An invitation from Viviane Zenner (Galerie des Jours de Lune) in partnership with the city of Metz.
An exceptional day to discover the School's emblematic sites on a guided or self-guided tour: Cour d'Honneur, Chapelle des Petits-Augustins, Cour du mûrier, Amphithéâtre d'Honneur and the Library.
This exhibition, open to the public until Friday, July 4, 2025, presents the works selected for the Bob Calle Prize for Artists' Books. The books will then be added to the Bibliothèque d'art contemporain's specialized collection of artists' books, where they will be available for consultation.
Gold occupies a singular place in the work of Daniel Schlier, a painter based in Strasbourg and professor at ENSBA in Paris. This “masterclass” gives him the opportunity to look back at certain uses of this metal in his creations and in contemporary practices. In dialogue with the room, it will also consider how the discovery of gold, its use on a variety of supports (wood, dibond, labradorite, marble, parchment) and its reception can be part of a long-term history of art, echoing the works of 16th-century German painters as well as those of Jacques Stella.
The studios are transformed into exhibition spaces, offering a panorama of work produced from the Via Ferrata preparatory class to the fifth year: paintings, photos, sculptures, drawings, videos, etc. Studio training is the hallmark of the Beaux-Arts de Paris, and each studio bears the name of the renowned artist in charge.

Tracing the careers of students at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Paris in the 19th and 20th centuries necessarily involves consulting numerous, scattered and partial archives. By publishing the Ecole des Beaux-Arts register (1813-1968) in digital format, Alice Thomine-Berrada, Déborah Laks, Lucie Lachenal and France Nerlich have confronted themselves with the arid data of administrative archives, far removed from the contrasting, lively, singular experience of those who, at some point in their youth, wished to commit themselves to the path of art.
Between free fiction and fragmentary documentary, the films presented explore contemporary uses of the image as a place of resistance, doubt and address. Borrowing from diaries, reportage, amateur cinema and found footage, they question our relationship to the visible, the archive and the narrative.
Their teachers, Götz Arndt and Fabrice Vannier, members of the Laboratoire matière espace, will present works by young artists who have dealt with this theme in various ways during their artistic interventions in the Louvre's Greek, Etruscan and Roman Department.
