Hélène Janicot, a 5th year student, is the winner of a production grant from Rubis Mécénat in partnership with the church of Saint-Eustache and the Beaux-Arts de Paris. She exhibits a work in three stations installed in the heart of the church. Curated by Audrey Illouz.
Hélène Janicot's project for the church of Saint-Eustache is articulated around three stations. The first one opens the path and tests the force of attraction. The artist pushes an architectural motif emblematic of the Gothic church to the point of purity: the pillars that underlie the collateral and invite elevation. Hélène Janicot redraws the octagonal structure by means of metallic wires. A second station offers a completely different relationship of scale: a transparent slab reveals a hole. Reminiscent of an archaeological dig, the hole also refers to the beginning and the fall of bodies. In the Saint-Louis chapel, she proposes a last station and takes in the concrete the prints of her own kneeling body.
With this first in situ project, the artist approaches the very essence of the place through a series of refined but tense gestures, and invites us to a physical and sensitive experience that puts the body and the mind in motion.
The Pernod Ricard Foundation and the Beaux-Arts de Paris renew their collaboration for 2022-2023. Clédia Fourniau, 2021 graduate, inaugurates the second season of the "L'Avancée" program with her paintings in the heart of the café-library.
Located in the heart of the café-library of the new Pernod Ricard Foundation, l'Avancée is a hanging space dedicated to emerging artists, a way to extend the exhibition space into the living space.
"The eye dances across the canvas, from the center to the sides, caught up in the undulations of a pictorial body that is nonetheless motionless. There is, in each work of Clédia Fourniau, a succession of colored layers that calls to dive into the depth, or rather to go up to its surface, towards the opening on which is superimposed a translucent stratification of resins.
Mirroring, this surface reflects by fragments the body of the observer: subtle setting in abyss of the image which reflects itself - which thinks itself - and which reflects the image which questions it - ourselves -. A reflection which goes until leaving the frame, and taking a new dimension, in that the matter stretches its consistency to leave apparent its margins and redefine new contours... Or how to question, of more beautiful, this "reflexive device" and identity of the support which, like the bottom, often passes unnoticed.
Clédia Fourniau uproots the fundamentals to better understand the components and deployments: the object that makes work, the work that is object, the whole that is art. Thorny reflection, even existential, in the immaterial era of the metaverse and the NFT.

The Cercle Chromatique, the alumni association of the Beaux-Arts de Paris, invites Cyprien Chabert to present his project Le théâtre des formes.
The amphitheater, a place of learning about human morphology, will host a vast wall drawing.
It is a kinesis of vegetal and organic forms that combines performance and the realization of a painting on the scale of architecture, the basis of this work presented as a memory of gesture.

On the occasion of the publication of John Giorno's Memoirs by the Editions des Beaux-Arts de Paris, a reading is organized at the Maison de la Poésie in the presence of the artist Ugo Rondinone and Jean-Jacques Lebel, artist and specialist of sound poetry.
Thibault Boulvain defended his dissertation in 2017 at the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne on visual representations of HIV-positive status and AIDS in Europe and the United States between 1981 and 1997. The resulting book, L'art en sida. 1981-1997, was published in June 2021 by Presses du réel (collection "Œuvres en sociétés").
The artist Haegue Yang creates installations composed of photographs, videos and sculptural elements from her philosophical and political research. Responding to the places where she exhibits, she creates new in-situ installations integrating both the architecture of the exhibition space and the materials collected around it. Her refined yet singular vision of materiality, combined with an elegant sense of space and atmosphere, contribute to the development of enveloping and resonant installations.
"With Isadora Duncan, Jérôme Bel drew up for the first time the danced portrait of a choreographer, after having concentrated exclusively on the life of the dancers. For this new creation, which he describes as "auto-bio-choreo-graphic", he lends himself to his own exercise and delivers his personal account of a life of dance.
At the initiative of the Beaux-Arts de Paris, Felicità Milieu des choses invites the thirty-five artists Felicità 2020 and 2021 of the Beaux-Arts de Paris to offer a very personal reading of the environment and its edges, on a proposal by the artist and curator Thomas Fougeirol.
"Each artist is a milieu around which multiple ecosystems gravitate, the result of a personal history and different socio-cultural contexts. How sensitive are we to other environments, to others in their environments? The world is full of objects and connections are made at lightning speed, the artist must slow down to make other things, other events with a deep and intimate resonance. The skin, the texture of these things and performances are like drums, they materialize deep sounds.
If some artists think of the thing as a target to be reached by planting its arrow in its middle, others explore its edges." Thomas Fougeirol
Organized outside the walls, the exhibition Felicità Milieu des choses is the result of a collective work. The works and performances have been imagined to take over the large 1,800 m2 plateau of POUSH in Aubervilliers.
Among the 94 students who graduated in 2020, 14 were congratulated by the jury presided by Béatrice Gross and composed of Marc Bembekoff, Mohammed Bourouissa, Emilie Renard and Barthélemy Toguo.
