Locus sonus

Locus Sonus is a 3rd cycle of the research type, specializing in audio creation research.
It unfolds in the form of a one-year session validated by a certificate of 3rd cycle of research in sound art (BAC+6). Locus Sonus is a research cycle common to the Higher School of Art of Aix en Provence and the National Higher School of Art of Bourges. On the horizon of this art orientated 3rd cycle is the opening up of cycles of art research programmes with a view to establishing the specific nature of art education.
The human and technical resources of both schools are pooled within the framework of a convention which permits both the optimum circulation and development of the initiatives of Locus Sonus concerning the DNSEP curriculum, and the basis for a cycle of research in art. The three axes of research in the programme are currently determined on the basis of three vectors (approach, collective, network), mixing two fields of practice and research (Audio and Spaces, Audio and Networks).

E-Topie (E-Topia)

E-Topia is a programme of thinking, exchange, experimentation and creation, a platform which has been structured progressively since 2010 and we would like it to be operational at the beginning of the 2013/2014 school year. It is equally a space for collaboration between different partners with complementary activities which allows this platform to be deployed both in and outside the school in different forms. E-topia is spread over five principal programmes: FRONTIERS of the 21st Century, MENTION A/RT, OBS’IN, LOCUS SONUS, DOCTORAT DE CREATION.

Locus Sonus – audio in art

Locus Sonus is a post graduate research laboratory in art, shared between the Higher School of Art of Aix en Provence and the National Higher School of Art of Bourges. It provides structure for the 3rd cycle of the E-topia programme, in particular through the CNRS/MCC framework agreement which has permitted cooperation with the MMSH and the IMéRA since 2007 on a local and international level.
This innovative and experimental project in the field of audio art is run in collaboration by the teachers Jérôme Joy (ENSA Bourges) and Peter Sinclair (ESA Aix en Provence). Its objective is to experiment with innovative and trans-disciplinary aspects of forms and artistic sound practices with regard to issues of spaces and networks. It exists in part to fulfill the mission of creating a corpus of knowledge and a critical space concerning practices in sound art which are currently in a period of evolution. The principal implementation of the laboratory concerns the transport of sounds (and atmospheres) giving rise to the construction of approaches to streaming and flow (live transmission of sound via internet) and to sensorial and experimental environments, playing with the interweaving of places and distances and the resulting modifications of perception that they generate.
The project welcomes a small number of postmasters researcher-artists who constitute, along with the permanent members, the research team. The artists develop projects which fall somewhere between their own concerns and those of the laboratory. Locus Sonus regularly publishes texts in international science publications and proposes a cycle of symposiums, workshops and pedagogical activities for schools each year.

Doctorate in creation

On the request of its rapporteur, Jean-Raymond Fanlohe, the ESAAix has documented the creation of a new “Practice and Study of Artistic and Literary Creation” doctorate, adopted by the scientific council of the AMU (the University of Aix Marseille). The modes of accompanying questions of methodology concerning this new path for the thesis in addition to questions of co-direction are ongoing.
The ENSP of Arles also participates.

Frontiers of the 21st Century

Frontiers of the 21st Century is a trans-disciplinary and exploratory research programme by Cédric Parizot and was launched in September of 2011 in the IMéRA. Associating the ESAAix from the beginning, it brings together researchers from the social and natural sciences, artists and professionals (customs officers, industrialists…) to rethink the mutations of systems of control on state borders and their impact on spaces and populations.
Operating a real decompartmentalization between different fields, it constitutes a major tool for structuring the e-topia arts/sciences/technologies platform for research and creation, allowing for the modeling of the question of research in the ESAAix in a multidisciplinary convergence. The overlapping of approaches allows for experimentation of proto-form models of art/science/technology research and the invention of new forms of production pertaining to questions of edition and exhibition.

Mention A/RT

The A/rt mention, attached to the DNSEP art option, will be proposed to 2nd cycle students at the beginning of the first semester of 2013/2014. In this way, a student’s journey within the art option which has characterized an aspect of our teaching for a number of years, will be made explicit. This path requires the structuring of this platform in which it participates as a space for training and experimentation, while not excluding the other studios in the school. Transversality is at the very heart of our pedagogical practices.

Obs’in

Founder of the Obs/in, the Observatory for creative practices in digital imagery, with the National Higher School of Photography and the IUT of Digital Imagery (AMU-Arles), the specific contribution of the school is linked to the interwoven relationship between art, science and technology that the school has developed over a number of years, and more specifically in the permanent Art Temps Réel studio established in 2010.

The research platform of the TALM Esba – the Angers site

Seven research programmes exist and together make up a collaborative research platform whose structure relies both on a Research Unit dealing with independent programmes, and a functional coordination. Two types of programme are developed within this platform: Those considered as long term and which structure both research and third cycle and initial training, and those considered as short term, lasting between 18 and 24 months.
The research unit groups together long term programmes. Its operation is ensured by a research co-ordinator whose mission answers to different demands: accompanying the administrative staff and the monitoring of calls for project, valorization, articulation with the 3rd cycle and international development. Both physical and functional, this platform is adapted to research in an art school as the transfer of an art practice is different to that of knowledge and the form and temporality of these programmes can vary according to the needs and the options from which they emerge. Essentially the work emanating from the programmes and the research unit is addressed to different professional creative milieus including that of art, which is central. The modes of dissemination that are exhibition, display, demonstration, projection etc… are formally the consequence of the object of research underlying the conditions of social existence of an artistic practice and the issues to be shared.

The Scientific Council
The development of research is accompanied by a Scientific Council which is an advisory body to the establishment. It is composed of teachers who support research programmes, qualified participants, the coordinators and directors of sites. Its advisory and expert mission applies to initial courses, post graduate courses, 3rd cycles and their respective development, research and its strategic development. Its advice is submitted to the Pedagogical Council for Student Affairs (CPVE) and then debated. They can be validated by the Governing Board before being submitted to a Management Board if necessary.

In Translation

Director of research: Sébastien PLUOT
Associated Teachers:
TALM ESBA: Fabien Vallos, Jacqui Riva & Goeffrey Lowe.
Barnard College, University of Columbia : Peter Tracey Connor, Brian O’Keffee

This research programme has the goal of developing the deepening of theoretical knowledge of the phenomena and procedures of translation in the arts which engage a range of issues connected to linguistic theory, technology, psychoanalysis, theories of esthetics (the relationships between the arts and the rapport with the oeuvre, its interpretation, its understanding). Research takes into account the phenomena of translation in all of their dimensions: inter-linguistic (from one language to another), intra-linguistic (metaphor, metonym, allegory) and inter-semiotic (from one medium to another). Historical and theoretical research is envisaged in the permanent articulation between curatorial practices of production of oeuvres and publications. This programme has produced a series of exhibition projects, conferences and symposiums: Living Archives, Louie Louie and Art by Telephone Recalled.

In Translation has become an international research programme which is developed from a partnership between the Angers site of the TALM Esba, the San Francisco Art Institute the Cneai of Chatou and the « Barnard Translation Center » department of Barnard College, Columbia University, New York. Many other participants in the project intervene during seminars, exhibitions and publications: Mel Bochner, Artist ; Pierre Bal Blanc, Curator and critic ; Corinne Diserens, Art Historian and exhibition curator ; Silvia Kolbowski, Artist ; Nicolas Knight, Artist ; Ben Kinmont, Artist, Marcella Lista, Art Historian ; Pierre Leguillon, Artist ; Fabrice Reymond, Artist ; Julia Robinson, Art Historian, Professor at NYU ; Coline Sunier & Charles Mazé, Graphic Designers ; Avital Ronell, Professor of comparative literature at New York University and the European Graduate School, Switzerland ; Yann Sérandour, artist ; Raphael Zarka, artist.

Low, fictions and strategies of less in design and architecture

Reference teachers: Catherine Geel, David Enon, Pascal Riffaud and Denis Brillet (Block)
Partners : Sandberg Instituut, Amsterdam, Gili Eco Trust, S.A.R.A (Angers Regional Management Company).

At the end of two years the research proposes the first theoretical and visual responses to a group of terms corresponding to strategies of little (poverty, absence, void, lack, deprivation, austerity, simplicity, exhaustion, weak, diffused, fragile), to its fictions (a category of modern belief versus the postmodern critical tool) and their relationships with the visual writings of design, architecture and art. Two case studies (urban fabric and auto administrated territory) allow the envisaging of different aspects of the techniques employed today, as much on the level of territorial practice of expertise, visual production (domestic and in the environment) and the integration of systems (energetic, ecological, cultural and administrative) as on the meaning of these gestures at the heart of a cultural industry constantly in demand.

Publication: Low, fictions and strategies of little vol. 1 gathers study texts, interventions made by lecturers and the work of students (state of art), the acts of the “Design Poverty Fiction” festival organized at Hornu (Art Center – Belgium – March 2013) by the Design option (Arc BNC) Talm EPCC of Angers, the Dirty Art Department (Sandberg Instituut) and the Object Design department (Arts Déco – Paris), as well as a work of analysis and exhibition “Architectural Prospectives” done within the design department of Angers (November 2012 – October 2013). It is presented as a state of the art and elements used in research.

Public classes:
Classes and workshops are designed to answer to the expectations of an amateur audience.
They take place in the evening or during the day and last for two or three hours. Voyages are occasionally organized for visits to exhibitions and meetings with artists.

– Visual Arts workshops (9-14 years)
– Preparatory drawing classes (15 – 20 years)
– Multimedia (15 – 20 years)
– Drawing, sketching (18 years and +)
– Drawing and painting (18 years and +)
– Painting (18 years and +)
– History of Art (18 years and +)
– Modeling, volume, sculpture (18 years and +)
– Engraving (18 years and +)

+ information

The TALM Esba expands its international scope each year by developing numerous partnerships with foreign art schools and establishments.
The establishment itself offers a number of possibilities for study abroad. The exchange programmes are part of the standard student curriculum and are mainly geared towards fourth year students. A period of study in a foreign school demands that the student present the outline of their personal project to other teachers, other pedagogical and cultural milieus. The three school sites have signed bilateral Erasmus conventions for the mobility of their students and teachers and also maintain privileged partnerships with institutions located outside of Europe.

Master’s in comic art (with the University of Poitiers)

Diplôme Supérieur de Recherche en Art (DSRA) – Document and contemporary art

Founded in 2010 at the initiative of the European School of Visual Arts, the post-graduate program, Document & contemporary art, became a degree-granting research program in 2014, awarding a PhD-level DSRA (Diplôme Supérieur de Recherche en Art), in partnership with the École nationale supérieure d’art de Bourges. This experimental research program places equal emphasis on collective and individual research agendas.
The program is open to young art or film practitioners, curators and theorists seeking to prolong their studies through a three-year, doctoral-level program, irrespective of media or technique. Participants are expected to follow the program’s collective activities and to undertake individual research integrating artistic production and theoretical reflexion. Individual research projects must be validated by a committee made up of the academic advisory team and an external assessor at the end of the first year. Successful completion of the three-year program enables participants to obtain a PhD-level Degree in artistic research (DSRA).
The program is by nature nomadic, displacement being a conscious methodological choice. Its activities are condensed into once-monthly meetings of one week, held in different cities (Paris, Buenos Aires, Bourges, Poitiers, Angoulême, Belgrade…). For these meetings, the program functions as a seminar, inviting artists, theorists, curators, activists, etc. Participants are required to attend the collective research seminars and to engage in a regular writing practice in the form of reports and correspondence. An annual publication provides an account of the program’s activities by bringing together writing and other work from the participating artists and invited guests.
The program recruits internationally. Principal working languages are English, French and Spanish.

Doctorat de création Expression artistique et littéraire spécialité bande dessinée

Practice-based PhD Artistic and literary expression in comic art

Resulting from a partnership between the University of Poitiers and the European School of Visual Arts, the practice-based PhD Artistic and literary expression in comic art is open to all candidates with a Master’s degree / DNSEP from higher education institutions, whose subject is based both on a strong artistic practice in the field of comic art, narrative drawing (or any experimental form in this field) and theoretical research. The thesis, prepared at the University of Poitiers and the ÉESI (based on the existing partnership at the Master’s in comic art level), is subject to the methodological and quantitative requirements of a doctorate but supplemented by elements that attest to an artistic practice-based research.

ILES, Images Liquides : Écritures et Systèmes

The research-creation programme in Comic art Liquid Images: Scriptures and Systems (ILES) addresses the field of contemporary comic art through the prism of visual arts. The contemporary comic art, hybrid in essence, involves a transdisciplinary, aesthetic, poetic, plastic, philosophical, cognitive, anthropological approach. The seminar ILES is open to doctoral students in comic art, artists and writers related to the programme and to graduate students at the ÉESI.

Cahiers du Post-diplôme “Contemporary Art and the Document”: each year, in the context of the post graduate programme, a group of documents relating to various research is published in the form of a review. Artists and the year’s guests (artists, producers, curators, theoreticians) from the programme participate in the publication.

Lectures, conferences, study trips, exhibitions and workshops.
The school took pride of place in the 2011 Rencontres Henri Langlois, Poitiers.
Participation in a number of festivals.
Regular interaction with the FRAC of the Poitou-Charentes region, the theaters of Angoulême and Poitiers (national stages), the Museum Council of Nouvelle-Aquitaine, the National Conservatory of the region, Conferences with the Universities of Poitier and La Rochelle, exhibitions and prizes as part of the International Festival of Comic Strip art (Angoulême), relationships with the Maison des auteurs (Angoulême) and the Espace Mendès-France and the Confort moderne (Poitiers).
Various research and creative projects through conventions with different French and foreign institutions (including the scientific council of the European Commission’s Visual Arts Delegation).

Postgraduate research-creation residencies

In the context of the professionalisation of students, the ÉESI wished to open art residencies abroad to the graduates of June 2018.The implementation of a research-creation scholarship programme within the ÉESI is the result of a common finding in the major French art schools, namely the difficulty that most young artists have to develop their creative work, to show their work to the public and more broadly to get in contact with art professionals. For this first edition, three destinations have been selected thus giving the opportunity to three selected graduates, one by destination, to experience a first art residency abroad for a duration of 3 months in Fall 2018. The residencies were chosen for the quality of their activities and their location in line with the artistic orientations of the ÉESI:

– La Cúpula, multidisciplinary art center in Mérida, Mexico, in partnership with the Yucatán School of Fine Arts (ESAY)
– InterAccess, non-profit gallery, educationalfacility, production studio, and festival dedicated to emerging practices in art and technology located in Toronto, Canada
– Can Serrat, artistic residency in El Bruc, Catalonia, which brings togetheran international community of visual artists, writers and musicians who share,mix, coexist and create in a common space.

International openness is one of the priorities of the school strategy. Mobility is a flagship project which is developed in the long term and tends to structure pedagogy more and more.

This international openness, based on the evaluation of existing partnerships as well as on the prospection of new exchange partners, makes it possible to send students, teachers and non-teaching staff abroad and, conversely, to welcome students and art professionals within the school.

“Scenes of excellence” are favored for all these exchanges. Indeed, according to each practice taught at the school, there are reference places most often located in cities with a particularly dynamic artistic scene.

