The cycles

For this new cycle of encounters, we invited artists and curators whose practices have a close connection with cinema and video art to share some of their major references and influences. Entitled La Toile, this program extends an attention that is dear to us: apprehending works through the constellations in which they are inscribed.

Art critic, essayist and teacher Jill Gasparina has conducted interviews about art for three years now. These interviews dwell on the career paths and backgrounds of the guest artists, focusing on their art practice, and notably attributing an important role to the material conditions of their work.

For several years now, we have chosen to assign our performance-based events programme to artists whose practice, mostly belonging to this field, also navigates within other disciplines. Following Julie Bena, Flora Bouteille, Pauline Ghersi, and Liv Schulman, Helena de Laurens and Lina Schlageter will now be joining us in 2025–2026.

Directly linked to our exhibitions, Programme Associé [Associated Programme] systematises encounters with artists and curators who, through their work, occupy our space for a given period. The precious words of those who are constructing our artistic line will therefore be the focus of a public discussion. Another event devised with these individuals will allow us to encounter the work from an unexpected angle: poetry, dance, music or any other form of artistic praxis possible.

Entrusted to the journalist and critic Julien Bécourt, the cycle <input> attempts to establish intergenerational junctions between the fields of visual arts, experimental music and pop culture...

Among the programs developed by the Pernod Ricard Foundation, the one devised by poetry writer and art teacher Jérôme Mauche proposed a formula: two or sometimes three guests would meet to talk about their practices together, even though they didn't seem to have any particular links...

Dedicated to social debates, the cycle “S'inspirer, respirer” (“Inspire, breathe”) conceived by journalist and author Jean-Marie Durand dwelt on the environmental, social, racial and democratic impasses, among others, around which our times are woven.

Conceived in collaboration with the online daily AOC, the cycle of encounters entitled “Dans la bibliothèque de” (In the library of) invited personalities from the world of culture and ideas to look back on the readings that forged them and continue to accompany them.
