This session will examine the place of women artists in the ranks of students at the Beaux-Arts in Paris.

ENTRÉE LIBRE

Paul Thek (1933-1988), one of the most singular American artists of the second half of the 20th century, always refused to belong to mainstream art. 
During the 1960s, his work developed on the fringes of Pop art and minimal art, taking the body as its subject in its most carnal representation. 
A free-spirited, well-travelled artist, he spent fifteen years travelling around Europe and living in Italy, where his art and culture profoundly influenced some of his work.

ENTRÉE LIBRE

"The end of the world is a concept without a future".

Paul Virilio, the great architect and philosopher who died in 2018, was the originator of dromology, the study of the role played by speed in modern societies. To mark the publication of 22 of his essays (published by Seuil), his daughter Sophie Virilio, architect Jean Richer, publisher Maria Vlachou and art historian Christian Joschke discuss accelerationist thinking.

10 years ago, the Prix du Dessin Contemporain was created by the association Le Cabinet des Amateurs de Dessins des Beaux-Arts de Paris, which plays an active role in enriching the collections of the Beaux-Arts de Paris, with a view to encouraging young artists.

Des lignes de désir presents the twenty-eight artists who graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Paris with a Diplôme National Supérieur d'Arts Plastiques and a Congratulations from the Jury in 2023.

The exhibition, curated by Emilie Villez, reflects the diversity of the artistic proposals that have emerged from the School. Paintings, sculptures, installations and videos coexist with performance and publishing practices, presented through a weekly programme.

Lines of desire, also known as paths of free will, are gentle challenges to the system, traced out in the landscape by the erosion of humans or animals as they walk. Criticism of the excesses of modernity is a subtext for the artists presented.

Getting off the beaten track, while finding one's place in the art ecosystem: the aim of the exhibition is above all to present the public with a panorama of contemporary artistic practices, opening up avenues of resonance and reflection on art and the world today.

Events will be held every week, with details of the programme to follow on beauxartsparis.fr.

To coincide with the opening on 23 January, Rose Bourdon will be presenting an inaugural performance: DIPLÔMÉ.ES is a collective play in which five École Centrale Paris students play the first-person roles of alumni whose lives and testimonies have been collected during telephone calls over the past few months. The actors each wear an 'alloro trionfale' laurel wreath that distinguishes them from the rest of the audience, a popular symbol of the graduation rite. The testimonies are documented and archived in an edition produced by Margot Bernard.

A publication accompanies the exhibition.