As part of their Master’s programme, all fourth-year students are going abroad for a semester. Their destination is chosen based on the criteria stated above and according to their personal projects.

The school keeps abreast of the state of creation on the different continents, currently with a predominance of Europe, North America and Asia.

New partnerships are being established with structures located in South America (Argentina, Mexico, etc.) and on the African continent (Senegal in particular).

DSRA Higher qualification in art research of the ESAAA

The DSRA is an atypical third cycle (BAC+8), bringing young artists, designers, architects and other creators as well as theoreticians to a school qualification prepared over three years after a Masters or DNSEP qualification.

The ESAAA research unit

Since 2006, the ESAAA has supported the work of a team of artists, philosophers, designers, architects and historians who work together within its Research Unit. This collaborative research activity with its variable geometry, which relies on a number of different national and international networks, has allowed the following actions to be carried out:

– From 2006 to 2012 work on experimentation and the archive, and in turn on performance and the “format” with the LAAC, first under Laurent Jeanpierre and Elie During, then under Thierry Mouillé and David Zerbib, resulting in Experimenta (in Annecy in 2008), and Format X (at the 104 in Paris in 2010), publishing In Actu, de l’experimental dans l’art, in 2009 with the Presses du réel, and, with the same editor, In Octavo, des formats de l’art (to be published).
– From 2009 to 2011: a programme led by Nicolas Thély worked on the changes in sensitivity in the age of the Web 2.0: this “lo fidelity research path” resulted in study days in Grenoble, Valance and Quimper, and allowed the organization of different exhibitions (such as “Best Practices” in Stockholm in 2011) concluding with the publication of Search Terms, Basse def by B42 éditions.
– From 2010 to 2011: a third axis of research led by Stéphane Sauzedde developed a sensitive and critical apparatus starting with ahistorical and localized forms of art: “la pensée sauvage” (wild thought). This research led to the AUTRES exhibition and catalogue in the Musée-Château of Annecy (June 2012).

Finally, since 2011, the ESAA has done work on “Los Angeles: the margins at the center”, dealing with amateur practices and cinema (Pratiques domestiques) and on intuition (Le laboratoire des intuitions). (Cf. Ongoing research programme).

PhD IN CREATION

The ENSP has offered the “Practice and theory of artistic and literary creation” PhD since 2013, in conjunction with Aix-Marseille University (AMU). This multidisciplinary project aims to allow PhD students to develop a research project in photography and to combine theoretical and epistemological reflection with their artistic practice.

The PhD is taught at the ENSP and at AMU over 3 years. During the thesis period, PhD students with a photography specialty are co-supervised by an artistic director and by an academic director, professor of rank A, holder of the ‘Competence to direct research’ (HDR) attached to one of the eight research units of AMU (ED 354).

Candidates must have held a Master 2 diploma (or the equivalent) for more than two years and be able to demonstrate research ability in their previous work. Overseas candidates must provide a certificate of competency in the French language at C1 level (issued by an appropriate French institution or cultural centre).
During the research period, the PhD student is autonomous in the conduct of his/her/their research but is in regular contact with his/her/their co-supervisors. He/she/they are also involved in the research activities of their co-supervisors and benefit from the resources and equipment available at the ENSP.

PhD supervision includes 6 doctoral seminars per year for which the guests are chosen by the PhD students and the teaching team according to their research work and centres of interest. PhD students have had the opportunity to present their work to personalities with varied experiences and practices, such as Arnaud Claass and Marielle Macé in 2021, Max Pinckers, Arno Gisinger, Véra Léon, Nathalie Voarino and Alexis Guiller in 2020.

Mentorship Programme

Edition 2021 | Archive and image review

With 40 years of experience in education in image making and theory, the École nationale supérieure de la photographie in the heart of Arles, the emblematic French city of photography, is launching its first international mentorship programme.

The programme is aimed at artist photographers with a professional practice, consolidated over several years, wishing to benefit from in-depth support for their artistic approach.

Starting from a review of your professional career and your artistic practice, you will be guided in giving a new direction to your creative projects, to look at them with a critical eye, to develop their implementation, and to strengthen your technical skills and your knowledge of the world of art and photography.

This individual and group work is led by Gilles Saussier, artist photographer and teacher at the ENSP, with the support of various guests throughout the programme.

This first edition, which will be held in French and English from the 13th of September to the 26th of November 2021, will be punctuated by two Masterclasses led respectively by Susan Meiselas and Pierre Leguillon.

The theme of the 2021 Mentorship programme is Archive and image review.

Throughout the mentorship you will also have access to all of the school’s equipment and activities: digital and film laboratories, computer graphics, audiovisual and editing facilities, photographic studios, the Fablab, the library (with more than 30,000 references), conferences, talks etc.

The École nationale supérieure de la photographie has been able to offer the acquisition of the school diploma, a Master’s degree award, through a process of validation of prior experience (VAE) since 2007 when it established its own examination and validation centre.

The VAE validates the achievements of salaried, self-employed and/or voluntary professional experience with a view to acquiring a diploma, a professional certificate or a qualification from a list drawn up by the national joint employment commission of a professional branch, registered in the national directory of professional certifications (RNCP).

The VAE is thus a means of acquiring a certification in the same way as school and university paths, apprenticeships and further professional training. It has the same status as other methods of testing knowledge, skills and competences.

For almost 40 years, the École nationale supérieure de la photographie (ENSP), a public institution under the supervision of the Ministry of Culture and Communication, has been providing high-level teaching to train photographers, video artists and, more generally, image professionals.

The ENSP opened a continuing education centre in 2007 in order to offer training sessions to professionals in the image industry, artists and photography enthusiasts.

The teaching programme is based on a precise and complete apprenticeship in contemporary photography, combining technical rigour and theoretical reflection, in accordance with what has characterised the ENSP since its origin.

The ENSP offers both face-to-face and distance learning courses:
› short courses
› long courses, including 3 certifications and a thematic cycle without certification
› a VAE
› a mentorship programme
› tailor-made training for companies

The ENSP’s continuing education team is at your disposal to help you build your training and professionalization path.

An education in images cannot be limited to just one country or culture.

Partnerships with art and photography schools all over the world and international exchanges are part of the richness of the school’s life and represent a real opportunity for its students.

The ENSP offers a range of international training opportunities. It strongly encourages the mobility of students and teachers as well as the development of artistic and educational projects within the framework of its privileged relations with international partners.

In addition, the ENSP regularly welcomes speakers and foreign students as part of its Masters, Formation continue and Doctoral programmes, helping to enrich its educational provision and intercultural exchanges within the school.

The Infra-mince review has been questioning images and thinking around images since 2005. Published by the École nationale supérieure de la photographie and Actes Sud (numbers 1 to 10) then with Filigranes éditions, the journal is constructed around research dossiers offering a space for reflection on the different forms that photography can take. Theoretical texts respond to sets of images. Portfolios developed by artists and photographers sit alongside the work and research of students and former students of the ENSP.

Inframince is available from different art and culture publishing distribution sites and to order from Filigranes Éditions.

Social Contract

The Besançon/Franche-Comté Higher Institute of Fine Arts has chosen to concentrate its research on three main axes : The Body of the artist, Social Contract and Print. Each one of these axes has its initial grounding in the pedagogical initiatives of the artist teachers and theoreticians of the ISBA in close collaboration with a number of research laboratories within French and foreign universities, in addition to collaborations with other art schools and various institutions. This thinking is the subject of dialogues initiated and led during workshops for creation and research, conferences and other workshops in addition to seminars, study days, publications and exhibitions.

Social Contract
An intentional reference to Rousseau, the Social Contract research programme questions the engagement of the artist, and of the artist as citizen. It finds its roots in the economic, social and cultural history of the town of Besançon. The social utopia, fruit of the thinking of Charles Fourier and Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, both born in Besançon, is the well that this story has continued to draw from, with the memory of its working class being particularly impacted. From the strikes in the Rhodicéta factory in 1967 to the Lip affair in 1973 and the experiments in self-management of the company which followed, emancipation and self representation were some the true issues from which the Medvedkine was born. This history, with its international appeal encourages us today to question the place of the artist in society, his/her reception and his/her positions and attitudes faced with today’s world, his/her relationship with work and the new forms which can result from it.
The Social Contract section does its research in dialogue with different partners, the CIMEOS laboratory of the University of Bourgogne, that of Art&Flux of the University of Paris 1 – Panthéon-Sorbonne, the La Cambre Higher School of Visual Art in Brussels (Belgium), the National Institute of Fine Arts of Tétouan, the Tangiers Cinematheque (Morocco) and the Saline Royal among others.

Scientific managers:
Stéphanie Jamet-Chavigny (Doctor, Professor of history and art theory at the ISBA, collaborating member of the André Chastel Center, Paris-IV-Sorbonne University), Matthieu Laurette (Artist, Art/Multimedia teacher at the ISBA), Gilles Picouet (Artist, Volume teacher at the ISBA), Philippe Terrier-Hermann (Artist teacher at the ISBA and at the ENSAV of La Cambre).

Partnerships:
The La Cambre Higher School of Visual Arts in Brussels, the Art&Flux laboratory in the CERAP laboratory, University of Paris 1 – Panthéon-Sorbonne, the Franche-Comté Frac, the Tétouan National Institute for Fine Arts (Morocco), the La Cambre Higher School of Visual Art in Brussels (Belgium), the CIMEOS laboratory in semiology in the University of Bourgogne, Saline Royal of Arc-et-Senans.

The body of the Artist

The Besançon/Franche-Comté Higher Institute of Fine Arts has chosen to concentrate its research on three main axes : The Body of the artist, Social Contract and Print. Each one of these axes has its initial grounding in the pedagogical initiatives of the artist teachers and theoreticians of the ISBA in close collaboration with a number of research laboratories within French and foreign universities, in addition to collaborations with other art schools and various institutions. This thinking is the subject of dialogues initiated and led during workshops for creation and research, conferences and other workshops in addition to seminars, study days, publications and exhibitions.

The Body of the Artist
The Performance & Action Art field of experimentation has existed since 2009 and is made up of a research programme entitled Le Corps de l’artiste (The Body of the artist). This system is part of an international network of institutions – whose main partners are the Fine Arts faculty of the Valencia Polytechnic University, the faculty of Fine Arts of Athens – and is part of the working dynamic of a group of artists and researchers from a number of countries. The physical presence of the artist and his/her corporal engagement in the creation, is the subject of our questions, ones that focus on the essential issues in the fields of performance, action art, interaction with poetic zones and newer critical systems; performance art comes from the corporalized practices of the 1960s, inherited from the historical Avant gardes. Through the study of the implementation of exploratory and experimental propositions the idea is to build innovative research paths within the The Body of the Artist section, within a new epistemology that establishes contemporary research in the arts and the sciences.

The school is open to adults, in the form of non-degree students, who wish to improve their artistic, theoretical and practical knowledge, without the objective of a certification/ qualification. The programme proposed within as a free time activity, takes place over four years. It aims to present a general view of contemporary visual practices completed by a historical approach. The classes are organized during the day and in the evening, from October to June. The objective is to work with all of the professors of the teaching system in place with a rhythm of three classes per week. Each non-degree student participates in an admission interview and an assessment at the end of each year. Registration is possible from the open day for non-degree students (June) onwards.

The school encourages, within the framework of the curriculum, study trips, internships and stays abroad.
International internships encourage familiarity with profession milieus and their modes of production, in addition to the acquisition of specific know-how. Grants covering one semester are available to fourth year students, allowing them to participate in international internships or study in partner art schools.
For a number of years and on an international level, the EBABX has made a vast and ambitious cultural investment. Beyond classic student exchanges which follow a specific teaching programme offered by partner schools (by way of the Crepuq and Erasmus programmes), the school is particularly interested in developing overlapping experiences with certain foreign partner schools (Politecnico, Milan – the Marchons Marchons workshop, 2012 and VINI VINDI VINCI, 2013, the Academy of Cracow, California Institute of the Arts, EINA Barcelona, etc.).

Laborintus – Post graduate course in sound practices

Since 2000, the ENSA of Bourges has introduced a workshop dedicated to sound practices which continues to evolve thanks to a reinforcing of the teaching staff, equipment and an informal but strong relationship between the school and the electro acoustic music class of the music conservatory of the town of Bourges.
The innovative nature of this project results in an overlapping of electronic music practices and sound practices. The idea is to create passages between electronic music and the inventive nature of sound practice, to create encounters between students coming from different backgrounds, and to avail of this twin approach so as to favor creation. The creation of the post graduate course arrives as a logical follow up to this accumulation of skills and practices which induce the development of research blending electronic musical practices and sound practices.
The objectives of the post graduate programme are to:
– deepen the artist’s and/or musician’s technical and artistic training with a multidisciplinary training;
– place creation at the heart of the overlap of musical and sound practices;
– engage transversal research around sound and contemporary forms;
– ensure the dissemination of the year’s creation in the context of a public demonstration.

CÉPIA Center for Studies

This training is inscribed within the general policy of the Minister of Culture and Communication, a policy which aims to favor the widest possible access to artistic and cultural practices. Its objective is to provide complementary training to visual artists engaged in a professional activity. This training is founded on the acquisition of didactical skills and capacity for thought, applied to contemporary creation. It is not teaching in the classical sense of the term (an objectified transmission of a general skill-set) but rather prepares students to intervene on the basis of a unique practical experience, with diverse audiences: school and extracurricular contexts, cultural services, associative spaces, hospital and prison settings.
This training is based on a twin approach: theoretical and methodology teaching and an implementation of an intervention submitted to regular analysis all throughout the training period.

Japonologies

Research is structured and developed notably by the opening in 2013 of 7 lines of research covering a wide spectrum of accessible themes beginning in fourth year. Under the title “lines of research” thematic programmes of work are gathered. These programmes mobilize partners belonging to the domain of research in an institutional fashion. Conceived to be developed over a period of two to three years, the lines of research for the vast majority, were recognized by their peers through specific financing such as that coming form Labex (Laboratories of excellence) or the commission for research of the Minister of Culture. Work done by students and researchers is subject to restituted in multiple forms (seminars, publishing of acts, exhibitions, productions…). Graduate students are also involved along with doctoral students of the associated scientific partners.
Led by Corinne Le Neün, the “Japonologies” conference welcomes researchers and doctoral students from the Research Unit of the National Institute of Oriental Languages and Civilizations: Center for Japanese studies directed by Professor Michael Lucken. This partnership is defined within the framework of a signed two year convention between the school and the CEJ.

A lecture cycle, seminars and study and research days, exhibitions in the Ygrec gallery and beyond the walls…

Neither gallery nor art center the Ygrec positions itself as a possible third way dedicated to questioning and reinventing art practice. A permanent structure for the production and distribution of contemporary art, Ygrec accompanies emerging creation and develops audacious artistic projects. It is as much a place that exhibits productions, as a collective work space that makes them happen. It adapts and transforms according to the projects that it hosts: exhibition, performance, concert, projection, launching of publications…
A toolbox for the teachers and students participating in and initiating its activities, YGREC wishes to be a space for meetings and exchanges. The link between an artistic and pedagogical practice where one is re-imagined by the other.

