WALKING TOURS AND ORAL TRANSMISSION WORKSHOPS

The new exhibition at the Cabinet des Dessins et Estampes - Jean Bonna in Beaux-Arts de Paris focuses on Michelangelo to explore the concepts of influence and transmission.

Michelangelo holds a special place in the pantheon of great artists: his work, unanimously admired and based on unprecedented originality, resists those who seek to find perfection in it.

The result of a series of discussions on the growing role of poetry in contemporary artistic practices, the exhibition Des mots et des mondes considers writing as a plastic material in its own right.

Faced with a constant flow of information, artists do not seek to say more, but to say things differently, through sensitive, unique and contextualised forms. Words then become vectors of personal or collective emancipation, embodied in assemblages, positionings, semantic shifts and resolutely poetic reconfigurations.

Felicità 2025 presents the 24 artists who obtained their diplôme national supérieur d'arts plastiques from Beaux-Arts de Paris with honors from the jury, chaired by Mathieu Kleyebe Abonnenc, curator of the exhibition.

The exhibition will close exceptionally at 5 p.m. on Saturday 31 January.

Around the exhibition Chère Melpomène

2 - 4 pm | Translation workshop
Translation workshop of stories in inclusive and post-binary writing with Léna Salabert Triby for “Pays de Glossolalie”.

“Chère Melpomène,
We call to you, the ancient muse of tragedy, who once reigned at the back of the Palais des Beaux-Arts. Once a towering statue, several meters high, you have now become a ruin. From the residue of your dust, we seel to transcend the archetype of the muse and evoke a fresh, nuanced breath, able to seep into the interstices of established orders. In between inspiration and expiration, between what is spoken and what remains silent, this breath embodies our deepest desire for social justice.”

This exhibition, dear to Beaux-Arts de Paris, where he had been teaching since 2015, presents to the public for the first time a substantial body of some fifty drawings, produced between 2006 and 2021.

L'art et la vie et inversement presents the 26 artists who received the Diplôme National Supérieur d'Arts Plastiques from Beaux-Arts de Paris with the Congratulations of the Jury in 2024.

Their works present a wide diversity of subjects, materials and intentions. The challenge of showing them together is to question what they express about a generation, and what they say about today's world.
