Narrating the invisible and the living

Alice Pallot and Clara Bouveresse examine the medium of photography, the links between art and science, new representations of the living, the materiality of the non-visible, experimental degradation processes, representations of the near future, and the need to rethink our interactions with the environment in a damaged world.

Hosted by Estelle Zhong Mengual as part of the “Inhabiting the landscape: artistic practices of hospitality for the living” chair.

Sara Favriau is first and foremost a sculptor: a hut, a pirogue, a bow, a tree... are elements that form part of her formal and conceptual vocabulary, and carry their own dramaturgy.

The artist questions both the work and its ecosystem, its circularity like a pirogue-tree that crosses a sea to find a forest. She summons up forms, symbols and processes of a popular nature and transposes them. Wood is one of her favorite materials, whether considered on a macro or micro scale. 

In the studio. The imaginary world of Creation

This conference explores the symbolic and social function of the Atelier in the imagination and creative process of artists. Wide-angle, interdisciplinary and transnational, it examines the anthropological, philosophical, aesthetic and cultural fundamentals of the Studio over the long term (second nineteenth-early twenty-first centuries), in order to grasp the realia of a matrix structure as the imaging ego of artists at work.

Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, curator of the Arte Povera exhibition at the Bourse de Commerce and an internationally-recognized specialist in Arte Povera, talks to Giuseppe Penone, a major figure in this artistic movement and studio director at the Beaux-Arts de Paris between 1997 and 2012, about the artist's seminal gestures and the genesis of the exhibition.

Although performance art has become an essential part of contemporary art, books devoted to it in French are still rare. In (Non) Performance: A Daily Practice, Julie Pellegrin explores the political effects of performance through conversations with nine artists from diverse backgrounds.

The Reg-Arts database aims to contribute to the renewal of the history of the Beaux-Arts de Paris, which has recently benefited from the development of studies devoted to the history of the teaching of artistic creation and developments in art history research.