Sound, new/no media, video, photography, computing, computer design (digital plateaus) and publishing, wood/metal workshop, screen-printing, print.
Dance and cinema studios.

ésam Caen/Cherbourg preparatory class

In October of 2012/2013, ésam Caen/Cherbourg opened a public preparatory class with the intention of preparing students for entrance competitions to French Higher Art Schools, the first of its kind in the Northwest of France. This preparatory class has a central aim: to create the conditions for successful entry to French Higher Schools of Art. Teaching is ensured by visual artists and theoreticians from the school. It is a pedagogical space which welcomes students aged between 17 and 25, who have passed their baccalauréat and functions in quite intensive conditions. The preparatory class of ésam Caen/Cherbourg allows the students to confirm their choice, to comprehend the issues around education in a school of art and gain access to higher education through different forms of experimentation, thinking and confrontation. The students engaged in the curriculum commit to passing four entrance exams to optimize their chances of success.

The Art and Water laboratory

The Art and Water laboratory associates skills in scientific research and skills in art research for the implementation of projects which touch upon the numerous relationships that exist between art and water. Located in a phase of structure and growth, the laboratory is developed around a collective project that affirms the identity of an original intellectual production, at the intersection of knowledge and creation. The work is forcibly interdisciplinary, and is in constant contact with the contemporary issues of creation, in direct connection with the socioeconomic and cultural realities of art, in the immediate environment of the oeuvres and the process of conception.
The investigations are organized on the basis of three strategic orientations where each one has the vocation of hosting a number of research projects. The first axis of research concerns the relationships between art and water when they enter into resonance with territory and landscapes. The second research is in the intellectual issues of creation linked to water as matter and material. The third axis of research materializes on the terrain of the relationships that art and water have with movement and mobility. Of differing scales, structures and natures, the projects of the Laboratory of art and water take place within this tripartite organization. The Musée éclaté de la presqu’île of Caen project is located on the “Territory/Landscapes” axis.

Catalogues, artists’ books, artists’ writings.

School Cooperative / 3rd cycle

The Research Cooperative is the platform from which the ESACM’s research activities are organised. Every year it welcomes resident researchers selected by invitation to apply, who are looking to explore or deepen an aspect of their own research. It also hosts the 3rd cycle for student researchers, who are also selected by invitation to apply. By promoting exchanges between invited researchers, teachers and students, the Cooperative plays a part in nourishing the ESACM’s research areas and programmes, in close collaboration with research teams.

Preparatory lessons and training

To prepare for entrance exams for the Écoles Supérieures d’Art and for compiling their own project dossier, the ESACM invites pupils to attend preparatory lessons during the school year (Saturday afternoons from October to May) or intensive training (2 dates announced in the spring).
Information and registration form available at www.esacm.fr

Research programs

Researchers can either join existing programs and projects in the Coopérative de recherche, or initiate new areas of research. A research program is a group made up of teachers, researchers and students, gathered around a common theme or field. Appropriating critical methodologies sourced from sciences, humanities, cinema, literature, and artistic practice, we make consistent attempts to question our references and reshape our forms of knowledge. By exploring various milieus such as the Mediterranean and Central Europe, Sub-Saharan Africa, or the American Midwest, the research, carried out through the programs of the Coopérative de recherche, address matters of migration and exile, identities labelling, cultural interaction, and economic or political means of resistance.

Ongoing programs in 2020-2021 :

– “Leviathan”
Created in 2016 by Cédric Loire, art historian and teacher at ÉSACM, and Sarah Ritter, artist, the “Leviathan” group also includes the artists Antoine Barrot, Kostia Jopeck and Charlie Jeffery, and has involved MA students between 2016 to 2018.
The research is based on shared readings of Herman Melville’s novel, Moby-Dick, or the Whale (1851), related to contemporary milieus — mainly the city of Detroit, which the group has visited several times. Leviathan deals with violence and capitalism, with the forms of resistance that oppose them, and with the possibilities of narrating the world we live in. Study days and seminars will be held in the coming year (2020-2021) while work continues of the finalisation of an editorial project drawing together the research of the last few years.

– “Des Exils”
The research group is led by Michèle Martel, art historian and Jan Kopp, artist, both teachers at ÉSACM, the artists and researchers Fabrice Gallis, Mélis Tezkan, Kostia Jopeck, Jérôme de Vienne, and master students. It has its origins in a seminar organized in 2017 about what forced or voluntary displacements do to forms.
The working group creates situations of exchange based on collective readings, interviews with interlocutors from the art world, by organizing readings and performances in the school and by repeating gestures and actions produced by others.

– “Figures de transition”
Based on the renewed interest in contemporary African art, from Clermont-Ferrand and in connection with Cotonou and Ouagadougou, “Figures of Transition” questions exhibitions and historical reverberations that shape the way we look at art and its figures. Working in Clermont-Ferrand and linked to art protagonists in Cotonou and Ougadougou, this research group is led by the artist Jacques Malgorn, critique and ÉSACM’s philosophy professor J. Emil Sennewald, artists Camille Varenne and Enrico Floriddia. It has been created in close cooperation with film curator and independent critique Clémentine Dramani Issifou and scenographer Dao Sada and develops its projects through frequent invitations of afro-european art-activists. This group is the outcome of a three-day long symposium, which took place in the ÉSACM under the title “surexpositions” in 2018. Today, the main activity of “Figures de transition” is the edition of the sequential publication “Epokä”. We are open to welcome new researches willing to widen, to shift, to question our intentions and objectives.


Past research programs :
“Collages en France” (2012-2013) ; “Robinson/Vendredi – Exploring Robinson” (2013-2017) ; “Le parti pris de l’expérience ; Marfa” (2012-2014) ; “L’intercalaire” (2014-2016) ; “Un film infini (le travail)” (2014 – 2020).

Publications and DVDs giving account of research (films, seminars and study days, restitution of research projects, etc.) and exhibitions (graduates from the ESCAM, exhibitions in the Grand Atelier, etc.).

Exhibitions, seminars and study days, conferences, study trips.

Adult classes.
Public projections and conferences (artists, philosophers, art historians, etc.).

The ESCAM is part of the ERASMUS Charter and partner to a number of higher education establishments in Belgium (Brussels), the Czech Republic (Ostrava), England (Oxford), Italy (Brescia), Germany (Regensburg), Greece (Salonica), Poland (Katowice), Portugal (Porto), Scotland (Aberdeen), Slovenia (Ljubljana), Spain (Biblao, Madrid) and Turkey (Istanbul, Isparta). It is also partner to higher education establishments in Canada (Montreal), USA (Norman) and Peru (Lima).
In the context of linguistic training, the school prepares students for a Degree in Language skills (DCL). Indexed on the grid of the Common European Reference Framework for languages, it displays a level of mastery of the english language. The idea is to favor student mobility, already strongly encouraged by conventions with foreign establishments, and to allow for a better integration into professional life.
Projects of an international dimension are also done in the context of pedagogy and research in the ESACM (research programmes at Marfa – USA – and in Benin, Landscape ARC in Benin and Istanbul, etc.).

The Grand Atelier – school gallery

Students work in group workshops which promote discussion and ongoing work in the school. They also have access to areas for experimenting with spatial installation of their research and work, and workshops associated with specific techniques and tools, including a photographic laboratory, print room, sculpture workshop, carpentry, printed art workshops, video and sound studios.

The school also has a Fablab – manufacturing laboratory – for developing practices and artistic projects, open to students from the school and to the general public. The ProtoLab is a place for sharing, discussing and experimenting, and has a 3D printer, a laser cutter and engraver, a Kinect, a cutting plotter, an embroidery machine, electronic and robotic equipment etc.

The school provides students with the main tools and consumables required for inductions and work carried out in the main artistic disciplines, so they can borrow cameras, use photographic apparatus and premises, recorders etc. to achieve their projects.

//SPECIALISATION IN ART

The Art department accompanies young practitioners throughout their academic experience. Throughout the 5 years of study, they should develop a personal project of art research.

During the first two years, classes focus on essential practices (including drawing, sculpture, installation, sound, performance, image and video). The artists teaching at ENSA provide an interdisciplinary education which seeks to go beyond categories and disciplines so that each student can develop an original and independent project. The aim is to allow students to shape a complex artistic idea which they then implement.

In this sense, the school is a place of resource, experimentation and exchange where knowledge and practice are transmitted and where the student experiences are constructed in common. The wealth of these cultural perspectives affords our school’s graduates multiple professional choices. Students have access to a wide choice of traditional working techniques (such as wood, earth, metal, resin, thermoforming), in addition to the most recent technological resources (like graphic design, 3D, video, sound) and to a theoretical support to frame their contemporary knowledge in historical and multi-disciplinary perspectives. Throughout their studies, students are invited to events outside the school walls letting them be confronted with the reality of collective shows, an introduction to cross-disciplinary projects, to writing critical texts, to visiting construction sites, to encounters with visiting professionals, researchers or residents coming from a scientific background or some other realm. This exposure to diverse experiences makes this specialisation fertile ground for wide-ranging artistic practices.

ENSA Dijon likewise offers greater openness to the outside world, in particular the international stage thanks to its residency programmes and internships covering the USA to China without forgetting the African continent. Internationally renowned artists are increasingly invited by the school to offer students their unique testimony on the diversity of art scenes around the world.

SPECIALISATION IN DESIGN

Art & Society Research Unit (RU)

Created in collaboration with the Maison des Sciences de l’Homme (MSH) at the University of Burgundy, the research unit (RU) ‘Art & Society’ organises all research activities within ENSA Dijon.

With the centres of Pedagogy, Student Life and International Relations, it supplies the support, be it human, material, financial, technical, or institutional, that allows for putting into place research and works towards sharing, valuing and recognising research that takes place in art and design at the heart of the school.

Its members include all of the school’s teachers–artists, designers and theoreticians–who are engaged in research activities in parallel with their teaching duties and their individual and independent professional, artistic, design and theoretical practices. Research thus reflects the artistic media (design, drawing, painting, performance, photography, sound, video, volume, etc.) and forms of knowledge (art history, philosophy, aesthetics, cultural theory) practiced in the school.

Research in art schools: invention, experimentation, sharing

Although art and science–whether human and social sciences, formal sciences (logic, mathematics) and natural sciences (physics, biology, etc.) or engineering sciences–differ in their internal criteria and their own aims, they have never been alien to each other. Research is consubstantial with them, and both constitute activities that are based on the logic of experimentation and invention.

In the course of their history, art and science (and technology) have never ceased to be challenged or even provoked by each other: from geometry, physics or the theory of emotions, yesterday, to contemporary epistemologies stemming from environmental sciences (ecology), digital technologies and their anthropological stakes, such as those of gender studies and postcolonial approaches to theories of culture and domination.

Because the questioning of the forms of restitution of research belongs to the very process of research, and while today, in the scientific world, new forms of approaches and restitution of research are emerging (practice-based-research, etc.), the Research Unit “Research on the environment” is also concerned with the questioning of the forms of restitution of research. While relying on the established academic forms of sharing research results (colloquia, publications), the “Art and Society” Research Unit initiates, encourages and accompanies the invention of new, often hybrid, forms specific to art school research: exhibitions, devices, collective works, etc.

RESEARCH STRUCTURE

The research at the core of the research unit Art & Society is organised around two structural themes, transversal and multi-disciplinary. These axes, which are not mutually exclusive, allow for the identification the domains in which members of the RU situate their research activity.

Axis 1 – Materials,

mediA, intermedialities

This axis questions the relations of media to their own specificity (procedures, methods, histories) and their own identity, as well as to the types of alterities that question them (hybrid forms and translatability of languages; relation of learned forms / popular forms, new technologies; relation of art / culture; autonomy and heteronomy of art; questions around exhibitions).

Axis 2 – Crises,

contexts, combats

This axis addresses the question of art and design in light of their relations with knowledge and power, in as much as they interrogate practices and presentations of visibility and invisibility, eventually generators of violence. In that respect, artistic and design practices cross-reference forms of knowledge and militant practices (ecology, feminism). Hence this particular insistence on the question of inclusion, of place (urban spaces, rural worlds, the margins, migrations), and their contrary (non-places, uprooting etc).

At the core of both axes can be organised one-off events (publication, conferences, exhibition) or even research programmes on a larger scale.

Urban Mutations

Headed by: Laurent Matras, Hélène Robert, Leila Toussaint
Linked with: ARC MUUR – Research & Creation Workshop Urban Mutations (headed by Laurent Matras, Hélène Robert, Leila Toussaint)

The transdisciplinary research programme Urban Mutations is an extension of the Bachelor and Masters teaching delivered by the ENSA Dijon Design Option team (studio projects, classes, ARC, workshops). It brings together designers, architects, scenographers, landscape designers, artists and theoricians with all areas mixed up in communal space of thought and imagination, of proposition and urban experimentation strongly rooted in the ecological, political and social realities of cities in the anthropocene age.

Currently humanity is affected by an ecological crisis – pollution, dwindling natural resources, the destruction of ecosystems, the disappearance of biodiversity, climatic warming and disruption, proliferation of extreme episodes of drought and heatwaves – along with the economic, social and political consequences. These force us to radically rethink not only modes of production and consumption but also our way of living and especially living in a city, namely to produce and consume space and time. It questions our use of space and our daily choreographies.

Cities, particularly vulnerable to the effects of environmental crisis, are partly responsible for it. It means that cities can also be the place for local solutions to this global problem.

Design, for a long time confined to the sphere of marketing, today constitutes a collective open to thought, practices and mechanisms at the intersection of research and creation, working, with the same sensory perception (affordance), on the representations and uses of our environment, like vectors to transform urban space.

To think about and know a city as a completely separate ecosystem, to take care of the plant and animal biodiversity it shelters, to promote urban agriculture aimed at alimentary autonomy without endangering the environment, and more globally rethinking the relations between city/nature, that implies also thinking about the activities and socio-economic temporalities of a city. Like slow cities which are spreading all over the world, cities should also incorporate soft mobility (bicycles) and non-carbon ways of moving whose current growth is revealing.

Eco-design thinks about the environmental impact of the materials and forms it implements, extolling low-tech and DIY, self-help and reuse, in inspiring vernacular practices. This relation to the work of the material sustains a relation to space by its investment of zones left vacant or without quality by modernisation or economic crisis: industrial wastelands and urban interstices can be places of transitory urbanism where can be experimented other manners of living collectively in the city, and a parking lot or frontage becomes through a micro-intervention (urban acupuncture) spaces of urban tactics like so many gestures – light and joyous, temporary and festive –aiming to reconquer the streets.

Faced with the tendency to standardisation, functional uniformity, social homogeneity and in the end to the sterilisation of public privatised spaces increasingly devoted to commerce and to consumption under CCTV, it is necessary to imagine inventive forms to live in the city that are likely to revitalise it.

In addition, everywhere can be heard, increasingly loudly, the hopes of city dwellers for a renewed urban democracy – a right to the city – in which citizens, either with collaboration or participation, become actively implicated in projects implemented by private and/or public actors, concerning their living space, be it a street, place, neighbourhood, living place, or even a place which has not been assigned a function in advance and which is reinvented according to use.

