Artist and performer Jocelyn Cottencin uses a wide variety of media to question the place and status of the sign. In the form of installations, films and performances, he explores the way in which images inhabit us, as in the performance Monumental, a score of gestures that activates the memory of certain places or monuments. His work focuses in particular on notions of community, group and the end of modernity.
Speakers: Guillaume Kazerouni from the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rennes and Pierre Oudart, Director of the Institut National Supérieur d'Enseignement Artistique de Marseille Méditerranée.
To coincide with his exhibition Critical Mass at the Musée Rodin, the artist Antony Gormley talks to Guitemie Maldonado, art historian and professor at the Beaux-Arts de Paris, about his practice as a sculptor.

This session will examine the place of women artists in the ranks of students at the Beaux-Arts in Paris. More broadly, it will look at the way in which gender and its non-binarity are dealt with and represented by educational bodies and through the social norms in force in the micro-society that is the School.

Paul Thek (1933-1988), one of the most singular American artists of the second half of the 20th century, always refused to belong to mainstream art.
During the 1960s, his work developed on the fringes of Pop art and minimal art, taking the body as its subject in its most carnal representation.
A free-spirited, well-travelled artist, he spent fifteen years travelling around Europe and living in Italy, where his art and culture profoundly influenced some of his work.
"The end of the world is a concept without a future".
Paul Virilio, the great architect and philosopher who died in 2018, was the originator of dromology, the study of the role played by speed in modern societies. To mark the publication of 22 of his essays (published by Seuil), his daughter Sophie Virilio, architect Jean Richer, publisher Maria Vlachou and art historian Christian Joschke discuss accelerationist thinking.
The École d'architecture Paris-Malaquais and the École des Beaux-arts de Paris invite Chris Dercon, Managing Director of the Fondation Cartier pour l'Art Contemporain, in connection with the "L'entour" course.
