FREE ENTRY | Beaux-arts de Paris

Since their meeting in 2008, photographer Erica Baum and artist-writer Marcelline Delbecq have continued to exchange ideas, each taking an ever-renewed interest in the other's practice.

Over the course of their discussions and joint events at the Malmö Art Museum, the Albertine bookshop in New York and the Fondation Cartier in Paris, an endless conversation has developed, the main threads of which will be taken up in this exchange: how do they look at their surroundings? How do they experience the urbanities of New York and Paris? Why Japan?

In partnership with PhotoSaintGermain, the Beaux-Arts de Paris and the École nationale supérieure de la photographie in Arles have joined forces to organise an exhibition entitled Situations de l'image, presented in different areas of the Beaux-Arts de Paris.

The aim of the exhibition is to show the diversity of photographic writing in today's image community: from the image in the field of enlarged practices that are increasingly pushing back the boundaries of the frame to the photographic act itself, which is situated and intimately linked to the position of its author, dragging with it a host of social, intimate and political questions.

The exhibition provides an overview of photographic approaches as practised at the Beaux-Arts de Paris and the École Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie in Arles.

Artists from the Beaux-Arts de Paris: Zoé Bernardi, Léonard Berthou, Léa Farant, Tessa Larcher Coadou, Ugo Casubolo Ferro, Jule Heinzelmann, Jinyong Lian, Winca Mendy, Océane Pilastre, Joseph Rozé, Ayako Sakuragi, Anne Shitrit, Yuquan Liu, Hanna Zubkova.

Artists from ENSP Arles: Simon Bouillère, Sarah Bourget, Léonard Contramestre, Gaëlle Delort, Salomé Gaeta, Ambre Husson, Noria Kaouadji, Basile Lorentz, Nicolas Marbeau, Bahia Ourahou, Thomas Pouly, Valia Russo, Gaetan Soerensen, Antonio Del Vecchio.

With the support of the Neuflize OBC Foundation, patron of the Extra-Large Photo Chair at the Beaux-Arts de Paris.

Led by Audrey Illouz, Vincent Lambert and Simon Petit Fort.

On the occasion of the publication of (Non) Performance: A Daily Practice, author and curator Julie Pellegrin dialogues with artist Kapwani Kiwanga about ways of performing knowledge, care and disorientation.

Artist Peng Zuqiang, winner of the Art Explora residency at the Cité des Arts, is interested in the emotional resonance of stories, bodies and language. His work includes films, videos and installations.

Théo Mercier is as much a sculptor as he is a director. By turns explorer, collector, curator and artist, his work lies at the crossroads of anthropology, geopolitics, tourism and landscape.

To coincide with the 8th edition of the Un Week-End à l'Est festival, which this year focuses on the artistic scene in Yerevan, Armenia, a unique dialogue between visual artist Melik Ohanian and film-maker Andrei Ujica highlights a major figure in the 7th art, the film-maker Artavazd Pelechian.
