The Théâtre de Gennevilliers is a starting point, a place for encounter. In this multidisciplinary cultural hub all forms of contemporary creation meet and mix: theatre, dance, performance, opera, film, music, the visual arts - but also writing and philosophy. The Théâtre produced the show "What Do You See?” for the FORCE DE L’ART 02 school group workshops; adapted by Pascal Rambert from a text by Marie-José Mondzain, the show will premiere simultaneously at the Grand Palais and at Gennevilliers.

The Eiffel Tower has always inspired artists. Writers, poets, painters, singers, photographers and filmmakers have all celebrated it with the full range of their talents. It is therefore natural that this bold and prestigious dream location lend its celebrated glitter to the creative interplay of visual artist Bertrand Lavier, a FORCE DE L’ART 02 “Visitor” artist.

The imposing former home to the kings of France, the Louvre Palace has gradually become the mythical Louvre Museum, today one of the world’s most important and visited museums. Since its creation it has embodied a universal vision of what a museum should be and has determinedly opened itself to contemporary art by maintaining a dialogue, an essential one, between masters of the past and artists of today. It is here that Gérard Collin Thiébaut will present his Transcriptions, puzzle-artworks linked to the most famous paintings in the museum's collection. For further information: The Visitors
The Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris/ARC is organizing a major exhibition – Dans l’oeil du critique, Bernard Lamarche-Vadel et les artistes - from 29 May to 6 September 2009. His critical sense, his flamboyant personality and his commitment to artists have all left their mark on the world of French art from the 1970s to today. Based on his writings which often spark a new way of seeing, the exhibition circuit relies on his most important exhibitions (Abstraction Analytique, Finir en Beauté, Qu'est-ce que l'Art Français?, Enfermement), his contemporary art magazine Artistes, his critiques and novels, audio excerpts of his conferences as well as archival documents, all set off against the artworks.

Jean Perrin founded the Palais de la Découverte in 1937 for the International Exhibition “Art and Technique in Modern Life”; at the time the west wing of the Grand Palais was set aside for this purpose. Although it was not intended to last, its success has made it a part of Paris’ heritage. In seeking to make science more accessible with a view to arousing curiosity and awakening of a critical outlook, it was a natural for receiving an installation by Annette Messager, which will send planets into orbit there.

Dreamed up by Arthur Meyer, it was Alfred Grévin and his wax statues which made it live in 1882. Its incontestable success turned it into a temple to glorious history, as well as the strange, the spectacular and the sensational. A mythical place of illusions, the Musée Grévin offers the public an incredible opportunity to “get close to” the well-known figures who made history or the celebrities who make today’s news. ORLAN will be the first contemporary artist to be present at the Grévin owing to the installation of one of her artworks there throughout the event. For further information: The Visitors
In the centre of Paris, the church of Saint-Eustache, built in 1532, is a Gothic jewel appreciated by many important figures in French history: Louis XIV, Richelieu, Molière and Mirabeau, to name just a few. Attached both to the spiritual life and to human solidarity and culture, it has participated actively in the Nuit Blanche all-night music festival, the Autumn Festival of Paris, as well as LA FORCE DE L’ART 02 event. It is at Saint-Eustache that Pierre and Gilles will create their first Virgin with Child for one of its large side chapels. For further information: The Visitors |
