Writing gestures in contemporary art

In a format that blends lecture and performance, Sally Bonn presents the findings of a research project – which at times takes on the character of an investigation – to explore a new form of interplay between artistic practices and writing practices in contemporary art.

Following on from Des mots et des mondes, this day of talks and discussions aims to trace the career paths of former students of the Beaux-Arts de Paris, based on research featured in the exhibition. 

With Madeleine de Colnet, Armel Cotinat-Flynn, Maëva Delettre, Laura Karp Lugo, Giulia Longo, Lola Mirti, Pascal Odille, Chương-Đài Võ, Mia Yu, Joël Zouna, Mélanie Bouteloup, Armelle Pradalier et Alice Thomine-Berrada.

Beaux-Arts de Paris is delighted to be taking part in the 8th edition of 100% L’EXPO, which opens the Grande Halle de la Villette to young graduates of French art schools.

Exhibitions and performances related to the exhibition After Michelangelo

Nine artist-teachers from the School – Pascale Accoyer, Claude Closky, Clément Cogitore, Frédérique Loutz, Jack McNiven, Guillaume Paris, Philippe Renault, Daniel Schlier, Valérie Sonnier – have joined forces for the exhibition After Michelangelo and invited their students to explore Michelangelo’s work and the way it inspires them today.

The works created in this context are on display for three days in the Chapelle des Petits-Augustins, the left gallery and the cour vitrée.

Conceived as an extension of the exhibition Après Michel-Ange, this event brings together a series of talks designed to shed light on the contemporary and educational value that Xavier Sigalon’s copy of *The Last Judgement* – on display in the Chapelle des Petits-Augustins since 1837 – may hold today. All the talks will take place in this chapel.

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.
