Matali Crasset is an internationally renowned French designer.

Since her training at the Ateliers-ENSCI in the 1990s, she has defended a design at the crossroads of artistic, anthropological and social practice.

She works for a design of creation, of the living and the everyday: how can design contribute to living together and accompany us in the contemporary world? It is from this simple yet committed premise that she thinks and works "in motion".

The taste of the ugly

 

French-British fashion journalist Alice Pfeiffer talks with Alain Berland on the occasion of the publication of her essay Le goût du moche (The taste of the ugly) published by Flammarion.

 

This essay, in the form of a personal account, touches on what is foreign about loving what does not fit into the norms of good taste.

Is ugly a new trend? Is it a simple pleasure to displease that to display the ugly on oneself? Could the ugly be a political, radical gesture, an act of resistance in an ultra-filtered virtual world?

Pascal Rousseau, a specialist in the historical avant-gardes and professor of art history at Beaux-Arts de Paris, is the winner of the Pierre Daix Prize for Hypnosis. Art et hypnotisme de Messmer à nos jours published by Beaux-Arts de Paris éditions in co-publication with the Musée d'arts de Nantes.

 

Pascal Rousseau presents in this book how hypnosis has always fascinated artists and intellectuals. In it he exposes the surrealists but also contemporaries from Freud to Lacan. The book also received the 2021 art book award.

 

The Rome of the 17th century is presented through thirty-four sheets selected from the masterpieces of the collection of the Beaux-Arts de Paris. These drawings allow us to measure the importance of the Baroque spirit, around the most important personalities of the century: Bernini, Peter of Cortona, Salvator Rosa or Carlo Maratti.
