The cycles
Every Wednesday, the Auditorium of the Fondation Pernod Ricard hosts a new debate organised by our programmers. This key fixture has contributed to building the Fondation’s identity for many years now: generous, openminded about art and social concerns, it responds in a timely manner to the evolution of some of the sensibilities that are shaping our present.
Entretiens sur l’art
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.
< input >
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...
Paris Performances
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. After Julie Bena and Flora Bouteille, who have respectively explored the language prior to performative production and experimented with audience engagement in collaborative productions, it is now Pauline Ghersi and Liv Schulman who will guide us.
Programme Associé
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.
Poésie Plateforme
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...
S'inspirer, respirer
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.
Dans la bibliothèque de
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.