The idea of a desirable city – where the notion of pleasure is not annexed to consumerism – because to be equal (open to all) requires in effect to take into account diversity and the unforeseeable uses and users, be it by age, gender or social and cultural origin. New urban design practices are nourished thus by the input of contemporary critical theories (feminist theories and gender criticism, post-colonial theories, care theories). The Urban Mutations programme follows in the wake of numerous multidisciplinary collectives reuniting urbanists, videomakers, designers, architects, philosophers, scenographers, sociologists and landscape architect (Bellastock, EXYZT, le Bruit du frigo, Encore heureux) with whom they will regularly work.

Experimentation in situ, workshops, conferences, publications – including original translations of inescapable Anglo-Saxon authors – will make up the research activities of this programme.

To de-focus the viewpoint and deepen the explorations, the Urban Mutations programme draws on the partnership between ENSA Dijon and the School of Art and Design of the Technical University of Hubei in Wuhan, China, by putting in place cross-worshops.

Programme Nouveaux Commanditaires

Headed by: Mari Linnman and Pierre Marsaa, la Société des Nouveaux commanditaires
Co-headed by: two “historic” mediators of la Société de Nouveaux Commanditaires, this  research axis aims to experiment  with the process of unique mediation that Nouveaux Commanditaires protocol set in operation

How to support citizens, committed and confronted with social issues or developing a territory, by involving artists and researchers in their thinking?

Through the implementation of a series of situations (what is often called workshops or collaborative working), we seek to define the procedures at work: How is a focus group formed? How does it work? How does it make decisions, who should be met to share its preoccupations, its knowledge? What link does this group have with authority, history, legitimacy, money, or art?

These situations unite researchers, artists, students, teachers, mediators and representatives from civic society. In the image of a NC group and thanks to its homogenous character, it is a question of inventing circumstances that will allow members to work together, on equal footing.

These situations will be arranged throughout the year around topics which will be debated together, in the framework of a mediation office formed at the year’s start.

Painting and Colour

Headed by: Alain Bourgeois, Anne Brégeaut, Bruno Rousselot
Linked ARC: Contemporary Painting Practices (Alain Bourgeois, Anne Brégeaut & Bruno Rousselot)

Starting out as a drawing school, ENSA Dijon has developed at its core a research programme centred on current painting practices.

This programme follows in the wake of teaching delivered to Bachelor and Masters students (theory and workshops, ARC and workshops). It draws on the spaces and structures that the school have devoted to painting and colour: The Painting Workshop, the European Colour Observatory (ECO), which maps the relation between scientific theory of colour and contemporary artistic practices.

Closely linking historical review, theoretical expression and experimental practice, the activities of the research programme “Painting and Colour” is open and multi-form: invitations of international artists in the presence of one of their works (Olivier Mosset, Pierre Mabille, Eva Nielsen, Philippe Mayaux and Yan-Pei Ming), talks and theory classes on the historical and current context of painting (Michèle Martel and Bernard Marcadé), workshops with invited artists (Amélie Bertrand, Christopher Cuzin or Elodie Boutry), student exhibitions in professional art venues.

The International : At the heart of Ensa’s strategy

At ENSA Dijon, the international inhabits every aspect of the life of this school. Far from being simply a topic in itself, it is rather a way of being, of thinking and of approaching the world and our professions. This approach can be found as much in our regular curriculum as in the internships carried out in the 4th year, workshops, Research and Creation workshops, and particularly in the residence programmes and preparation for professional life that ENSA has proposed to our recent artist graduates since 2015.

International study

ENSA Dijon prioritizes foreign travel by encouraging its students to go abroad during their studies and by welcoming foreign students each year. Furthermore, many foreign visitors (artists and professionals) have been invited to participate in research at ENSA as part of the Research and Creation workshops, workshops, talks and study days all thanks to the Art & Society Research Unit. Study trips abroad have also been scheduled, as well as residency programmes and preparation for professional life that the school offers to recent graduates.

STUDY ABROAD AND INTERNSHIP

Our students have the possibility of experiencing another country in the first semester of the 4th year, either :

By studying for a semester in Europe with Erasmus+ or further afield
Or by completing a professional internship (in museums, galleries, artists’ studios), which students are assisted in finding.

WHAT ABOUT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE?

The Erasmus+ grant (semester in the EU) : approx. €250/month
Dynastage and Aquisis grants from the Burgundy-Franche-Comté Region : approx. €250/month
ENSA grant (semester outside the EU) : approx. €500/month
International Mobility grant from the Ministry of Culture (if receiving a univeristy study grant from the Ministry of Culture according to social need) : approx. €400/month
Students receiving financial assistance based on social need set by CROUS can continue to receive it during their stay abroad.

MOBILITY COMMITTEE

During the first semester of the 4th year, all students must complete a study period at a school or university abroad, or an internship in a company or with an artist in France or abroad.  With this in mind, third year students should present a coherent mobility project to the mobility committee for examination.  This committee is generally made up of the third year coordinator, the head of international relations and a language teacher.

Each student must appear before the mobility committee regardless of the nature of their project. Their presence does not result in a mark or the granting of credits. Each student is allocated 15 minutes to present their study project abroad or internship in France or abroad.

The student must give the mobility committee a 15-page dossier (in French and English) of their project including: an outline of the project and motivation behind the choice of destination, school or company (approx. 1 page);
a portfolio of their current work and main references (approx. 10 pages); a curriculum vitae (approx. 1 page);
The committee will study the presented project (desired destination, school or company) and approve or otherwise the mobility project. The committee will examine the presented project for the purpose of allocating mobility grants, in particular the Erasmus+ grant, in view of the global amount attributed to ENSA Dijon by the European agency.

Furthermore, ENSA Dijon would like to draw the students’ attention to languages and in particular certain foreign institutions requiring a B2 level of a foreign language, certified by a linguistic test (IELTS, TOEIC or TOEFL for English).

Obtaining Credits

It is compulsory for all students who spend a semester as part of the Erasmus+ scheme to validate their ECTS credits within the host institute.  On their return they must hand in documentation showing proof of these ECTS credits to the Secretary of Pedagogy in order to validate their semester.

Upon their arrival at ENSA Dijon, foreign students are expected to complete a study contract stipulating the courses they will take during the semester (up to 30 credits).  They can choose from among the different technical and practical workshops and classes offered by the school.  This contract will be the basis for drawing up their individual evaluation sheet.  They will sit an end-of-semester evaluation to validate their ECTS credits.  A document providing proof of these credits will be issued to them in order to validate their semester with their home school.

Cooperation AGREEMENTs

PROFESSIONAL OPPORTUNITIES ABROAD

Upon receiving their Masters Degree (DNSEP), young artists and designers, who recently graduated, are eligible to apply for one of the programmes of international residency and exhibition created by ENSA Dijon, right from the beginning of their professional life.  These programmes aim to develop their professional networks and help them start their careers under the best conditions.

Art Option DIJON/SAO PAULO (BRAZIL)

Since 2018, students currently in their 5th year and DNSEP level 1-2-3 at ENSA Dijon, as well as those from the School of Communication and Art (ECA) of the University of Sao Paulo (USP) have been invited to apply for this programme, which offers:

4-6 week residence in Sao Paulo and an exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MAC) of the University of Sao Paolo for the French awardee; 4-6 week residence in Dijon and an exhibition in a Dijon museum for the Brazilian awardee.
The School of Communication and Art (ECA) of the University of Sao Paulo (USP) and ENSA Dijon will each select their candidate. An internal jury, presided over by the Director, will choose the successful French candidate.

The chosen artist will receive a €3000 grant from ENSA to cover the cost of the flight, accommodation and food. The young artist chosen in Brazil is subject to the same conditions.

To be selected, the candidates will respond to the call for applications (February-March) by sending a CV, an outline of intention specifying their motivation for this residence, and a book presenting their work in English and French.

CITE INTERNATIONAL DES ARTS RESIDENCY

In 2020, ENSA Dijon clinched a partnership with the Cité international des arts to offer a residency programme for one young artist at the Cité International des arts. Young artists having receiving their Masters (DNSEP) and students currently in DNSEP level 1-2-3 at ENSA Dijon are eligible to apply for this programme, which offers the awardee a 2-month residency (lodging and workshop) at the Cité international des arts.

The Grenoble -Valence ÉSAD regularly publishes artists’ books, catalogues, CD Roms…

The Grenoble ÉSAD organizes workshops with guest artists, critics, writers and designers in addition to study trips in France and abroad. It regularly programmes seminars, lectures and presentations of work of all types (exhibitions, performances, concerts, projections,…) and actively collaborates with the cultural structures of the Grenoble conglomeration and its region in the organization of events. These events, whose initial purpose is one of pedagogy, are opportunities to further anchor the school in the professional network of contemporary art and to open it out to the population of the City of Grenoble and the region.
The Grenoble -Valence ÉSAD is part of the network formed by the four higher schools of art in the Rhone-Alpes region. In this capacity it favors inter-school pedagogical projects and the professional insertion of its graduates

Classes for children, adolescents and adults: an introduction to visual arts, drawing, painting, sculpture, engraving, watercolor, illustration, photography, volume-installation, history of art.

In the framework of the organization of studies, the eighth semester is dedicated to international mobility. Each student is invited to travel abroad and face the demands of the world through either a study trip, or an internship in a professional structure.
The Grenoble ÉSAD participates in the ERASMUS programme. Numerous partnerships with international higher educational establishments have been set up. Financial support is provided to students through different grants and scholarships: Erasmus, Explo’ra sup from the Rhone-Alpes region and OFAJ -the Franco-German youth office.
Certain of the Grenoble -Valence ÉSAD partner establishments: University of the arts, Central St Martin, London; Kingston University—Kingston upon Thames; LUCA—School of Arts, Gand ; ERG/School of Graphic Research, Brussels ; The National Higher School of Visual Arts of la Cambre , Brussels ; Muthesius Kunsthochschule, Kiel ; Stuttgart State Academy of Art and Design ; Weissensee Berlin ; HEAD – Higher School of Art and Design, Geneva ; National University of Arts, Bucharest ; Facultad de Bellas Artes de Valencia (Polytechnic University) ; Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology, Bangalore ; Concordia University, Montreal ; PUC Campinas, Brazil.

ESADHaR Research Laboratory

The school’s research unit is developing a number of programmes.

Edgar : Exposer le Design Graphique, Actes & Recherches

«Une saison graphique (A Graphic Season)» is an event bringing together exhibitions of the work of Graphic Designers in different places in the city of Havre. It seemed opportune to create a research group combining a number of teachers from the ESADHaR and the founding partners of the event. There are a number of objectives: to provoke and fuel contemporary graphic creation and accompany the invited graphic designers in the conception of their exhibitions, but also to question the practice of the graphic design exhibition, participating in an inventory of its current state, putting in place the intellectual and logistical tools that provide for its particular nature and considering the place of the city of Havre in he creation of these systems.

Édith – Edith researches, Edith publishes, Edith exhibits

Edith is a research laboratory set up by the ESADHaR in collaboration with the Cneai (The National Centre of Publishing and the Printed Arts) and the Haute Alsace University, Mulhouse. The team is made up of 13 artist researchers, graphic designers, art historians, a graphic design historian, a librarian, exhibition curators and screen-printers. Around fifteen older students also contribute to the Édith laboratory.
The purpose of the research is related to published works of art. Édith develops an inventory of publications by artists and graphic designers from the eighties to the present day. Geographically speaking, Édith pursues its research in Europe as well as in other countries, with specific and exemplary practices, by following a number of routes as opposed to territories. Step by step, Édith draws a path, modeled on the trade routes of the eighteenth century, elaborating a true atlas, with the goal of identifying different editorial forms of publications of authors.
From the start, the laboratory has closely associated theoretical and artistic research – a research that is as much on art as it is by art – this being considered as a fundamental specificity of a laboratory set up in an art school.

Idea – Interactivity, Design & Art

The programme has the goal of establishing a collection of works that focus on the specific question of using and learning digital tools for creation: programmed, generated, interactive graphic design, digital installations, online publications.

Le cabinet des écarts singuliers (The Cabinet of Singular Differences)

Since the end of the sixties contemporary art has seen the development of artistic attitudes looking to distance themselves from traditional spaces for creation and display. Working “beyond the walls” of the studio and the gallery, artists have experimented with the real through practices known as “contextual” and “on site”. The laboratory operates in the same vein, seeking to question the role of the on-site in current creation, to understand how this practice is evolving and the interactions that operate between the site, the work of art and the people connected to the sites.
The context of the Havre is particularly rich when it comes to urban change, historical trauma, specific geographical (the Seine estuary) and economic (the uninterrupted development of the port and its surroundings throughout the centuries, population movements) traits lend themselves perfectly to this research.
A number of axes of work are in operation within the laboratory: the wasteland and its industrial landscapes, Art/Nature/Heritage, art and its mediation.

Réseau DELAPEINTURE (The DELAPEINTURE network)

This research, centered on the contemporary issues and practices of painting, carried out by the Grenoble-Valence ESAD, was put together in 2010 with a 16 member research team; today, a dozen research and teaching organizations (1) in France and abroad continue to contribute to the development of this project, around the three initial issues:
– Painting: an object for considering the world. How does painting participate in the production of new codes, new specific models that take their place in our relationship with the contemporary world? In the tumult of pictorial practices and the connection with other art practices, what are the forms, processes and materials that painters use in the their current practice?
– Spaces and contexts of painting today. This second issue concerns the articulation between forms and context, and the strategies of painters in spaces of presentation and exhibition. It also questions the capacity of painting to continue the debate around the place of the spectator, starting from its inherent conditions.
– Local, global – the territories of painting. This issue questions the territory of painting on at least two levels; on a global level that is expressed in the constant flow of exchange, images and cultures; and on a local level which can be seen as much in the training provided by schools as in artistic circles. What is the role of artists, of their grouping in local scenes in a globalized context?

Publications and catalogues connected to exhibitions, events and productions of the ARCs and pedagogical workshops.
The proceedings of seminars and lectures, artist books, catalogues, booklets, artist publications (prints).

Exhibitions, seminars and lectures, workshops, conferences, Cinema club.

Wednesday classes and postschool classes
Introductory courses to visual arts for children, teenagers and adults
An introductory cycle – preparation for art school entry exams

– Participation in the Socrates programme.
– Partnerships with schools in Great Britain (Norwich); Belgium (Amsterdam); Italy (Palermo) ; Greece; Iceland ; Germany (Karsruhe)

– The franco-german OFAJ-Office youth grants and grants from the Higher-Normandy Region.
– Cooperation with the Bamako Conservatory for the Arts and multimedia professions, Mali. Cooperation with the Eurasia University of Xi’an, China.
– Study trips to Greece, New York, London Venice and Berlin and exchanges with Hunter College, City University of New York (Artist residencies).
– Co-operation with the Eurasia University of Xi’an, China.

