To mark the publication of L’esprit de l’atelier, Beaux-Arts de Paris is organising a round-table discussion
Material histories
Let's talk about housework!
The artist Miriam Cahn, who is currently presenting the exhibition STILL LEBEN at the Jocelyn Wolff Gallery, is in conversation with the curator and art historian Marta Dziewańska and the curator Emma Lavigne. Together, they reflect on the themes of the exhibition and how this new series of works extends the artist’s feminist commitments and struggles: how the focus on everyday objects and gestures is political.
To mark the exhibition Le Syndrome de Bonnard, currently on display at the FRAC Ile-de-France and curated by the collective Le Bureau/—comprising Marc Bembekoff, Garance Chabert, Aurélien Mole, Céline Poulin and Émilie Villez—the curators reflect on the forms and methods of their curatorial practice.
From their diverse positions—artistic, aesthetic, theoretical, practical, institutional or independent—they have spent the last twenty years or so working to define their practice at the intersection of collective dynamics and individual commitments.

The career of feminist theorist and filmmaker Laura Mulvey has contributed to profoundly transforming our relationship with images. Since the 1970s, the theorist of the "male gaze" has continued to work on behalf of a mobilised gaze, conscious of the asymmetries between genders, asymmetries that structure the history of images, their reception and the ways in which they are produced.
Metahaven’s work between design, filmmaking, textile, installation, and writing has been thoroughly linked with the internet and its geopolitics, pairing research with experimental, exuberant aesthetics.
On 11 March 2011, Japan was shaken by the Fukushima disaster of unprecedented magnitude. What have we learned from this inextricably natural and nuclear disaster?
To discuss its echoes and resonances beyond Japan and "from our window", philosopher Clélia Zernik, curator Élodie Royer, researcher in film theory and aesthetics Élise Domenach, and writer Michaël Ferrier, who share a deep knowledge of the Japanese art scenes with which they maintain a long-standing dialogue, look back on this event and the upheavals it has caused.
