Women and plants tell the story of a funeral garden through dance, song and words; Alexandre Lenoir's Jardin-Elysée, formerly located on the site of the Musée des Monuments Français, in Paris. In doing so, they engage in a process of mourning. This mourning is a gesture of resistance; a celebration of their power of life and death.

A specialist in the work of Otto Neurath and the graphic information system Isotype, researcher in the history and culture of German-speaking countries Nepthys Zwer joined the independent research group visionscarto in 2018. She analyzes the cartographic image in terms of its creative gesture, its form, and its social function: what intentions command the graphic choices of cartographers in their formulation of a statement about the "reality" of the physical world? Do the schematic layout, design, semiology and syntax of the map belong to a "visual language"?

Hybrid spaces.

The Beaux-Arts de Paris will host the Rencontres internationales Paris/Berlin for two days of screenings, meetings and discussions dedicated to contemporary practices of the moving image.

Restitution of the masterclass directed by Julian Vogel with the students of the Beaux-Arts de Paris (Huynh and Prévieux workshops) and of the Académie Fratellini. 

The content of the masterclass is articulated around Julian Vogel's artistic approach with his China Series project. The focus is on working with objects and exploring the links between visual arts and circus. The difference lies in the temporal and spatial experience between the forms of presentation, performance and installation/exhibition.