Grande Image

Originating in experiences with contemporary art practices, a preoccupation with the urban, art on the scale of the landscape, a thinking on the context of art, a pedagogical idea within an art school along with a favorable urban context and strong partners, Grande Image is a project that has, over three years joined together questions and committed partners. The development of Grande Image has led to the formation of a network of contacts and of a working group that has since been built in a more formal manner, bringing together participants, as much in artistic practice as in theoretical thinking on art, the image and the city.
Carried by the higher school of fine arts, Grande image has enlarged its scope of action to other partners in France and abroad. Its development, as much on a theoretical level as in the production of experiences and artistic works required the setting up of a structured and coordinated research programme. This programme completes and enriches the territory of work developed within the school to join with a thinking on the status of the image in contemporary art, on the relationships between art and the urban context, between art and specific technologies, particularly digital, and deepening the view of contemporary productions that bring the whole of these questions into play.

Synthetic

The Synthetic research programme aims to question the impact of computationalism on modes of production and of work in our technological societies, specifically in the domains of art, design and architecture. This impact is especially comprehensible as a climate of radical, theoretical and practical innovation, in all domains where the computational mode provokes a convergence of knowledge (symbolic, calculative and experimental). Synthetic thus proposes gathering together different actors (academic, scientific and industrial) and envisages production in the context of design and architecture from the angle of automation, vision of computers, advanced materials and the cognitive sciences.
One of the major objectives of the programme is to dissolve the idealism that too often governs research in the domain of the digital, that accompanies the banal fascination with the technical element transported outside of its usual field and because of this can not consider the true consequences issued from a generalized use of calculators on the shaping of knowledge, on the conditions of production and on the creation of value. It is from a realist point of view that finds it impossible to exclude the challenge of technological determinism, that Synthetic attempts, through collective experiences such as workshops, seminars, experimental platforms for creation and the making of prototypes, to perceive the concrete effects of the computer on forms (objects, environment and symbolic), on work and its organization and on the costs of fabrication.
Synthetic is open and collaborative in nature, in a context where culture, technology, work and politics are linked by way of the computer.

Proceedings of seminars, artists’ books, leaflets for exhibitions.

Exhibitions: 3 or 4 per year. Study days in the framework of the Carrefours de la Pensée, Forum Le Monde-Le Mans, in collaboration with Le Monde diplomatique. Concerts, sonic poetry evenings. Projections of experimental cinema at Beaubourg hors les murs.
Workshops: artist residencies, invited guests
Trips to Paris, the region and abroad (Venice Biennial, Documenta in Kassel, Naples, Barcelona, Amsterdam Dusseldorf…).

Extracurricular classes (6e-5e et 4e-3e) and adult courses (aged 15 and up)

The TALM Esba expands its international scope each year by developing numerous partnerships with foreign art schools and establishments. The establishment itself offers a number of possibilities for study abroad. The exchange programmes are part of the standard student curriculum and are mainly geared towards fourth year students. A period of study in a foreign school demands that the student present the outline of their personal project to other teachers, other pedagogical and cultural milieus. The three school sites have signed bilateral Erasmus conventions for the mobility of their students and teachers and also maintain privileged partnerships with institutions located outside of Europe.

Design techniques and creation in ceramics

Training in design techniques and creation in ceramics.

Insularité comme laboratoire (Insularity as a laboratory)

Smallness, confinement, speed of reaction, the limited number of parameters to take into account in an insular microcosm are many of the particularities that make the island a true “natural laboratory” for fundamental and applied research.
Fantasized about in its literary and philosophical representations, the island remains a unique theme – a summary or a condensed version of the universe. The island is to the ocean what the Earth is to the cosmos. This imaginary, once rid of its clichés, necessitates openings and connections between ideas, traditions and cultures. The island is also a junction in a network of knowledge as knowledge itself is a rhizome-like archipelago. The programme aims to transpose this same model, both theoretical and territorial, so as to observe its influence in the context of situations of conception and production of an intellectual, cultural and artistic nature. One of the objectives is to ask questions of comparative analysis, calling upon experience coming from other geographical, economic and culturally insular situations, relating as much to the results of necessary adaptations as to processes of acclimatization of traditions, creative ideas, objects…

Publications linked to events in the school year and in the context of the school’s doctoral platform.

Symposia, lectures, seminars, internships, training and Research and Creation residencies.
Regular programme each semester of exhibitions, lectures, conferences with different cultural actors of the island (the Regional Fund of Contemporary Art, the Artotheque, the Regional Center of Pedagogical Documentation…).
International Partnerships (study trips and workshops around the world).

Life model and art history classes for adults.

Exhibitions with a direct link to pedagogy in the school, in reserved rooms equipped with this in mind.

2D and 3D infography, engraving, lithography, photography, video, porcelain, paint and materials (iron, wood, composite…).

Kaolin, international “art, design and contemporary ceramics” post graduate course

This high level training belongs within the international context of the globalization of artistic and inter cultural exchanges between Europe and Asia, through the two major spaces of porcelain production of Limoges and Jingdezhen (China). Under the direction of Michel Gouéry, invited artist of international renown, this postgraduate course is open, by way of exam, to 4 creators, DNSEP or Master 2 level graduates or their professional equivalent.
This one year programme proposes a strong individual and collective experience, founded on the acquisition of knowledge and the sharing of skills; allowing one to forge a ceramics culture in the specific field of porcelain and to elaborate an ambitious research project linked with the ENSA’s artistic and professional networks in France and abroad. To operate their research, artists benefit from a collective space and have access to the school’s range of pedagogical and technical resources.
For each session, the selected candidates define, in collaboration with the guest artist, the expectations and modalities of their research programme. They specify the rhythm, organization and objectives.
The ENSA covers expenses linked to production and distribution of projects, accommodation and travel fees in France and abroad.

Collection of digital publications for the publication of study days in collaboration with Naima (www.naimaeditions.com).

Study days, workshops, conferences, seminars, exhibitions (free and open to the public)

Public classes for children, teenagers and adults.

The international strategy of the ENSA is based on the principle of exchange of practices and artistic and pedagogical intelligence with international partners in the domains of art and technology, in particular in the field of ceramics: student and teacher mobility in the context of the Erasmus programme and organization of communal workshops in France and abroad.

Jacques Bertin Project

The Graphic of Jacques Bertin – visual creation and human sciences at EHESS (Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales)

The EHESS graphic laboratory, created in 1954 by Jacques Bertin, was a resource for all the researchers of this institution who were looking for visualizations and graphic proposals enabling them to speed up their research. The color, the line, the arrangement of signs in space were so many means, tools serving thought and the elaboration of knowledge. On the occasion of the program of actions set up by EHESS to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the publication of Jacques Bertin’s Graphic Semiology (1967), EESAB Lorient wished to join in the celebration of this important event, dealing with the collaboration between humanities and visual research.

The experience of narrative

Contemporary narrative is characterized by the hybridization of genres, means and supports. Genders because it borrows as much from history, the novel, philosophy, essay, poetry, psychoanalysis, the human sciences, the documentary investigation, the reportage. Means because it uses texts, images, sounds, actions, choreographies, objects, environments to create what we should now call narrative experiences. Hybridization of the supports, finally, because the same story is displayed on different screens, on architecture, on paper or in the air.
Since 2012, EESAB has offered a seminar entitled “The Experience of Narrative”. Artists, theoreticians, art critics, exhibition curators come to present their practices, perceptions, experiments around the notion of narrative, which founds the project of establishment. Each episode of the study days is followed by the publication of a book by
different contributors (artists, theorists, teachers or art school students), whether or not they participated in the study days.

Tomorrow the ocean

BOAT ® is an artistic and educational research vessel conceived as a mobile workshop, a work platform, an annex of the Ecole supérieure supérieure d’art de Bretagne, meeting other territories, other cultures, other disciplines. This project was initiated by three EESAB teaching artists, Nicolas Floc’h, Erwan Mével and Jocelyn Cottencin, within the framework of the “territories extremes” research line.
Since November 2014, Nicolas Floc’h, Erwan Mével and Jocelyn Cottencin have started up with Pierre-Yves Glorennec and Jacques Dussol the renovation of the boat “Grand Largue”. Students from Brest, Lorient and Rennes were involved in the project. On the construction site, Nicolas Floc’h and Erwan Mevel coordinated the work, together with students from Rennes.
On the graphic project, Jocelyn Cottencin initiated a draft codex, chromatic, formal and typographical layout of the boat and its environment with students from Lorient.

Exhibition catalogues, proceedings of seminars and symposia

TRAVEL AND TRIPS
The school organizes regular trips or study trips for students (Venice Art Biennale, Documenta in Kassel). Every year, during the first semester, a trip to Paris is offered to students of the 1st year, with a program of visits (museums, art centers, galleries, etc.)

SEMINARS AND DAYS OF STUDIES
The teaching team of the Lorient site offers seminars or study days, with the participation of external guests (artists, teachers, researchers from all disciplines):
× Either on joint projects with other EESAB sites.
× Either in connection with the project to set up the Lorient site. Every year since 2012, the study days “L’expérience du récit” are an opportunity to invite theorists and artists to share their experiments or analyzes around this notion of narrative, the foundation of the pedagogical project. These days give rise to an eponymous annual publication.

EXHIBITIONS
The gallery of the school hosts on average 3 exhibitions per year. Artists, collectives or gallery owners, in conjunction with the teachers, propose a selection of works and travel to meet the students, to animate a conference or a workshop related to the exhibition. This program includes exhibitions linked to the biennals organized in the Lorient conurbation, the “Rencontres photographiques” and the “Itineraires graphiques” co-founded by the school.
The school encourages partnerships to allow students to expose as much as possible outside the walls.

Classes for adults and children

Through the Erasmus network, exchange agreements signed with many european countries.
Other international partnerships: Medellin, Colombia ; Nha Trang, Vietnam.

3rd cycle – research in the Lyon Ensba

The 3rd cycle – research is structured in two currently active Research Units (UR):
– ACTH contemporary art and the time of history
– DatAData poetic media and the esthetic issues connected to digital cultures
The 3rd cycle takes place over 3 years, with a possibility to extend it a further 1 or 2 years, and is validated by a 3rd cycle research degree awarded by the Lyon Ensba. The forms and conditions of defending the degree are specific to each UR and to each project; this can take the form of an exhibition, publication, edition, distribution, event, and is accompanied by a research dissertation. Each UR functions with a team of 5 artist-researchers benefiting from an annual research grant. Each one is registered as a student of the school. He/she can be a 3rd cycle student registered with another, partner, higher education establishment. To this can be added artists, visual artists, theoreticians and professionals who participate for all or part of the programme as “associated partners”. A transversal conference common to both research units, to which the post graduates are associated, is an important element in the structuring of research within the 3rd cycle.

The postgraduate art course in the Lyon Ensba

The postgraduate art course in the Lyon Ensba consists of a year of high level training consisting of a residency and a scholarship, for a group of five young international artists, coming from a training in art and holding a DNSEP or equivalent international qualification and after a process of selection through “concours (competition)”. First, under the direction of artists Nick van Steeg and Marie José Burki and critic Jean-Pierre Rehm at the moment of its creation in 1999, then under the sole direction of Jean-Pierre Rehm until 2012, the post graduate programme is currently under the direction of François Piron.
Geared towards 5 young artists with diverse geographical origins already engaged in different practices, this one year programme invites them to pursue and develop their work while benefiting from the school’s infrastructure and its workshops and studios, and to participate in critical discussions, encounters and trips. On this frontier of the professional field of art that these artists often face alone, the Postgraduate course proposes an experiment in modes of social being, founded on exchange and thought. Trips abroad, within and beyond the borders of Europe, are organized with the aim of generating encounters with numerous artists and professionals, developing a critical vision of exhibitions and events, and observing, on the scale of a city or a country, the elements that make up the fermentation of an art scene.

The preparatory class of the Lyon Ensba

The École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Lyon provides, in complement to its art and design cycles in higher education, teaching described by the term “preparatory”, a general training aimed towards preparing students for entry to higher education art establishments. This section is part of the national network of public preparatory classes at the heart of the APPEA (Association of managers of art school public preparatory classes) organization. Theoretical and practical, the teaching takes place over approximately 35 hours of weekly class-time with classes from September to May.

ACTH Contemporary Art and the Time of History

Since January 2004, in collaboration with the Centre for History and Theory of the Arts of the School for Advanced Studies in Social Sciences of Paris ((CEHTA / EHESS), the school has set up a research programme run by artist Bernhard Rüdiger and theoretician and art historian Giovanni Careri, that has for subject the construction of the real in contemporary art.

1. A first step in research around the ethical question of a “fair image” of the real was published in 2008 by Archibooks in Paris under their direction: ” Face au réel : Éthique de la forme dans l’art contemporain ” / “Faced with the real : Ethics of the form in contemporary art”. This book provides an account of work done with: Pietro Montani, André Gunthert, Thomas Schütte, Luciano Fabro, Allan Sekula, Ernst van Alphen and Mieke Bal, in collaboration with young artist researchers coming from the Lyon Ensba and doctoral students from the EHESS.

2- In the context of this research unit, the Lyon Ensba has hosted conferences by Georges Didi-Huberman, Alfredo Pirri, Michael Fried and Luc Delahaye invited to illuminate artistic systems of distancing and “thickening of the present”.

3- The “History shaped by the work of art” seminar, held at the Lyon Ensba in 2009 defined the axes of thinking of the new research unit that was constituted under the direction of Bernhard Rüdiger and Giovanni Careri. It works around the issue of “Contemporary Art and the Time of History” (ACTH), and proposes to study the relationships between certain productions of current art and “regimes of historicity” that it mobilizes.

4- The research unit met in Paris for a monthly conference at the EHESS inviting historians François Hartog and Sabina Loriga with their research group, l’Atelier International de Recherche sur les Usages Publics du Passé / the International Workshop of Research on the Public Uses of the Past (EHESS).

5- The Lyon Ensba has since hosted intensive conferences with artists Frédéric Moser and Philippe Schwinger and art historian Ralph Ubl.

6- In 2010 the ACTH research unit published Luciano Fabro, Habiter l’autonomie / Inhabiting Autonomy, edited by the Lyon Ensba, following the seminar “Luciano Fabro, the autonomy of the artist – new space or last entrenchment”? held in October of 2008.

7- In November of 2011, the research unit experimented a first shaping of its thinking with the experimental exhibition “Suspended Time / Le temps suspendu”, with works by artists from the unit, as well as “Diorama” by Candice Breitz, “Lunch Break” by Sharon Lockhart, “Wavelength” by Michael Snow and a reproduction of the board on September 11th of the Atlas by Gerhard Richter, in addition to a certain quantity of data, or links, trough various documents, visual and textual, organized in the form of a “table of contents” of pages from an atlas such as those done by Aby Warburg.

8- The conferences in the EHESS in the 2011/12 session were dedicated to theoretical elaboration and the development of this system.
The unit is currently working on a second edition of this experimental exhibition at the BAL of Paris in December 2013.

9- Since June 2012 the project “Suspended Time – History shaped by the work of art” of the ACTH research unit was selected by the CAP LABEX (Creation, Art, Heritage) with a subsidy going towards the publication of the results of the research. The ACTH research unit is supported by the Minister of Culture for the purposes of the 2013 call for projects of the Department of Visual Arts of the General Direction for Artistic Creation.

