Agnès
Geoffray

Invited artist

As an iconographer, Agnès Geoffray probes, elaborates and reactivates images. Through staging, reactivation and photographic associations, she reveals a world of latent and mysterious tensions.

At the crossroads of photography, text and performance, her work questions the survival of archetypal gestures that draw their source from a heterogeneous repertoire: anonymous and vernacular photography, medical photography, press photography, etc. Her work focuses on the poetic and political dimensions of images.

Beaux-Arts Numériques is a virtual exhibition devoted entirely to digital creation.
15 students and graduates of the Beaux-Arts de Paris have been selected for this first edition. Their works are presented in 3D, photo, video and mixed media.

With the artists:

Detailed programme

For 2 days, the Ateliers Ouverts are a unique opportunity for the general public and professionals to discover the young creativity and artistic diversity produced by students at the Beaux-Arts de Paris.
Around thirty studios, run by renowned artists, are transformed into exhibition spaces, where students can meet and showcase their work: installations, paintings, photos, sculptures, drawings, videos and more.

Students from Angelica Mesiti and Marion Naccache's Atelier spent a year exploring the collections of the Louvre. Their many crossings of the Carrousel bridge gave rise to a collective sound creation project based on an idea as simple as it is ambitious and joyful: hacking audioguides. In this way, they invented tracks for a museum soundtrack, creating flexible forms that redefine what it means for young artists to be present within the walls of a major heritage institution.

We, Beaux-Arts de Paris, are united in calling for an immediate ceasefire in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, for the release of the hostages, the free entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, and respect for international law.

We express our condemnation of the terrorist attack and massacre perpetrated by Hamas on 7 October 2023. We denounce the massacres committed by the State of Israel against Palestinian civilians and express our support for the victims who are paying with their lives for this conflict that is turning the Gaza Strip into a hell.

A 2018 graduate of the Beaux-Arts de Paris, Christine Safa has just been named winner of the Bredin Prat Prize, which aims to showcase contemporary painting. For the 2024 selection, artists are chosen for their ability to give new dimensions to the art of painting.
