The Writer and his History

Using excerpts from film archives, writers discuss their work. They describe the way in which their century has been important to them and the extent to which their work has, or has not been, marked by the past one hundred years.

Five times a year, Responses and Objections will give the philosophising or non-philosophising public an overview of today's philosophical environment. This is neither a club nor a closed circle. It is even less an Areopagite Council, central committee or meeting of Parnassians. It is a living force, strong in the affinities which reflect all that the multifarious, overwhelming written word is likely, but not necessarily worthy, to arouse in the way of response or objection.

Genealogies and the History of Art
Tipi/Piazza
No admission charge.
Audience admitted as long as seats available

Under the title "Genealogies", the Spoken Reviews continue the cycle of discussions with international artists and, this year, a number of composers (as a result of a joint operation with IRCAM). The principle behind each session is to invite the artist to present one or more "aesthetic objects" that have played a decisive role in his or her development, the term "aesthetic objects" being taken in its widest possible sense and not necessarily as a reference to earlier works or sets of works. Through these "objects" each of the artists will describe the main triggers (references, models, in the negative or positive sense) of his or her own creativity.
The presentation will include, as a background, reminders of the most outstanding moments in the development of each of the artists with the aim of pinpointing his or her own "history of art" and his or her personal relationship with the question of artistic genealogies.

Set Square and Compass [L'Equerre et le Compas]
Tipi/Piazza
No admission charge.
Audience admitted as long as seats available

This regular meeting brings together professional people who indulge in free discussion of cultural productions relating to architecture and town planning. Such traditional controversy, which forms the basis of all criticism in cinema, theatre, music and the arts, does not seem to have any equivalent in the more rigid world of architecture.
Specialist reviews, read mainly by architects, are too often content to inform and promote. As to the general press, architecture has too small a place to arouse any serious disputes. By inviting critics to compare and contrast their points of view freely and openly, the" Set Square and Compass" evenings produce a veritable debate on current architecture in all its forms.

With: Franτois Chaslin, FrΘdΘric Edelmann, Jean-Claude Garcias, Jean-Pierre Le Dantec, GΘrard Monnier, Francis Rambert, Hubert Tonka and Philippe TrΘtiack.
