Répliques
"In the theatrical sense, a « Répliques » is at once an appropriation, an up-dating and a riposte.
Seven invited artists will play the game of replication and bring their contemporary response to the masterpieces of the Japanese collections of the Beaux-Arts de Paris, adding a few lines to the History of Japonism of which the School has been the theater.
Echoing a selection of 24 Japanese prints or accordion books chosen from the Tronquois collection of the Beaux-Arts de Paris, Laury Denoyes, Morgane Ely, Alice Narcy, Adoka Niitsu, Mariia Silchenko, Lucile Soussan and Alžbětka Wolfová respond with a contemporary work.
Based on an idea by Clélia Zernik, professor at the Beaux-Arts de Paris, with Anne-Marie Garcia, conservator, responsible for the collections of the Beaux-Arts de Paris, Rym Ferroukhi, Pétronille Mallié and Soukaïna Jamai, scenographers and Alice Narcy, curator in residence.
Masterpieces from Japanese collections: Katsushika Hokusai, Utagawa Hiroshige, Kunisada 1er, Egawa Tomekichi "*
