For over two hundred years, the Beaux-Arts de Paris site has devoted a vast complex of buildings - some dating back to the seventeenth century - to the teaching of art and architecture: a place of creation and freedom without equal in the world.

In this book, Anne Debarre and Maxime Decommer, teachers and researchers at the ‘Architecture, Culture, Society’ laboratory at the École d'architecture Paris-Malaquais, bring together the architectural and educational dimensions of this exceptional site, exploring the evolution of the buildings and their uses.

For Marc Couturier, ‘to draw is to dwell in grace. To draw is to reveal, to walk, to draw is to breathe, to survey lines, it is an exercise in humility and freedom’. Hervé Chandès, extract from the preface.

Born in 1946 in Mirbeau-sur-Bèze (Côte d'or), Marc Couturier lives and works in Paris.

Théo Mercier is as much a sculptor as he is a director. By turns explorer, collector, curator and artist, his work lies at the crossroads of anthropology, geopolitics, tourism and landscape.

In this interview, he talks about his career and his latest show, Skinless, currently on show at the Théâtre de la Villette as part of the Festival d'Automne à Paris. Built on a landscape of detritus, Skinless is a disenchanted Eden.

To coincide with the 8th edition of the Un Week-End à l'Est festival, which this year focuses on the artistic scene in Yerevan, Armenia, a unique dialogue between visual artist Melik Ohanian and film-maker Andrei Ujica highlights a major figure in the 7th art, the film-maker Artavazd Pelechian.

As rare as he is celebrated, he is the ‘missing link in the true history of cinema’, in the words of Serge Daney who, along with Jean-Luc Godard, was one of the most ardent promoters of his work in France in the early 1990s.

Since their meeting in 2008, photographer Erica Baum and artist-writer Marcelline Delbecq have continued to exchange ideas, each taking an ever-renewed interest in the other's practice.

Over the course of their discussions and joint events at the Malmö Art Museum, the Albertine bookshop in New York and the Fondation Cartier in Paris, an endless conversation has developed, the main threads of which will be taken up in this exchange: how do they look at their surroundings? How do they experience the urbanities of New York and Paris? Why Japan?

Yan Tomaszewski, a 2011 graduate, is the winner of the 15th COAL 2024 Prize

For the work Sequana, which he has been working on since 2020, in homage to the healing goddess of the Seine.

Sculptures inspired by anatomical ex-voto found at the sources of the Seine, wooden body fragments have been sculpted, transformed into activated charcoal and then immersed in the river to absorb its pollutants.

 

The artist will receive €12,000 and a creative residency at the Domaine de Belval.
