The Day I Became A Cloud | ESincompany Événement / Journées du Patrimoine

The Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris and the Max Ernst Museum Brühl have invited the Cologne-based choreographer Emanuele Soavi to develop a performance that relates to the museums’ collection spaces.

The new episode from the series SOLO LIKE A PIG is increasingly dedicated to the core theme that runs as a common thread through the series: "Surviving and remaining visible" – individually and collectively, as an artist and as a human being – even beyond one's own finiteness. In this process, remembering reveals itself to be a strategy for setting transformations in motion – and sharing experiences (physically) to be another.

AuTOIconstruction - performance by Abraham Cruzvillegas Événement

As part of the exhibition You. Œuvres de la collection Lafayette Anticipations.

AuTOIconstruction will be an evening of art and poetry, calling volunteers to read aloud all lyrics written by Abraham Cruzvillegas since 2008, while he constructs a sculpture made of materials collected in the museum, to be destroyed during the same event.

In his work, Abraham Cruzvillegas explores the economic dynamics of the temporary, the artisanal and the recycled. The artist uses production strategies that range from collecting to assembling, but also reinterpreting, materials.

Discover his work Self Constructed Upside Down Shelter (2017) in the exhibition  You. Œuvres de la collection Lafayette Anticipations.

Forgetting Jewellery Événement, Conférence / Colloque

Medusa, Jewellery and Taboos is a ground breaking trans-historical and trans-disciplinary exhibition. It chose to deconstruct the biases that define our perception of ornament as supposedly too feminine, too precious, too corporeal, and too primitive. Those four themes allowed us to explore jewellery in its relation to identity and the production of value(s), and to address the questions of jewellery’s autonomy and of the rituals that surround it.

Accusation solos Événement / Journées du Patrimoine

Accusation solos are structured around one performer and are based on material from the production Accusations, only unraveled and reassembled again. Significance, reflection, accusation or complaint. Succeeding or failing, grasping opportunities or passing on them, unrealized desires; each performer chooses his or her own perspective in a confrontational quest to find a better version of him- or herself.

Cinemam Événement / Cinéma

Diamonds are a girl's best friend - Marilyn Monroe

At the occasion of the exhibition Medusa, Bijoux and Tabous, we are pleased to invit you to the open-air screening of Howard Hawks' movie "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" in VOSTFR with Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe, in front of the museum.

This musical plunges us into the fantastic universe of two american showgirls and best friends with divergent characters: Lorelei Lee, who loves rich men and the word "diamond" and Dorothy Shaw, a young woman of character who loves honest men without wealth.

A projection that will make jewels shine on the big screen!

French Kiwi Juice - Showcase Événement / Concert

French Kiwi Juice aka FKJ, one of the emblematic artist of the Roche Music label, unveils his first eponymous album. For the occasion, he invites us to discorver his singular universe in the Fée Électricité room, a masterpiece by Raoul Dufy, for an unusual concert!

Tribute to his idols, affirmation of his musical maturity, FKJ creates titles inspired by black music, soul and jazz, with this electronic touch that makes his sound incomparable. A warm, reassuring and sensual universe.

The Franco-New Zealander releases an intimate and profound album, and makes music speak as a universal language.

Jazzmuziek Événement / Concert

I started to paint with big spatulas,

I was fighting with my paintings

Listening to jazz on the radio

At the beginning of the 70s, Karel Appel experimented New York lifestyle and like many artists before him, he enjoyed the American music and in particular jazz music.

Feeling anonymous in Manhattan, Appel took advantage of the street life, the frantic rhythms that were born there to tint his art of a concrete inspiration whose image remains explosive on his canvases.

On the occasion of the exhibition Karel Appel, L'art est une fête!, the Jazz department of Paris Conservatory, will present a very colorful and very festive concert thanks to the rhythms of the big band Jazz of Dizzy Gillespie and compositions by Line Kruse (under his direction) among others.

Futuring 1+1=1 Événement / Conférence thématique

EVA & ADELE are an atypical and emblematic couple of the contemporary art scene.

Their appearances are real performances, which every detail is studied and repeated. Their artistic production is based on the idea of permanent exchanges with the public, in a true symbiosis between art and mass culture, between public life and private sphere. During a meeting, in the presence of art critic Paul Ardenne and exhibition curator Julia Garimorth, EVA & ADELE will tell us more about their work and their person.

A talk not to be missed !*

* the talk will be in french.

Minimum Maximum Événement / Performance

Dance performance of italian choreographer Valeria Apiccela, in the exhibition Carl Andre: Sculpture as place, 1958-2010.

Minimum Maximum is a poem of Carl Andre.

Minimum maximum.

This opposition tells a delicate thing about Carl Andre's thoughts and work.

It reveals to us this paradox which echo our feelings and senses.

What our bodies are feeling when facing a work of art ?

Work in a different set of scales this physical experience.

Becoming a child.

Becoming gigantic.

Becoming a monument.

Becoming yourself, this touch all works of art call and prohibit at the same time.
