  • Art School in France, 28 Questions and Answers
    Ministry of Culture and Communication - Art schools in France - 28 Questions & Answers “For this cover, I focused on the very concrete aspect of the courses in the art schools. Students are given a chance to express their creativity through the use of many different materials, from the roughest to the most sensitive. These have their own way to exist all along the creative process, whether they are used, transformed or destroyed. For instance, the offset plaque shows a mark, that from paper goes back to paper. In the same way, serigraphy is a manual and subtle way to print, at the hour of mass printing.” This cover was realised by Jérémy Barrault, 2nd year student in graphic design at the École nationale des beaux-arts de Lyon. He won the 2011 contest organised by the Ministry of Culture and Communication. www.jeremybarrault.com Art schools and art degrees in France In France, 45 art schools deliver undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate diplomas after 3, 5 or 7 years, in art, design and communication, across 58 campuses, for a total of 11,000 students.

    Purple Magazine: 'Eric Troncy', interview by Olivier Zahm and portrait by Pierre Even, Issue 24, F/W 2015 Curating has become a serious discipline: it can be studied at art schools and universities. At the beginning of the ’90s, being a young curator meant nothing more than championing the new kind of artists that you believed in, according to your ability to detect and orchestrate ongoing changes in the chaotic postmodern world. ÉriC TronCy was the first curator of this changing ’90s art scene in France. More than two decades later, I consider him to be the best of my generation — a reference for what could be labeled a “curator-artist.” His curatorial concepts and choices are pushing the limits of how artworks can be presented, juxtaposed and connected — transforming a predictable group show into an artistic statement as well as a photogenic experience. He is also a strongly opinionated art critic and the editor of Frog, my favorite art magazine in France. interview by OLIVIER ZAHM portrait by PIERRE EVEN “The Shell (Landscapes, Portraits & Shapes),” a show curated olivier zahm — The first time I heard the name Éric Troncy was on by ric troncy at Almine Rech Gallery, Paris, January - February, 2014, the occasion of an exhibition in Geneva, “French Kiss.” People all around me in photo Olivier Zahm the milieu of young artists and critics in Paris were talking about it. ric troncy — It was really the first group exhibition to bear julian schnabel, The Day I Missed, 1990, oil and gesso on tarpaulin, my name. copyright Julian Schnabel richard phillips, Adriana II, 2012, oil on canvas, copyright Richard olivier zahm — How did your engagement with contemporary art begin?

  • Franz West Artist Biography
    FRANZ WEST | ARTIST BIOGRAPHY FRANZ WEST ARTIST BIOGRAPHY Franz West was born in Austria in 1947 and died in his native country in 2012. He studied at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Vienna and became a sculptor and installation artist, part of the Actionist and Performance Art Mouvement in the sixties and seventies. BEAKING THE RULES The sculptures known as ‘Adaptives’, began in the seventies and are considered his first significant works as humorously indeterminate objects. They are both artful sculptures and tactile gadgets, with their artistic function considered completed only once viewers have interacted with it. It is to say they needed to be touched, hold, worn or played with. With this unique approach he is one of the first artists to break the established codes between the artworks and the spectator. West, whose Art was influenced by his interest in psychoanalytic texts, describes his ‘Adaptives’ as prostheses, a term that alludes to their incomplete status as well as their connection to the body. Since then, he deeply explored sculpture in all its aspects, but mostly the communication created, all the actions and the reactions they can provoke to its audience members. FROM INTERACTION TO FURNITURE West garnered attention from the larger public in the mid-eighties, when he began producing furniture. He often crafted chairs and couches by welding together pieces of scrap metal, a technique that reflects his interest in collage. Additionally, West creates colorful, upholstered furniture. West’s works have been exhibited throughout the world for more than 30 years and at a variety of venues, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Whitechapel Gallery in London, the Kunsthalle Wien in Vienna, the Gagosian Gallery in New York, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Museo Tamayo in Mexico.

  • Sensory Experience in the World of Steph Cop and Christian Sinicropi at Restaurant La Palme D'or
    SENSORY EXPERIENCE IN THE WORLD OF STEPH COP AND CHRISTIAN SINICROPI AT RESTAURANT LA PALME D'OR It's in the mythical Hotel Martinez, on the Croisette in Cannes, that an exclusive collaboration between the artist Steph Cop, Chef Christian Sinicropi from " La Palme d'Or** " and his wife Catherine Sinicropi is coming from April 7 to June 27, 2020. @Bálint Pörneczi An exclusive sensory experience at the Hôtel Martinez Steph Cop and C&C Sinicropi Christian Sinicropi, the 2 Michelin-starred Chef of La Palme d’Or at the Hôtel creation. His culinary compositions are veritable pictorial works, presented on plate collections collaboratively fashioned by his wife, ceramicist Catherine Sinicropi, especially for these epicurean inventions. This original cuisine, at once instinctive and cerebral and inspired by the ingredient’s memorial history, is a multisensory experience: The flavors and aromatic notes blend into an olfactory construction and unfurl like a musical score; the chromatic arrangements on the handcrafted plates, coupled with textural relief, create powerful taste dynamics. Inspiration is also mined in meetings with contemporary artists, who are invited to take part in seasonal collaborations. Christian and Catherine Sinicropi are unshakably committed to celebrating art in all its dimensions. The chef, the ceramist, and the guest artist pool their imaginative powers and intertwine their creative techniques to produce inimitable gastronomic aesthetics. In spring 2020, from April 7 to June 27, La Palme d´Or restaurant, with two Michelin stars, presents an extraordinary experience for the senses featuring the work of artist Steph Cop. When these three worlds intentionally collided, the intensity of the encounter shaped and stabilized the position of each in an atypical exploration of possibilities.
