Choreographer François Chaignaud looks back on his works, which are being revived as part of the Festival d'Automne and were written in collaboration with artist Théo Mercier, butoh dancer Akaji Maro, dancer and artist Cecilia Bengolea, beatboxer Aymeric Hainaux, harpsichordist Marie-Pierre Brébant and artist and stage director Nina Laisné.

To mark the publication of his new monograph by Gallimard, Dominique Perrault – architect of the Bibliothèque nationale de France, urban planner, member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts and winner of the Praemium Imperiale – talks to Éric de Chassey, director of Beaux-Arts de Paris, Barry Bergdoll, professor of art history at Columbia University, and Nina Léger, writer and professor of art history at Beaux-Arts de Marseille.

Beaux-Arts de Paris collections hold a print of Hokusai's famous series of eight woodblock prints depicting waterfalls in different provinces. Produced around 1830, this visionary and synthetic series is an essential milestone in Japanese art from the Edo period and beyond, and has been the subject of numerous ramifications and reinterpretations that are still alive today. During this "spoken collection," designed as a sensitive encounter with the work, four specialists will offer complementary readings and contemporary insights.
 

Filmmakers and artists from around the world have formed Some Strings, a collection of original filmic gestures that originated in Palestine, where poet and professor Refaat Alareer was targeted by Israeli strikes, along with seven members of his family. In his last poem, If I Must Die, published five weeks before his assassination, Refaat Alareer asks those who must live to create a kite – a long-standing symbol of resistance – with pieces of string. Some Strings has inherited this legacy.
 

Léandre Bernard-Brunel is exhibiting new pieces at Chapelle des Petits-Augustins in Beaux-Arts de Paris, created as part of his research-creation thesis with the SACRe laboratory under the supervision of Pascal Rousseau.


Here he presents four in situ proposals that engage in dialogue with the ghosts of René Daumal, Balkrishna V. Doshi, Francisco Goya and Jean-Jacques Lequeu.

Take part in our Open Day


An unmissable event for anyone wishing to join the School and find out everything there is to know about the courses offered at the Beaux-Arts de Paris – the preparatory class with a social focus (Via Ferrata), the first-cycle diploma (bachelor's level) and the national higher diploma in plastic arts (DNSAP, master's level).

A unique opportunity to interact with teams, lecturers, students and graduates.
 

During this conference, the German philosopher and sociologist Hartmut Rosa revisits the concepts of the acceleration of our pace of life and resonance, which he has developed throughout his work (notably in Acceleration: A Social Critique of Time and Resonance: A Sociology of Our Relationship to the World, both published in French translation by La Découverte). If acceleration constitutes the central problem of our time, resonance may be the solution. Hartmut Rosa has renewed the analyses of the first generation of the Frankfurt School by considering alienation as acceleration.
