Tracing the careers of students at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Paris in the 19th and 20th centuries necessarily involves consulting numerous, scattered and partial archives. By publishing the Ecole des Beaux-Arts register (1813-1968) in digital format, Alice Thomine-Berrada, Déborah Laks, Lucie Lachenal and France Nerlich have confronted themselves with the arid data of administrative archives, far removed from the contrasting, lively, singular experience of those who, at some point in their youth, wished to commit themselves to the path of art.

For the Nuit Blanche and La Fabrique du Regard Festival at the BAL, students from the Clément Cogitore studio are offering an original program of films and videos entitled Soudain parmi les autres, presented from 7pm to 11pm.
Between free fiction and fragmentary documentary, the films presented explore contemporary uses of the image as a place of resistance, doubt and address. Borrowing from diaries, reportage, amateur cinema and found footage, they question our relationship to the visible, the archive and the narrative.

In this book, Christian Jaccard delivers long, powerful extracts from his unpublished diary, opened in 1968. As Nicolas Bourriaud reminds us in his preface: "From the outset, Christian Jaccard's work has been what he calls intelligible experimentation. Through his exploration of combustion phenomena. Today, Christian Jaccard, the pyronaut, is bringing his work to the fore, as a contemporary of climate change, a precursor of the aesthetics of the Anthropocene."
Born in 1956, Welsh artist James Rielly was head of studio at Beaux-Arts de Paris from 2005 to 2024. This comprehensive monograph, prefaced by Jean-Charles de Castelbajac and introduced by a text by Anaël Pigeat, chronologically retraces his career as an artist and reveals the true work of a colorist with a subtle, ethereal chromatic palette.
Cassius Baron (drawings), 2023 graduate, Pauline de Fontgalland (sculpture), 2022 graduate and Louis Lanne (painting), 2023 graduate are the first winners of the grants created by the Taylor Foundation to support artists at Beaux-Arts de Paris.
