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.
"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.
The École d'architecture Paris-Malaquais and the École des Beaux-arts de Paris invite Chris Dercon, Managing Director of the Fondation Cartier pour l'Art Contemporain, in connection with the "L'entour" course.

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.
Japan and the Beaux-Arts de Paris have a very strong bond, and are emblematic of the School's international strategy, with partnerships spanning more than 30 years. Nearly a dozen students exchange ideas every year, and joint educational and artistic projects are organised.

As part of Marc Lohner's Acheiropoiètes installation at Saint-Eustache church, the artist presents a musical performance for symphony organ, choir organ, clay horns and "elechtonic" bell.
Acheiropoiètes, a Greek term meaning "not made by the hand of man", is a project that originated in the heart of Saint-Eustache, as close as possible to the marks that time has etched into the architecture. In the same way, Lumen was born in this very church: the spiritual radiance, the spatial dimension and the way in which light diffuses have inspired its composition.
