As part of the exhibition, this workshop invites participants to explore the spaces between the traces of trauma and the act of healing. By placing the archive at the heart of the creative process, the aim is to work through the transition from endured narratives to images that finally find expression, framing these gestures as vehicles for healing and reclaiming.
This residency, which began on 16 March and will run until 22 May 2026, forms part of a postgraduate ‘professional practice’ programme. The artists have access to a shared workspace of over 200 m², as well as support from curator Raphaël Brunel.
Book launch and signing event for Bernard Moninot’s Le Fil d’alerte, published by Beaux-Arts de Paris Éditions.
Discussion led by Samuel Cordier.
More information on the book
Rémi Marcel, a fifth-year student in Tatiana Trouvé’s studio, is receiving critical guidance from Oulimata Gueye, guest curator of this sixth edition, as well as production support to create an art installation that will be presented at Saint-Eustache Church next October. He will present an installation comprising two half-columns modelled on those of the church, one being the imprint of the other, like an archaeological relic. The installation represents the process of germination: from seed to fruit, from an underground life towards the light. This journey is rendered partially visible.
“During this residency, we hope to develop and establish a shared visual practice. For several years now, we have been nurturing the idea of creating an illustrated book, conceived, painted and written by us.”
For the seventh consecutive year, the law firm Gide invited students and recent graduates from the School to create a series of three short films, to be shown throughout the year on the giant LED screens at the firm’s headquarters in Paris (8th arrondissement). Forty-seven candidates responded to this call for projects, which were assessed by a jury comprising representatives from Beaux-Arts de Paris and partners from Gide, to finalise a selection of projects reflecting the diverse approaches to visual arts within the School.

This performance is the result of a dialogue between two projects: *Journal*, an oral and gestural journal initiated by the choreographer Matthieu Blond, and the research project *Quire Whidsune* on medieval poetic and theatrical forms led by the artist Simon Asencio. This collaboration aims to develop a choreographic reconstruction of Virginia Woolf’s essay *Anon*.
Tristan Garcia, accompanied for the occasion by the vocals and electric guitar of La Féline (Agnès Gayraud), will give a reading from his short story, "Front Haut" (Âmes, Gallimard, 2019). It is a brief epic tale of a Neanderthal woman betrayed by a human.
Tristan Garcia, a lecturer at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, has published works on theory and novels. His latest book is *Vie contre vie* (Gallimard, 2021).