10- Publications by the ACTH research unit:
“Luciano Fabro – Habiter l’autonomie / Inhabiting Autonomy”, B.Rüdiger dir., with B.Corà, D.v.Drathen, L.Fabro, V.Goudinoux, G.Paolini, M.Montazami, E.Parendeau, Ph.L.Rousseau, M.Rowell, B.Seror, S.Tritz. Editions ENBA, Lyon, 2010.
“Face au réel. Éthique de la forme dans l’art contemporain”, G.Careri and B.Rüdiger, dir., a research conference with: P.Montani, A.Gunthert, Th.Schütte, L.Fabro, A.Sekula, E.v.Alphen and M.Bal. Bookstorming, Paris, 2008.

DSRD – Advanced degree in Design Research

Research in the Higher School of Art and Design of Marseille is in a period of development and is structured around diverse partnerships (institutional and university), as much for the art option: SONART as for the design option: SPACES WITHOUT QUALITIES. An administrative research unit gathers and structures the projects. The projects containing the ensemble of the conditions that define a level of research can ultimately, propose 3 years of study (bac+8) to postgraduate students and award a 3rd cycle qualification, the DRSD (Advanced National Degree in Design Research ) geared towards student-researchers coming from initially diverse training backgrounds and recruited through a call for applications.

The preparatory class of the ESADMM

In September 2013 the École supérieure d’art et de design Marseille-Méditerranée opened a full time, one year, public preparatory class for preparing the entry exams of higher art education establishments. It hosts 20 students with around 35 hours of classes weekly. The objectives of the training:
– Prepare students for the higher art education establishment entry competitions and help them to put together a portfolio of personal work
– Familiarize students with formal and conceptual issues at stake in the modalities of teaching in higher schools of art.
– Provide the visual and technical bases in the relevant fields
– Favor the emergence of a discourse that reveals a critical mind, a real motivation, a singularity and a curiosity in each student
– Help students choose their orientation in the context of their abilities and desires.

Sonart – for a digitized and indexed corpus of sound art experiments and productions

A new “exhibition catalogue”: proposition of a digital platform for the indexing and distribution of works of visual sound art.
Despite the fact that the domain of sound art is in a period of expansion, we have only seen the very beginning of its inventory, historical approach and its theorization. Sonart wishes to make an important contribution, constituting an important documentary base dealing with artistic and experimental practices from the beginning of the 20th century to the most current works. This base will be created from specific systems and tools for indexation.
The role of the ESADMM in this partnership is to produce a number of exhibitions, starting with works connected to the domain of research and consider their scope, drawing on French public collections. (FRAC, FNAC and others). By orientating the exhibition in relation to a theme, a genre or a specific question each time, the aim is to, by way of the exhibition, complete the research by being based on the reality of the retained works. This research project is the fruit of a collaboration between universities and art schools where different areas of expertize and fields of knowledge intersect.

Spaces without qualities – Design, urban spaces and digital technologies

Digital technologies, the development of which has amplified and accelerated urban change begun at the end of the 19th century, have today infiltrated urban space itself, modifying the landscape as much as their use and modes of management. The data which transits through the GSM network, wifi networks, user information and transport infrastructures, systems of surveillance and RFID devices accumulates in the urban space, then constantly produces and distributes spaces whose nature is modified under the regime of hybridization of physical space (material spaces, built space) and “digital space”, where permanent connectivity, systems of geo-localization, ubiquitous and mobile computing profoundly alter urban ways of being on an individual and collective scale.
The question that preoccupies design in the context of these issues is to know how to qualify the permanent tension that characterizes this contemporary city (global/ local, private/ publication, anonymity/surveillance, individual/collective, interior/exterior, built up spaces/ spaces of transit/flow,…), how to orientate oneself in an environment with porous borders, in complex places, multiple and fragmented, how to materialize the effectivity of a relationship between bodies, places and digital communications networks, in a word, how to give shape and meaning to that we wish to call, echoing Robert Musil’s figure of the Man without qualities, “spaces without qualities”.

Since January 2013, the ESDAMM has hosted its first researcher, Adelin Schweitzer, within its walls in the context of the Spaces without qualities/Design, urban spaces and digital technologies, research programme.

The Positions Bureau

With: Vanessa Brito (Lecturer in Philosophy), Anna Dezeuze (Lecturer in Art History), Charlie Jeffery (Artist), Frédéric Pradeau (Artist), and the students of the Ecole Supérieure d’Art et de Design Marseille-Méditerranée. Description Where do I stand? How can I hold my ground? For how long? These are some of the questions that the Bureau des positions sets out to investigate by focusing on the relation between physical actions – such as taking a stance, occupying a space, holding a position or carrying out a project over time – and their artistic and political implications. Of particular interest is the articulation between the two meanings of the word ‘resistance’: it describes both a physical qualities of materials and bodies, involving phenomena of inertia and resilience, and human efforts and actions ranging from opposition to insurrection and disobedience. At what points do these two meanings intersect? When does a ‘stance’ turn into ‘resistance’? Are some physical postures, such as the ‘standing position’ described by Roland Barthes, ’eminently critical‘? Could there be a connection, as he suggests, between an uncomfortable position and the feeling of ‘un-ease’ that gives rise to ‘political consciousness’? As we set up various intersections between different practices – in art, literature, philosophy and science – we will also pay attention to the position effects that result from changing locations and different relations of proximity. We will study the ways in which words, bodies and objects are placed and arranged – whether in the space of the picture or the exhibition, on a stage or the page – according to tensions, the balance between different forces, be they dynamic or static. What does adopting a position involve? In what ways can one navigate a given institutional, cultural or political context? It may be less a matter of finding a place than of inventing shifting spaces of dis-placement, in which everything and everyone is, in fact, always out of place. Programme, 2015-2016 Our starting point for this academic year will be Thomas Hirschhorn’s workshop in which the artist asks: ‘Where do I stand? What do I want?’ We will then follow our second guest artist, Julien Prévieux, in his tactical positions in given institutional, cultural and political contexts, as he rolls around his everyday space (in Roulades), sends out Letters of Non-interest (Lettres de non-motivation) or explores the world of patented gestures in What shall we do next. We will also look at stances such as Bartleby’s (in Melville’s famous short story), which combined different ways of occupying space through immobility with variations on the sentence ‘I would prefer not to’. Such positions can be read as prefiguring ‘Occupy’ movements as much as artistic practices that reject production.

The ESADMM edits publications in relation to certain pedagogical and artistic projects, to activities of research and expression carried out in the school. The degrees awarded (DNSEP art and design) are the subject of a catalogue each year. The school also publishes the ensemble of its pedagogical leaflets. A publishing section exists within the school (technical basics in Publishing/ prepress/ archives, screen printing, lithography/ offset/ engraving, infography) allowing students to shape, experiment and make multiple works of very diverse natures, from the creation of artist books to school dissertations (mémoires).

Each year the ESADMM elaborates a complete programme of cultural activities within the school in addition to projects that happen outside the walls in relation with its partners: exhibitions, lectures and encounters, concerts, open days, workshops and guests, artist residences, etc.

With classes geared towards amateurs, both children and adults, more than 600 students practice the visual arts each week in workshops situated on 6 sites from the north to the south of the city. Driven by visual artists, teachers from the school, the originality of the workshops resides in the double approach proposed by teachers: practice the visual arts, but also develop an aesthetic sensitivity, allowing each student to inscribe their creative process in the modernity of the arts. As a complement, developing a general sensitivity to the History of art is proposed.

The school is committed to displaying a true international policy. Of course this is supported by the establishment’s first class student exchange network with almost 50 art and design schools around the world.
Each year, around forty fourth year students from the art and design option benefit from the numerous partnerships that have been developed throughout the years with other schools from around the world, whether in the context of the ERASMUS programme: Germany (Berlin, Bremen, Krefeld, Hamburg, Munich), England (Bristol, London, Leeds), Austria (Linz, Vienna), Belgium (Anvers, Brussels, Hasselt), Denmark (Copenhagen), Spain (Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao, Valence), Finland (Helsinki, Vaasa), Greece (Athens), Hungary (Budapest), Iceland (Reykjavik), Italy (Bologna, Milan, Ravenna, Venice), Holland (Rotterdam), Poland (Gdansk), Portugal (Tomar), the Czech Republic (Prague), Switzerland (Geneva, Lucerne, Sierre, Zurich), Turkey (Eskisehir); and non-ERASMUS: Armenia (Erevan), Brazil (Rio de Janeiro), Canada (Montréal, Québec), Chili (Santiago), China (Peking, Shanghaï, Dalian), The Ivory Coast (Abidjan), Israel (Jerusalem), Tunisia (sousse)

The MAD, the gallery of the École supérieure d’art et de design Marseille-Méditerranée.
The MAD gallery in the center of town has the primary goal of bringing visibility to the school’s art options, revealed by guest artists, the choice of participants made by teachers, the event-related pedagogical forms, workshops, studios and the school’s research axes.

THE LUMINY GALLERIES
Located on the site of the establishments, two experimental exhibition spaces are available to invited artists, student and teacher projects and public renderings of work at the end of workshops.

The ESADMM benefits from a privileged environment at the heart of Luminy’s university domain. It covers 18 hectares, in buildings whose architecture was designed by René Egger offering 10,000m2 of workshops, classrooms and an amphitheater, privileging volume and light to students.
The school has the technological basis that covers the ensemble of the tools necessary for creation today: infography, wood, metal, publishing (screen printing, lithography, engraving…), still and moving digital images, sound, ceramics, 3D, modeling…
It has also implemented a large digital project (LoAD platform and fablabs) designed to create thinking and experimentation, inside and outside of the school, on the wide field of digital practices, linking engineering, research, technology, creation and distribution.

Pavillion Bosio postgraduate in art and set design

Set up in 2009, the ESAP postgraduate programme has the goal of inventing a framework conducive to the emergence of research in art and set design, as much from a practical as a theoretical point of view, and is open to various fields of investigation such as theater, dance, exhibition, installation and performance. In this context, the school offers the possibility of benefitting from the relationships that it enjoys with its larger partners, in addition to conventions for professional internships. It thus favors the connection of registered postgraduate students with its national and international networks, and in this way inscribes itself in a mission of accompanying its young graduates in their entrance into the professional world.
The programme’s pedagogy is founded on the dialogue between knowledge and skills, through local projects and ones further afield, by participating in the school’s pedagogical activities (seminars, conferences, lectures), through individual or collective meetings with teachers, and voyages. Students have access to the school’s infrastructures (spaces, computers and associated technology, tools for production etc.), and they can also benefit from a studio that has been made available to them by the Board of Cultural Affairs of Monaco (these studios are attributed after the examination of applications).
In addition, every year two students receive a research grant awarded by The Monaco Project for the Arts (MPA) associative organization. The MPA also organizes an exhibition in a contemporary art gallery in Monaco for one of the artists.
Candidates participating in the postgraduate programme must realize a theoretical production in the form of a publication in the pages of the Pavilion review and / or a visual production, in the form of a spectacle or exhibition hosted in one of the ESAP’s partner sites.

– Exhibitions: an annual exhibition of third year students, an annual exhibition of fifth year students; « Carte blanche à un artiste (Carte Blanche to an artist) », a summer exhibition managed by the Monaco Project for the Arts associative organization.
– Participation in forums and festivals such as: Imagina, Monaco Dance forum, Printemps des arts, the Avignon Festival…
– Annual Set Design Conference. Cycle of lectures, Internships (see list on our site), cultural trips.

Workshops for children, adults and teenagers: drawing, painting, ceramics, publications/binding, multimedia, 2D 3D, photography.

Partnerships: UDK Berlin, HEAD Geneva, ENSAV La Cambre – Brussels, Toneelacademie Maastricht, Villa Arson Nice, ENSA Limoges, University of Paris-Sorbonne (Paris 4), University of Lorraine, Accademia di Belli Arti di Palermo, Teatro Due di Parma, National Theater of the Criée in Marseille, Compagnie des Ballets de Monte Carlo, Monaco Dance Forum, FRAC PACA, New National Museum of Monaco (NMNM), Oceanographic Museum of Monaco.

The Offshore school – the “globalization and creation” research programme

Shanghai, a megalopolis of more than 20 million inhabitants, one of the most dynamic cities on the planet, hosts the “globalization and creation” research programme. This is concerned with the issues of creation in the context of globalization. Trans-disciplinary in nature, it is open to post-master graduates of the Nancy ENSA. The offshore school gives each one of them the possibility to develop a personal project inscribed within four primary objectives:
– invent and experiment new strategies of innovation in a networked world and a globalized economy
– think and experience art as a major operator in the society of knowledge
– analyze and anticipate cultural and intercultural changes generated by new technologies
– highlight the esthetic stakes of a globalized culture

Conference proceedings, exhibition catalogues, CD Roms, DVDs and DVD Roms, multiple posters and portfolios.
The school has developed a publishing and co-publishing programme and regularly publishes exhibition catalogues, works of art and research (5 publications or co-publications in 2011).

Exhibition programme: 5 to 6 exhibitions per year in the NaMiMa Gallery and 5 or 6 exhibitions per year in partner spaces, Espace My Monkey, André Malraux Cultural Center, national stage, Museum of Fine Arts, Aquarium Museum…

Active participation in European Union student and teacher exchange programmes (Erasmus/Socrates)

In 2011, the school created its own exhibition gallery, NaMiMa, a 120m2 space dedicated to experimentation and practices of the exhibition. NaMiMa is an acronym taken from Nano/Micro/Macro. It places the accent on relationships of scale, movement, space and time. To move from micro to macro, is to shift from the individual to the collective, from the restricted to the global. A fundamental issue to be faced with within an art school.
The gallery privileges work done in a laboratory logic with young curators, young French and international artists with some coming from the ARTEM studios. It presents three or four exhibitions per year, one of them being the result of an international call for projects launched towards young creators, artists and collectives operating in the field of research being interested in emerging forms.

Wood, metal, casting-modeling, typography, engraving, screen printing, lithography, reprography, offset, film and digital photography (a shooting studio and two laboratories for the treatment of black and white and color photographs), CAD and CAO, multimedia (film studio, editing booths, post-production and mastering equipment), video, sound, prototyping.

Area 1: Practises and theories of exhibition (PRATHEX)

This line of research deals with questions linked to the exhibition, a practice that has been particularly developed at the Esban for a number of years – curators, exhibition assistants and student exhibitions in spaces that may or may not be devoted to art. Nonetheless, far from being restricted to questions of museology, to “writings” of the exhibition and to its formats, this axis intends to deal with the idea of the exhibition in an oblique fashion. Thus, these are attitudes (staging the artist), and paradigms (the temporality of the artwork, thinking the archive) that have been questioned under the angle of their display during the previous three programmes: Jeux d’exposition (2010), Publier/Exposer (2012), Temps exposés (2015).

Area 2: La flamme et le papillon (The butterfly and the flame)

Rather than concentrating on elements of identity, or of convergence between literature and moving images, this line of research plans then to question the different ways of conceiving and creating that are raised by their encounter, without denying the gap that separates them. It will thus be a matter of questioning the porosity between the forms proceeding from inherent means of expression, analyzing the issues of their tensioning, positing opacity and displacement as sources of research and experimentation at the same time in the theoretical and artistic fields.

The school has a very strong editorial policy. It has published several research books and numerous catalogs of graduates.

