Rentrée – Opening night

Tonight, we present our two new exhibitions of the season :

Un jeune homme s'habille sur une plage à Nice et autres images by photographer Samuel Laurence Cunnane. Guided tour in French, at 6pm.

Amitiés littéraires: florilège de la Bibliothèque littéraire Jacques Doucet in the Old Library. This exhibition features a selection of archives relating to four great Irish figures who left their mark on Parisian artistic and intellectual life: James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, Francis Bacon and Oscar Wilde.

Our artists in residence, painter Atsushi Kaga and architects Dean Black and James Martin, open their studios to the public.

The film “D A N S E (S)” will be shown on a loop. This FICEP initiative brings together nine short dance clips from Denmark, Estonia, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Quebec, Taiwan and Ukraine. Representing Ireland, Rising Voices was filmed and choreographed by Alexandre Iseli and Derek Pedros, in collaboration with Rocío Dominguez and dancers Lauren McGonagle, Anja Nicholson and Ben Sullivan.

The Médiathèque is open all evening.
