ENTRÉE LIBRE

As part of the event Mondes nouveaux X Beaux-Arts of Paris, round-table discussion on artistic creation with the artists Éric Baudelaire, Eléonore Saintagnan and César Vayssié, moderated by Alain Berland.

 

Éric Baudelaire is an artist and filmmaker. After a career as a political scientist, he developed an artistic practice rooted in research work including photography, printmaking and video. Since 2011, cinema has become central to his work. In his exhibitions, Éric Baudelaire incorporates his films within installations that include other works and documents, as well as performances, publications, and event programming, notably during the APRÈS project (2017) at the Centre Pompidou and The Secession Sessions (2014) at Bétonsalon, Paris. He received the Marcel Duchamp Prize in 2019 and published the monograph FAIRE AVEC with Paraguay Presse in 2023.

 

Eléonore Saintagnan is a visual artist and director born in 1979 in Paris. She lives and works in Brussels. Situated between visual arts and cinema, her work explores the relations between reality and fiction, technology and tradition, popular culture and philosophy. Hybrid, it is exhibited in art centers in France and abroad, and circulates in film festivals.

 

César Vayssié graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Dijon and was a resident at the Villa Medici in Rome in 1996-1997. An outstanding artist, he tells of the confusion between art, politics and love. His films and performances insolently mix genres and artistic identities in search of narrative phenomena that engage the body. His works are shown in many visual and performing arts venues around the world. He collaborates with Boris Charmatz, Philippe Quesne, François Chaignaud, Olivia Grandville... Associate artist at the Menagerie de Verre in 2017, he creates the performances Coproduction and Example. His film UFE won the Georges de Beauregard National Prize and the Audience Prize at FID Marseille in 2016. His film Ne travaille pas won the Fipresci Prize at the 2018 Venice Biennale. He is an associate artist at Mille Plateaux, CCN de La Rochelle and winner of the Mondes nouveaux program with Ricorda ti che è un film comico, both film and performance.

Penser le Présent is produced with the support of Société Générale.
