Anne Poirier, born in 1941 in Marseille, and Patrick Poirier, born in 1942 in Nantes, are one of the few artist couples to work together on joint projects. Since meeting in the late 1960s, Anne and Patrick Poirier have developed pioneering work on memory, the weight of the past in our cultures, and the way in which the humanities can convey a relationship with reality. During their four-year stay at the Villa Medici in Rome in the early 1970s, they developed a working method that has since become a model.
 

Anna Jaccoud and Joséphine Loembe-Sauthat, graduates of the class of 2025, and Valentin Ranger, a graduate of the class of 2023, have been selected to take part in the summer residency at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity (Canada), from mid-July to the end of August 2026. This opportunity has been made available to them through a partnership with the David R. Graham Foundation, a patron committed to fostering artistic exchanges between France and Canada.

 

Alexandre Lenoir graduated from Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2016 with honours. He creates large-scale paintings based on photographs, evoking memories of happy days spent amidst a bountiful and mysterious natural world.

“When I rediscovered *The Water Lilies*, I was struck by the way the water moved in time with the shifting light in the exhibition rooms. I’m very interested in painting as a living entity.”

As part of a collaboration between the Beaux-Arts de Paris and the IESA Arts&Culture Master’s in the Art Market, five student artists from the Mural Painting & Site-Specific Art programme are exhibiting their proposed artwork, designed to become a permanent feature of the DELTA campus.

Organised with the participation of students from the ‘L’Entour’ seminar at Beaux-Arts de Paris and those from the ‘Fabriques cinématiques’ seminar at the École d’architecture Paris-Malaquais-PSL, this exhibition argues that the model is not merely a tool for predicting or refining space, but can also become an instrument of scholarship, a prism through which to view the world, or even a medium for fiction.

A series of models, photographs and texts have been brought together to put this hypothesis to the test.

Public opening Monday May 11th, at 6 pm.

Following on from Des mots et des mondes, this day of talks and discussions aims to trace the career paths of former students of the Beaux-Arts de Paris, based on research featured in the exhibition. 

With Madeleine de Colnet, Armel Cotinat-Flynn, Maëva Delettre, Laura Karp Lugo, Giulia Longo, Lola Mirti, Pascal Odille, Chương-Đài Võ, Mia Yu, Joël Zouna, Mélanie Bouteloup, Armelle Pradalier et Alice Thomine-Berrada.

Writing gestures in contemporary art

In a format that blends lecture and performance, Sally Bonn presents the findings of a research project – which at times takes on the character of an investigation – to explore a new form of interplay between artistic practices and writing practices in contemporary art.
