Les Suffragettes de l'art offers a series of portraits of artists who were as talented as they were determined, and who had been forgotten for too long in the history books. From the end of the 19th century to the present day, immerse yourself in the exciting struggle waged by women artists to conquer the Beaux-Arts in Paris.

On the occasion of the publication of Suffragettes de l'art, author Anaïd Demir talks to Pascale Le Thorel, director of Beaux-Arts de Paris éditions, about the stages in women's conquest of the École and their struggle to assert their rights and existence in the artistic field. The interview will be conducted by Alain Berland. Special guests will be artists and teachers Valérie Sonnier, Nathalie Talec and Tatiana Trouvé. 

Art historian, author and curator Marie de Brugerolle questions the impact and legacy of performativity on the visual arts, and looks back at Post Performance Future, a pioneering travelling artistic research project she directed from 2012 to 2022.

Her book Post Performance Future. Method/e, published in September 2023, retraces 10 years of research based on the interweaving of performative experiences and practices with several generations of students and artists including Andrea Fraser, Agnieszka Kurant, Cally Spooner, Julien Bismuth and Jimmy Robert.

Constance Nouvel lives and works in Paris. Since 2010 she has been developing a practice based on the technical elements of photography, questioning the reproduction of tangible reality as a process open to the complexities of representation. She explores the notion of photographic objects, and her reflections unfold in installations that bring space and time into dialogue in a formal language. Questions of format, scale and support are at the heart of her work, in a constant shift between real and suggested space.

This exhibition is the first in a series of thought-provoking programmes organised by the curatorial team at the Beaux-Arts de Paris, designed to put the museum's unique present into perspective with its equally unique history.
of this school-museum by its equally unique and founding history of museum thinking in France.

Based on a dozen emblematic figures - architect, curator, donor - La Fabrique des collections embodies the main stages in the creation of a heritage that continues to nourish the imagination of young artists.

 

After Karolina Orzelek in 2020, Ymane Chabi-Gara in 2021 and Clédia Fourniau in 2022, artist Barbana Bojadzi wins the fourth edition of the Prix Sisley Beaux-Arts de Paris pour la Jeune Création.

Skye Arundhati Thomas, international curator, is in residence in the "Artists & Exhibition Professions" programme. For 2023-2024, the Pernod Ricard Foundation is joining forces with the Beaux-Arts de Paris to offer a residency to an international curator. Skye Arundhati Thomas will work with the two other curators, Louise Nicolas de Lamballerie and Tadeo Kohan, on a collective project designed with the fifteen or so students taking part in the programme. In addition to her work at the School, the Foundation will support the curator in her discovery of the art ecosystem in France.