Evening classes for adults and children’s classes.

Every year, Nîmes Art School (Esban) welcomes students from abroad. Foreign students may apply to study at Esban either as regular students (after passing the entrance exam or the mid-course admission) or as exchange students coming from a partner institution and staying for a semester or one academic year.

The Esban hosts in its main building a Gallery of 280m2. It allows the school to organize three or four exhibitions a year. This very solemn space can also be used by the students for their final exam.

Five 200m2 collective studios are reserved for students, allowing them to develop their personal projects and individual research.Publishing practises can avail of specific, well equipped workshops and the volume workshops are organised with tools and machines that allow students to work with wood and metal as well as perform modelling and casting.Three computer rooms (CAD, Video/Sound) and a photography laboratory are available to students who wish to work with images and sound.
The Esban also possesses a library that specialises in contemporary art, being part of the network formed by the centre for documentation of the Carré d’Art and that of the FRAC Languedoc-Roussillon.

ECOLAB

ÉSAD Orléans «ÉCOLAB» research unit, supported by the ministry of Culture and Communication, is dedicated to structuring, orienting and developing programs and research projects, from signs to space, in relation with research institutes at a regional, national and international level. The general orientation of ÉCOLAB is defined by an ecological reflection in the large sense (environmental, social, technique, mental) resting on the idea that any conception, production, and exchange activity is defined by a set of relations where each element of the system has an influence on all the others. It is more clearly about understanding how design, as a form of thought and rational creation, can enlighten, deepen and transform the way in which ecology and digital technology determine contemporary human life. According to such a perspective, ecology and digital technology are not considered as simple themes but as new research conditions similar to experience, creation and society.

A collected edition of lecture cycles and a collected edition of projects

An annual cycle of themed lectures.
Specific and inter-school workshops (january workshops, summer camp…).

Workshops for amateur practice. Classes for children, teenagers, adults.

Design doctorate

Since 2010 it has been possible for experienced designers or students coming from design schools and university education who have a research project that places design at the heart of an issue, a terrain, of an experimentation, to write a thesis. The ENSCI is part of the Pres Hésam. Theses in the ENSCI are supported by university doctoral schools. Registered under the titles of recognized disciplines, in the field of art and technology, the social sciences and computing, they contribute to the field of research in design. They innovate through chosen themes and methods of monitoring (accompanied by designers, immersion in the school).
The thesis is geared towards designers that have already completed a Master’s 2 in research. Exceptions can be made, according to the experience, the history, the creations that can be taken into account in terms of research skills. Students follow conferences on methodology and participate in the scientific activities of the Pres and of the Labex CAP (Creation, arts et heritage). They are involved in the Paris Design Lab. Cifre contracts and doctoral allocations are also possible.

Specialized Master’s degree in creation and contemporary technology

Proposed by the ENSCI-Les Ateliers, it is a postgraduate programme certified by the Conférence des Grandes Écoles that welcomes French and foreign applicants coming from schools of higher education of creation (graphic design, design, architecture, visual arts, fashion design…). This formation with its professional orientation has the objective of allowing creators to drive a project at the intersection of contemporary artistic and technological thinking. When we speak of contemporary technology we mean new processes of design and manufacture, information and communication technologies, new materials and bio and nano technologies.
The Master’s programme has the vocation of training professionals in the field of creation who, in their particular fields of activity, will carry a project that integrates confirmed or emerging, innovative techniques and technology.

Specialized Master’s in innovation by design

Faced with changes in technology, with upheavals in the schemes of production, in the changes in economic paradigms and in the modifications in consumer behavior, businesses are more than ever confronted with the issue of differentiation. Today, “the obligation to innovate” to which economic actors are faced, tends to place design as an intrinsic value of business and an essential lever in enhancing its competitiveness. Innovation through design, it is through this assertion that the ENSCI contributes to shaping actors in companies by proposing a specialized Master’s degree that provides them with all of the elements for understanding, for ownership, so as to install design in a sustainable and sensible manner at the heart of business strategy.

Ongoing training programmes of the ENSCI

We offer businesses a unique environment to enhance, transform and accompany the changes in their professional practices. Contemporary industry must take into account evolving technology and social transformation. It must call upon new skills, mobilizing its resources in new approaches, and to that end invest in training. The designer, through his creativity, his capacity to anticipate and integrate contemporary challenges, is a wholly separate partner in a position to propose new concepts and give them form.
The ENSCI proposes programmes that are adapted to specific needs, in the form of conferences and workshops; sessions aiming to render participants sensitive to design through the domains of the product, services, urban spaces, digital design…but equally the 3 postgraduate programmes in the form of ongoing training. The ENSCI proposes two specialized Master’s programmes, Contemporary Creation and Technology and Innovation by Design. The third postgraduate programme, Nouveau Design, proposes to graduate designers to acquire an “enhanced profile”.

The ENSCI-Les Ateliers publishes articles and texts on its web site including reports, interviews, points of view, dissertations and degrees. It publishes articles, as with the annual degree year book and exhibition catalogues. Under the Paris Design Lab brand it also publishes its research and experimentation notes.

The regular presence of national and international events in the establishment.
Lectures, debates, conferences, performances on a monthly basis, initiated by the video-photo-sound studio.
Participation in international student design competitions (students from the ENSCI are regularly among the prize winners).

Each student has a mandatory professional internship lasting one term, in France or, for over half of them, abroad, and a large number of students travel to Europe or abroad for a university exchange.
The establishment currently has almost 80 partner schools and universities throughout the world. Three of them are considered to be footholds: Chiba University in Japan, The National University of Singapore in Singapore and Parsons, The New School for Design in New-York.
The MEDs (Master of European Design), organized with six other European institutes, allows a wide opening on Europe for students following this curriculum.

Workshops: wood, metal, plastic, CAD/CAM, rapid prototyping, digital design, nude model, technical imaging module, 3D modeling, visual and digital arts workshop.
Studios: material resources, photo, video, sound, graphic communication…

SACRe (Sciences, Arts, Creation, Research)

In the context of the Initiative for excellence project carried by the foundation for scientific cooperation PSL, Paris Sciences Lettres – Quartier latin, of which the ENSBA has become an associated member, our establishment contributes not only to the setting up of an original doctoral training in art, SCARe, but is also associated to programmes of distribution of knowledge such as the Faberlabo, a museum space destined to bring out the best of artistic and scientific collections of the institutions of the PSL, or the LiberLabo, digital network of the libraries.
Bringing science and art together, allowing creators and scientists to work and invent together, to explore the common areas of research and creation: such is the ambition of the doctoral training called Science, Arts, Creation, Research (SACRe), the result of the collaboration between these six institutions.

La vie tumultueuse des œuvres d’art contemporain (The tumultuous life of Oeuvres of Contemporary Art)

This programme, set up by the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts with the École du Louvre, is geared towards fifteen or so students equally divided between postgraduate students of the Ensba and fifth year students from the École du Louvre; It aims to train participants in the specific area of the scientific management of contemporary works of art, complex installations in particular.
The conference studies the issues relating to documentation, archiving, conservation and restoration of works of contemporary art, leaning principally on tangible cases coming from the contemporary collections of the Museum of Modern Art. Demanding a full attendance record, it is composed of between four and five sessions, completed by a summary report, and results in the awarding of a training certificate. The programme, the conditions of participation and the precise dates of the conference will be communicated in October.

Programme for artists intervening in schools

This programme constitutes a one year long training programme in the school, leading to a postgraduate level degree. It has the goal of training young artists to intervene in schools while allowing them to develop their artistic practice. This programme is at the same time founded on the experience of an artistic and cultural project done with a class, and on research work destined to produce a dissertation with for subject the analysis of the specific nature of the role of the artist in an approach to education and transmission starting from the year long experience. This programme leads to an art degree in school intervention. The applicants must hold a Diplôme national supérieur d’arts plastiques / Higher National Diploma in visual arts (Dnsap) awarded by the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts, having obtained it in the three years previous to the current school year. The art degree in school intervention of the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts is a higher education degree. It is awarded by the school’s director on behalf of the state.

A publishing department producing more than thirty articles every year in the Écrits d’artistes, D’art en questions, Beaux-arts histoire, Principes et théories de l’art, Ateliers collections. Exhibition catalogues and guides.

– A regular cultural programming open to all artistic disciplines, allowing students to keep up to date on creation and its issues (encounters, conferences, seminars, workshops, projections and debates).
– Exhibitions in the spaces of the Palais des Beaux-Arts
– Two days of “Open Workshops” take place each year at the end of June and allow free access to the whole of the workshops, amphitheaters, historical buildings and other sectors of activities of the school.

L’Observatoire

The reinforcing and structuring of a research unit ensures long term research activity in the Pyrénées ESA. The five research programmes supported by the Observatoire research unit are based, firstly, on artistic creation, ceramics, graphic design and multimedia and secondly, on the exploration of other fields of knowledge, from the humanities to the sciences. Its programmes favor the emergence and consolidation of the personal project of future graduate artists and designers of the Pyrénées ÉSA. They aim to create a research environment associating teaching, production and distribution. With this goal in mind they maintain a close dialogue with other research centers that, in the territory or on a national and international level are interested by the themes being considered. An operational, observational laboratory, this unit encourages the confrontation of different approaches to creation, in the perspective of developing an intelligibility from the sensitive and in the sensitive.

Sagacious events, projections, lectures, performances (10 to 12 sessions per year); a partnership with the Bel Ordinaire, a space for contemporary art of the greater community of Pau – Pyrénées, the Parvis center for contemporary art of Tarbes-Ibos, with the FRAC collection Aquitaine, the Image-Imatge association , the Accès(s)s de création contemporaine association, the subsidized Espace Pluriels-scène dance-theater, The inter commune Pôle culturel of the ancient abattoirs, the Centrifugeuse, the cultural department of the Université de Pau et des Pays de l’Adour.

Amateur classes for children, adolescents and adults, on the Pau and Tarbes sites.

The école supérieure d’art des Pyrénées — Pau Tarbes is naturally turned towards the iberian peninsula. Numerous student and teacher exchanges have resulted from this proximity. However, connections woven with other countries also enhance the proposed pedagogy. Each year the school increases its international reputation through the development of numerous partnerships with foreign art schools and institutions.
The Pyrénées ÉSA sends and receives term students to and from England and Belgium.
Also, the school hosts 32 foreign students: 1 German, 2 Spanish, 3 Belgian, 1 English, 17 Chinese, 3 Korean (People’s Democratic Republic), 1 Japanese, 1 Algerian, 2 Iranian, 1 Colombian.

Painting, volume, engraving, multimedia, CAD, photography, screen printing, video, multi-material workshops (wood, metal).

Master’s in comic art (with the University of Poitiers)

Diplôme Supérieur de Recherche en Art (DSRA) – Document and contemporary art

Founded in 2010 at the initiative of the European School of Visual Arts, the post-graduate program, Document & contemporary art, became a degree-granting research program in 2014, awarding a PhD-level DSRA (Diplôme Supérieur de Recherche en Art), in partnership with the École nationale supérieure d’art de Bourges. This experimental research program places equal emphasis on collective and individual research agendas.
The program is open to young art or film practitioners, curators and theorists seeking to prolong their studies through a three-year, doctoral-level program, irrespective of media or technique. Participants are expected to follow the program’s collective activities and to undertake individual research integrating artistic production and theoretical reflexion. Individual research projects must be validated by a committee made up of the academic advisory team and an external assessor at the end of the first year. Successful completion of the three-year program enables participants to obtain a PhD-level Degree in artistic research (DSRA).
The program is by nature nomadic, displacement being a conscious methodological choice. Its activities are condensed into once-monthly meetings of one week, held in different cities (Paris, Buenos Aires, Bourges, Poitiers, Angoulême, Belgrade…). For these meetings, the program functions as a seminar, inviting artists, theorists, curators, activists, etc. Participants are required to attend the collective research seminars and to engage in a regular writing practice in the form of reports and correspondence. An annual publication provides an account of the program’s activities by bringing together writing and other work from the participating artists and invited guests.
The program recruits internationally. Principal working languages are English, French and Spanish.

Doctorat de création Expression artistique et littéraire spécialité bande dessinée

Practice-based PhD Artistic and literary expression in comic art

Resulting from a partnership between the University of Poitiers and the European School of Visual Arts, the practice-based PhD Artistic and literary expression in comic art is open to all candidates with a Master’s degree / DNSEP from higher education institutions, whose subject is based both on a strong artistic practice in the field of comic art, narrative drawing (or any experimental form in this field) and theoretical research. The thesis, prepared at the University of Poitiers and the ÉESI (based on the existing partnership at the Master’s in comic art level), is subject to the methodological and quantitative requirements of a doctorate but supplemented by elements that attest to an artistic practice-based research.

ILES, Images Liquides : Écritures et Systèmes

The research-creation programme in Comic art Liquid Images: Scriptures and Systems (ILES) addresses the field of contemporary comic art through the prism of visual arts. The contemporary comic art, hybrid in essence, involves a transdisciplinary, aesthetic, poetic, plastic, philosophical, cognitive, anthropological approach. The seminar ILES is open to doctoral students in comic art, artists and writers related to the programme and to graduate students at the ÉESI.

Cahiers du Post-diplôme « Document et Art contemporain » : each year, the postgraduate programme publishes an ensemble of documents relating to the different research being done in the form of a review. Artists from the programme and the year’s guests (artists, producers, curators, theoreticians) participate in the publication.
Pratiquer : a collection created and directed by Sabrina Grassi-Fossier of artists, authors and theoreticians writing on their work.

Lectures, conferences, study trips, exhibitions and workshops.
The school was featured in the 2011 Rencontres Henri Langlois in Poitiers.
Participation in numerous festivals.
Regular relationships with the Poitou-Charentes FRAC, the theaters of Angoulême and Poitiers (national stages), The council of the museums of Poitou-Charentes, The National Conservatory of the region. Conferences with the universities of Poitiers and La Rochelle; exhibitions and prizes in the context of the International festival of Comic Strip art (Angoulême); relationships with the Maison des auteurs (Angoulême) and the Espace Mendès-France and the Confort moderne (Poitiers).
Realization of projects of research and creation under contract with the various French and foreign institutions (including the scientific council of the Delegation for the Visual Arts of the European Commission).

Postgraduate research-creation residencies

In the context of the professionalisation of students, the ÉESI wished to open art residencies abroad to the graduates of June 2018.The implementation of a research-creation scholarship programme within the ÉESI is the result of a common finding in the major French art schools, namely the difficulty that most young artists have to develop their creative work, to show their work to the public and more broadly to get in contact with art professionals. For this first edition, three destinations have been selected thus giving the opportunity to three selected graduates, one by destination, to experience a first art residency abroad for a duration of 3 months in Fall 2018. The residencies were chosen for the quality of their activities and their location in line with the artistic orientations of the ÉESI:

– La Cúpula, multidisciplinary art center in Mérida, Mexico, in partnership with the Yucatán School of Fine Arts (ESAY)
– InterAccess, non-profit gallery, educationalfacility, production studio, and festival dedicated to emerging practices in art and technology located in Toronto, Canada
– Can Serrat, artistic residency in El Bruc, Catalonia, which brings togetheran international community of visual artists, writers and musicians who share,mix, coexist and create in a common space.

