Documentaries, experimental films, fiction films, found footage: each project by the students of the Cogitore studio at Beaux-Arts de Paris explores, in its own way, the blurred boundaries and distinctions between these different narrative forms. 

At the intersection of the personal and the collective, of politics and aesthetics, these works hold as much promise for what is yet to come as they do for the unique artistic visions they embody. Hybrid, contemplative, furious, conceptual, participatory, cathartic films: a new generation of artists is emerging.

Beaux-Arts de Paris is delighted to be taking part in the 8th edition of 100% L’EXPO, which opens the Grande Halle de la Villette to young graduates of French art schools.

Exhibitions and performances related to the exhibition After Michelangelo

Nine artist-teachers from the School – Pascale Accoyer, Claude Closky, Clément Cogitore, Frédérique Loutz, Jack McNiven, Guillaume Paris, Philippe Renault, Daniel Schlier, Valérie Sonnier – have joined forces for the exhibition After Michelangelo and invited their students to explore Michelangelo’s work and the way it inspires them today.

The works created in this context are on display for three days in the Chapelle des Petits-Augustins, the left gallery and the cour vitrée.

Conceived as an extension of the exhibition Après Michel-Ange, this event brings together a series of talks designed to shed light on the contemporary and educational value that Xavier Sigalon’s copy of *The Last Judgement* – on display in the Chapelle des Petits-Augustins since 1837 – may hold today. All the talks will take place in this chapel.

The book will be presented at Librairie Rupture as part of the 2026 Venice Biennale, with the opening on Friday 8 May.

Recipes from Beaux-Arts artists is a book of family recipes, inventions, concepts, aesthetics and poetry. It is a book of elaborate recipes and snacks. A book of travels and traditions, of childhood memories… It is an implicit portrait of those who penned its pages and created original works—paintings, drawings, sculptures, and writings—to accompany them.

Having taught at the Beaux-Arts for fifteen years, the painter Djamel Tatah has trained a generation of artists who today stand out for the unique power of their work and the success of their careers. Sixteen of them have been invited to take part in an exhibition at the MO.CO. in Montpellier. 
 

Let's talk about housework! 

The artist Miriam Cahn, who is currently presenting the exhibition STILL LEBEN at the Jocelyn Wolff Gallery, is in conversation with the curator and art historian Marta Dziewańska and the curator Emma Lavigne. Together, they reflect on the themes of the exhibition and how this new series of works extends the artist’s feminist commitments and struggles: how the focus on everyday objects and gestures is political.
