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.

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.

The collections department in action!

In preparation for the move of part of the collections to outsourced storage at the Beaux-Arts de Paris, the team is working simultaneously on four collections projects (drawings, prints and photographs, antiquarian books and numismatics).

These projects involve dusting, marking, counting and repackaging the works. This colossal task will considerably improve our knowledge of the collections. It is an essential prerequisite for moving works of art in complete safety. It is also an opportunity to rediscover some very fine pieces.

Congratulations to Raphaëlle Bertran (born 1992), who graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2020 and won the 1st Darmo Art Prize, a French award for emerging artists.

She will benefit from an artistic residency at the Bastide du Roy in Antibes or the Ghica Victoria Palace in Bucharest, as well as a production and organisation budget for a future exhibition.
