that’s a horizon.”
