The REG-ARTS project is a joint project of the Beaux-Arts de Paris, the CNRS and the INHA. Its objective is to establish an essential resource for art history, enriched digital access to the registration registers of student painters and sculptors at the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris between 1813 and 1968.
From tuesday 18 october 2022 to sunday 23 october 2022
Every day from 10 am to 7 pm
Chapelle des Petits-Augustins
14 rue Bonaparte, 75006 Paris
The Beaux-Arts de Paris are pleased to welcome with Paris+ by Art Basel the project of Omer Fast and the gallery gb agency within the Sites sector of the modern and contemporary art fair.
The Karla exhibition is built on archetypes in which masks, ghosts and characters tell stories of the past that illuminate the present, time loops between documentary and fiction.
Karla's face, 2020 (video hologram) floats in a room. The real Karla works at filtering offensive images and texts for an internet giant. Her anonymous testimony is replayed by an actress whose face has been scanned to convert each of her expressions and emotions into digital data.
The progressive morphing seems to accompany the fragile construction of the story. Karla, both witness and ghostly presence, tells of her role and her eternal mission to suppress ever more unbearable images. An installation of drawings endlessly replays a self-portrait by Max Beckmann from 1917: copies of copies exhaust the artist's traumatised face, one eye open and the other closed.
Whether they delete or make visible on digital platforms, whether they transgress the boundaries of the living and the dead, Omer Fast's characters provoke systems of power. The artist fictionalises what he sees of our world, its transformations and aspirations. Together, these elements respond to the 16th century sculptures on permanent display in the Chapelle des Petits-Augustins and explore the inherently ambiguous nature of concepts such as authenticity, time and reality.

Students from Julien Sirjacq's studio at the Beaux-Arts de Paris are invited to take over the space of the Gallery as part of the exhibition cycle "La Construction du Champ".
For part #4 of this cycle, the artists question our relationship to the world and to others, the way we show ourselves and our modes of relationship. From their own identities and experiences, biographies and fictions intersect to construct new narratives of reality and update, in this sense, the link between the individual and the collective.
From wednesday 28 september 2022 to saturday 12 november 2022
Tue. to Sat. 2pm-8pm - Nocturne on Thursday until 9pm
Fondation Pernod Ricard
1, cours Paul Ricard 75008 Paris
The Pernod Ricard Foundation and the Beaux-Arts de Paris renew their collaboration for 2022-2023. Clédia Fourniau, 2021 graduate, inaugurates the second season of the "L'Avancée" program with her paintings in the heart of the café-library.
Located in the heart of the café-library of the new Pernod Ricard Foundation, l'Avancée is a hanging space dedicated to emerging artists, a way to extend the exhibition space into the living space.
"The eye dances across the canvas, from the center to the sides, caught up in the undulations of a pictorial body that is nonetheless motionless. There is, in each work of Clédia Fourniau, a succession of colored layers that calls to dive into the depth, or rather to go up to its surface, towards the opening on which is superimposed a translucent stratification of resins.
Mirroring, this surface reflects by fragments the body of the observer: subtle setting in abyss of the image which reflects itself - which thinks itself - and which reflects the image which questions it - ourselves -. A reflection which goes until leaving the frame, and taking a new dimension, in that the matter stretches its consistency to leave apparent its margins and redefine new contours... Or how to question, of more beautiful, this "reflexive device" and identity of the support which, like the bottom, often passes unnoticed.
Clédia Fourniau uproots the fundamentals to better understand the components and deployments: the object that makes work, the work that is object, the whole that is art. Thorny reflection, even existential, in the immaterial era of the metaverse and the NFT.

ENTRÉE LIBRE
The Cercle Chromatique, the alumni association of the Beaux-Arts de Paris, invites Cyprien Chabert to present his project Le théâtre des formes.
The amphitheater, a place of learning about human morphology, will host a vast wall drawing.
It is a kinesis of vegetal and organic forms that combines performance and the realization of a painting on the scale of architecture, the basis of this work presented as a memory of gesture.
