Writing life. A not-to-be-missed conference by the extraordinary writer Annie Ernaux. Her texts - including La place, Les armoires vides, La femme gelée, Mémoire de fille, etc. - explore autobiographical material in various non-fictional forms
On line and on site
This international colloquium, organized by the ENS and the École du Louvre and Beaux-Arts de Paris, aims to renew the discourse on idleness in art, taking as its object all the artistic forms of idleness (voluntary but also, sometimes, suffered) from the mid-1940s to the present day, also questioning the refusal to make work and anti-productivist strategies.
On the occasion of its 10th anniversary and as part of the Beaux-Arts de Paris conference program, the Rubis Mécénat endowment fund invites artists Dhewadi Hadjab and Stéphane Thidet, as well as curator Gaël Charbau, to participate in a discussion moderated by Alain Berland about commissioning works for specific locations.
Rubis Mécénat continues its collaboration with the Saint-Eustache church and the Beaux-Arts de Paris by supporting a young artist from the school through production aid and an exhibition.
What language does to art.
The language acts in the work of David Douard as a material as such. By this means, he redefines a new social space, hybrid, in full mutation. By injecting the poems of anonymous people always marked by a form of chaos, deviance, disease or frustration, he recreates a contaminated environment in parallel to the real world, augmented by the fantasy of new digital technologies.
Loic Touzé is a dancer, choreographer and teacher.
With Je suis lent, Loïc Touzé tells his story with dance. The one he has lived through these last forty years. He evokes the inspiring figures that form the backdrop of his imagination.
This story begins in the temple of 19th century academicism alongside the ghosts of ballet. He then branched out onto the paths traced by the key figures of modernity and joined the champions of new dance in the mid-1980s. He later travels the conceptual paths that others have opened.
Ronan Bouroullec, a French designer born in Quimper in 1971, has been working with his brother Erwan since 1999. From industrial design to craftsmanship, from mass production to research, from objects to public spaces, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec's creations are spread across many fields of expression and have gradually become part of our daily lives.
During 3 days, the Open Studios are a unique opportunity for the general public and professionals to discover the young creation and the artistic diversity produced by the students of the Beaux-Arts de Paris.

Installations, paintings, photos, sculptures, videos will be on display; conferences, performances and music will punctuate this festive program.
