Venice Biennale 2024 - French Pavilion: Julien Creuzet 

Artist and studio head Julien Creuzet has been chosen by an international jury to represent France.
The Beaux-Arts de Paris publishing department will be publishing the exhibition catalogue to mark the occasion.

More details on this project, which draws on the imagination of the Caribbean and the intersection of African, Indian and European cultures, will be given at a press conference.

For the 5th year running, the law firm Gide has invited students and recent graduates of the School to design a series of 3 short films to be shown throughout the year on the very large LED screens located at the firm's head office in Paris. 43 candidates responded to this call for projects, which were studied by a jury made up of representatives from the Beaux-Arts de Paris and partners from the Gide law firm, who met on 8 December to finalise a selection of projects reflecting the different image practices within the School.

Artist Julieta Hanono presents her work on the Cosmology of the Aubervilliers Aquarium at the La Débrouille workshop, with Adria Bentamate and the support of the Bureau des Heures Invisibles. She is in dialogue with the philosophers Fabienne Brugère and Mara Montanaro, on the relationship between cosmology and the philosophy of care, and on the interweaving of cosmology with the pacha mama and Latin American feminisms.
 

Artist and performer Jocelyn Cottencin uses a wide variety of media to question the place and status of the sign. In the form of installations, films and performances, he explores the way in which images inhabit us, as in the performance Monumental, a score of gestures that activates the memory of certain places or monuments. His work focuses in particular on notions of community, group and the end of modernity.

Speakers: Guillaume Kazerouni from the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rennes and Pierre Oudart, Director of the Institut National Supérieur d'Enseignement Artistique de Marseille Méditerranée.

In LL, Béryl Coulombié reinterprets a paragraph from Monique Wittig's book Les Guérillères. A body moves away, carrying an egg from floor to ceiling. The stage, a precarious assemblage of fleece and wooden planks, is a runway and a meadow. "In the gardens there are no little girls playing". Between the movements and the snatches of text, the anxiety of reproduction is muted.
