List of nominees 2021

Cassius Beau Baron, 4th year student James Rielly workshop

The bas-relief "Crucifixion" by François Marchand is absent to make way for a suspended wax drape made by Juliette Minchin. The crucified man has disappeared: all that remains is the cloth that hid his nakedness. Echoing the loincloth worn by Jesus - the Perizonium - very present in the imagery of the crucifixion, the work appears as a sacred cloth. 

 

This fabric also refers to the "Descent from the Cross" where a sheet helps the characters to support and carry the body of Christ and then serves as a shroud.

 

Mimosa
Echard

Studio professor

Born in 1986 in Alès, France. 
Lives and works in Paris.

Mimosa Echard draws on biological research, histories of experimental cinema and her own life to create works that play with the relationship between sexuality, synthesis, and perception.

Working across various media—from sculpture to installation to video games—her work is driven by ongoing and contradictory processes of absorption, accumulation and circulation, observed in phenomena as diverse as popular culture, metabolic systems or electromagnetic spectra.

Julien
Creuzet

Studio professor

Julien Creuzet creates a protean body of work that incorporates poetry, music, sculpture, assemblage, film and animation. By evoking trans-oceanic post-colonial exchanges and their multiple temporalities, the artist places his past, present and future heritage at the heart of his production. Shunning global narratives and cultural reductionism, Julien Creuzet's work often highlights anachronisms and social realities to construct irreducible objects.

The Beaux-Arts de Paris open their doors to you! During the European Heritage Days, come and discover our listed buildings and the treasures they contain. Whether you take a guided or self-guided tour, this is an opportunity to explore the richness of over 300 years of history and architectural innovations, where works by great masters and creations by up-and-coming artists are on display.

Christian Boltanski, immense artist and beloved professor at the Beaux-Arts de Paris : " I used to tell my students : if someone tells you : You're stupid, you're ugly, but your last work is beautiful. Embrace it. The rest doesn't matter.

A friend to whom the School owes much. Tribute