International openness is one of the priorities of the school strategy. Mobility is a flagship project which is developed in the long term and tends to structure pedagogy more and more.

This international openness, based on the evaluation of existing partnerships as well as on the prospection of new exchange partners, makes it possible to send students, teachers and non-teaching staff abroad and, conversely, to welcome students and art professionals within the school.

“Scenes of excellence” are favored for all these exchanges. Indeed, according to each practice taught at the school, there are reference places most often located in cities with a particularly dynamic artistic scene.

As part of their Master’s programme, all fourth-year students are going abroad for a semester. Their destination is chosen based on the criteria stated above and according to their personal projects.

The school keeps abreast of the state of creation on the different continents, currently with a predominance of Europe, North America and Asia.

New partnerships are being established with structures located in South America (Argentina, Mexico, etc.) and on the African continent (Senegal in particular).

Drawing workshop

Observational drawing with life models, or still life experimenting various techniques and tools such as: charcoal, chalk, ink, watercolor, etc.
The notions addressed are – study of proportions- relationship with scale – relationship with space – notions of full and empty – working on movement – different moments when sketching – the search for a personal writing.
During each session, a certain number of these exercises, or variations thereof are done, each student appropriating them according to their own rhythm, level of skills and expectations.

Painting workshop

The classes are interested in all forms of expression and take different mediums into account: poster paint, watercolor, oil. The classes are underpinned by the issues of contemporary painting.
Aspects such as the theory of color, composition, form and the relationship with scale are dealt with all throughout the year. Matter and space are the subject of specific sessions and serve as a jumping off point for observation of the real, so as to then be developed in a more unique way.
Subjects are chosen so as to work water based techniques (water color, acrylic, poster paint) in addition to oil and the preparation of media (canvas, wood, paper); The objective is to allow each person to develop a personal writing while studying the tech and history of painting.

Forms of social innovation – Design Research Unit

By “social innovation” we mean the interaction between creation and the social field. Because it aims to favor the well being of individuals and collectivities as much as possible, but also its “non-standard” nature, often led by unique actors, social innovation appears as a creative value, of which design can be the vector. Thus the posture of the designer is similar to that of the “social innovator”, touching ways of life, of production and of uses.
The Formes de l’Innovation Sociale research unit aims to federate and structure the actions, programmes and teaching in the ESAD that are linked to this issue, on a regional and international level. It takes the side of investing the field of design in its multidisciplinary openness and its transversality (object and graphic/multimedia). The idea is to secure that which is unique in Design research in the ESAD of Reims, without losing the precise nature of its specialities: Art, Culinary Design and Plant Design are the subject of distinct research.

Art et Philosophie

Since 2010, the “Art and Philosophy” study days have been organized in partnership with the Philosophy department of the Literary Studies and Humanities UFR of the Université de Reims Champagne-Ardenne. They result in a common publication of the proceedings by Epure editions.
2010 : L’oeil et l’esprit. Merleau-Ponty between art and philosophy
2013: Discussions between art and philosophy. Languages and images with Gilles Deleuze.
2014: Re-appropriation in art – Pitfalls of author’s rights and the power of the fake in the era of Open Source.

Artist Run Spaces

Artist Run Spaces is a general research theme backed by the Master’s in Art of the ESAD. It hypothesizes a particular economy of production – that of Artist Run Spaces, as a possible matrix of a pedagogical and collaborative platform. How, through the analysis of the means that it has at its disposal and the means that it engages, can this functioning be a possible model for production in art? How and why can these modes of (auto-) production generate collaborative forms? To what extent can the formats of experiences be models of transmission? In other words, how can the observation of a particular structure – where domestic space is mixed with artistic activity, and the identity is distinct from that of a gallery or an institution to favor the exhibition as form, can it be the subject of a productive, constructive and even pedagogical research? This programme is put together with institutional partners, mainly international in origin (Goldsmiths College, London, SIAC of Chicago, Dar Al Munian in Morocco, etc.).

Banquet Scientique

After Paris at the 104 and Marseille at the Friche Belle de Mai, the Banquet Scientifique has moved to Reims.
The Banquet Scientifique is a stage concept offering the sharing of knowledge and flavors at the same time and in the same place.
This concept comes from a thinking on systems that favor transmission and on forms that can be given to such thinking. It is at the same time a culinary design performance and an interdisciplinary, and international, symposium that aims to question the modalities of academic research all the while providing a sensitive experience participants and audience.
The propositions take the form of oral communication, performances and visual oeuvres: designers, performers, visual artists, essay writers, musicians, philosophers and poets meet to speak about them or sing, theorize, dance, show or smell within the freedom given by the flavors of a feast.
Students from the culinary design workshop of the ESAD of Reims (class of 2013/2014) imagine the set design system that will allow for links to made between knowledge and discovery, pleasures of the eye and the mouth. Those of the Lycée des Métiers Gustave Eiffel prepare the meal. Participants enjoy a scientific experience similar to a symposium and an esthetic experience engaging sensitivity and perception. In 2013, the first two editions of the banquet had the theme of “Pillage and Waste”, one in the 104 in Paris, the other in the Friche de la Belle de Mai of Marseille (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxifTGeqSUA).

Lecture cycles dedicated to design and contemporary art. «Flash theory» themed days. International encounters of art and design.
“Folle” week: week long workshops bringing together designers, guest artists and all of the school’s students.
Participation in professional trade fairs and exhibitions: International food fair, Paris (Culinary design); Furniture trade fair, object (Object design); Designers Days, Paris.

Réseau DELAPEINTURE (The DELAPEINTURE network)

This research, centered on the contemporary issues and practices of painting, carried out by the Grenoble-Valence ESAD, was put together in 2010 with a 16 member research team; today, a dozen research and teaching organizations (1) in France and abroad continue to contribute to the development of this project, around the three initial issues:
– Painting: an object for considering the world. How does painting participate in the production of new codes, new specific models that take their place in our relationship with the contemporary world? In the tumult of pictorial practices and the connection with other art practices, what are the forms, processes and materials that painters use in the their current practice?
– Spaces and contexts of painting today. This second issue concerns the articulation between forms and context, and the strategies of painters in spaces of presentation and exhibition. It also questions the capacity of painting to continue the debate around the place of the spectator, starting from its inherent conditions.
– Local, global – the territories of painting. This issue questions the territory of painting on at least two levels; on a global level that is expressed in the constant flow of exchange, images and cultures; and on a local level which can be seen as much in the training provided by schools as in artistic circles. What is the role of artists, of their grouping in local scenes in a globalized context?

Post-diplôme Design & Recherche

Created in 1989, the Design and Research postgraduate course of the ESADSE is a place for experimentation, thinking and elaboration of projects based on a wide ranging and diversified vision of design. It operates simultaneously as a laboratory for creation, an incubator for projects and a research center. It is geared towards graduates of higher schools of art and design, to doctoral students and active designers. Among the tools at its disposal is the review Azimuts, an editorial asset designed and produced by student-researchers. The postgraduate programme is open to holders of a BAC +5 or professionals with at least 5 years of experience in the design field.

IRD Le laboratoire Images – Récits – Documents (Laboratory for Images-Stories-Documents)

These three terms define the field of research within the Laboratoire
Images_Récits_Documents. The laboratory does not specify one single subject of research, its title communicates a desire to approach a field so as to consider its limits. The research operates on the exposition of logic between the three terms and does not pretend to exhaust the logic and issues contained in the image. The goal is for the IRD laboratory to measure and understand the modalities of the image in its current relationship with the real according to the determinations of the story as a field of production for the narrative staging of reality and according to its objective presentation (the document).
The IRD laboratory defines its general approach to research as theorized practice. The research questions the processes and procedures of the image: the field of research that is opened is that of imagenization. Practice is not the result of a preceding theory, it is thought of in terms of successive experiments allowing for the production of concepts. The object of the “image” is thus built within an approach wherein practice does not validate or overturn a hypothetical condition but where it is already a theoretical approach to the image that conditions the conditions of its appearance. The distribution-publishing is then a space of experimentation where the validity of concepts is determined.
The relationship with images currently concerns Art just as much as it does Design. The problematic axes deal with the sensitive visual and visible deployments and have the aim of understanding the place of images if the field of practices. Though the idea is to understand the redistribution of their production and uses, the idea is also to experiment with newer techniques of production of images and to understand how they are determined in, and through, the representation of an ideology. These questions then serve in the construction of unique and original images, integrating the transformation of the relationship of images to other practices of formulation and formalization of the world.
The IRD laboratory team: Kader Mokaddem, Jean-Claude Paillasson, Maurice Coussirat.

LEM The Laboratory for experimenting modernities

Since 1863, succeeding each other as methods of historical and theoretical reading of art have been modernity, the avant-gardes, modernism and postmodernity. But where are we now? Are we still modern? Have the avant-gardes really disappeared? Is modernism still appropriate? Are we all still soluble in all-in postmodernism? Or, has contemporary art defined a new mode that is unique to it? The Modernité(s) laboratory proposes to consider some of the questions being asked here, not for the simple pleasure of discussing the number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin, but to attempt to rethink our contemporaneity and that which is at stake for its main actors, those that we train: artists.
LEM team: Karim Ghaddab, Denis Laget and Éric Suchère
Associated researcher : Romain Mathieu

The RANDOM laboratory (lab)

The RANDOM (lab) of the Digital section of the ESADSE is a research space dedicated to experimentation in art, design and newer media. Set up in 2011, it proposes to follow a unique path between practice and theory.
In addition to being a resource center, and a work space allowing the creation of electronic installations, the RANDOM (lab) provides access to an “arduinothèque” made up of a selection of arduino systems and associable extensions. Students can in this way have a rapid and direct contact with this type of interface, so as to pass quickly from designing to modeling projects that incorporate electronics. Students associated with RANDOM (lab) also benefit from the range of software (3D, 2D, etc.) and materials (3D printer, digital printing…) available in the Digital section so as to best run the technical aspect of their projects.
Team: Damien Baïs, François Brument, David-Olivier Lartigaud.

Training centers for participating visual artists

A space for thinking, experimentation and exchange of knowledge, the Haute école des arts du Rhin (HEAR) is one of the training centers for participating visual artists that has been certified by the Minister for Culture and Communication.
Its goal is to provide a complimentary training to artistic practice, based on the acquisition of didactical skills and capacities for thought applied to contemporary creation.
Provided in Strasbourg, the 280 hour training is to be understood as a preparation for interventions, on the basis of a unique practical experience, with diverse audiences in various contexts: scholastic, extra-curricular, prison, hospital, associative and cultural services.
The CFPI brings together interns coming from diverse origins: young graduates, professional artists, participants, teaching assistants, etc.
Since its inception more than a hundred artists, both from France and adjacent countries, have followed this training.

Visual Communication

From 2013 – 2014 the Haute école des arts du Rhin incorporated a research unit, Visual Communication, backed up by three research programmes (Didactique tangible, De traits et d’esprit, Lignes de front).
Coming from a long tradition of engraving and the printed book in the upper Rhine and from a school of applied arts created in 1892, the Communication option of the Haute école des arts du Rhin is built around three workshops that develop original objects and share the same pedagogy: the graphic communication workshop, the illustration workshop and the visual didactics workshop.
The major axes of research in the option are articulated around evolutions as reformulations of reading practices. Visual communication is little investigated, ill theorized and neglected by the major currents of contemporary visual thought in art schools. This has generated a nonsensical situation: our societies produce more and more images, and yet we have, for the most part, become unable to properly read the world of graphic signs that surround us.

De traits et d’esprit (Of wit)

This programme studies the current state and history of illustration by identifying present and future issues beginning with the steps of its evolution and the conceptual challenges that it has faced since its origins. The laboratory is also involved in contemporary production by inducing specific teaching and graphic experiments.
Co-ordination: Guillaume DÉGÉ & Olivier DELOIGNON

Didactique tangible – Convergences et interactions entre art et sciences (Tangible didactics – Convergence and interactions between art and science)

Involving French and foreign partners, Didactique tangible is concerned with the study of the convergence and interactions between art and science. It questions didactic systems from classical antiquity to the contemporary epoch through the study of different media and the possibilities offered by each of them for the transmission of knowledge through the image. It also claims an applied and experimental dimension of research led by creators and practitioners of the field under study.
Co-ordination: Olivier PONCER

Espaces sonores / Sound spaces

Bringing together the teams working in the field of sound arts in the HEAR, this programme studies the artistic, cultural and social ramifications of the relationships between sound and space since the advent of modernism, and creates new tools that are both practical and theoretical, so as to better understand, analyze and apprehend them in a critical manner. A first report will be presented as part of the main section of the third issue of TACET, the peer reviewed research publication published by the HEAR in 2014.
Coordination : Yvan ÉTIENNE, Bertrand GAUGUET, Philippe LEPEUT, Joachim MONTESSUIS and Matthieu SALADIN.

Exhibition catalogues, artists books, annual degree catalogue, conference proceedings, lectures (Confer collection), prints and posters.

Seminars, lectures, workshops, video projection cycles, exhibitions, study trips. Numerous invited participants and artists in residencies.

L’Observatoire

The reinforcing and structuring of a research unit ensures long term research activity in the Pyrénées ESA. The five research programmes supported by the Observatoire research unit are based, firstly, on artistic creation, ceramics, graphic design and multimedia and secondly, on the exploration of other fields of knowledge, from the humanities to the sciences. Its programmes favor the emergence and consolidation of the personal project of future graduate artists and designers of the Pyrénées ÉSA. They aim to create a research environment associating teaching, production and distribution. With this goal in mind they maintain a close dialogue with other research centers that, in the territory or on a national and international level are interested by the themes being considered. An operational, observational laboratory, this unit encourages the confrontation of different approaches to creation, in the perspective of developing an intelligibility from the sensitive and in the sensitive.

Sagacious events, projections, lectures, performances (10 to 12 sessions per year); a partnership with the Bel Ordinaire, a space for contemporary art of the greater community of Pau – Pyrénées, the Parvis center for contemporary art of Tarbes-Ibos, with the FRAC collection Aquitaine, the Image-Imatge association, the Accès(s)s de création contemporaine association, the subsidized Espace Pluriels-scène dance-theater, The inter-commune cultural section of the ancient abattoirs, the Centrifugeuse, the cultural department of the Université de Pau et des Pays de l’Adour.
A “beyond the walls” workshop in La Bisbal, Spain, Voyages, exhibitions, various partnerships (art and industry).

Amateur classes for children, adolescents and adults, on the Pau and Tarbes sites.

The École supérieure d’art des Pyrénées — Pau Tarbes is naturally turned towards the Iberian peninsula. Numerous student and teacher exchanges have resulted from this proximity. However, connections woven with other countries also enhance the proposed pedagogy. Each year the school increases its international reputation through the development of numerous partnerships with foreign art schools and institutions.
The Pyrénées ÉSA sends and receives term students to and from England and Belgium.
Also, the school hosts 32 foreign students: 1 German, 2 Spanish, 3 Belgian, 1 English, 17 Chinese, 3 Korean (People’s Democratic Republic), 1 Japanese, 1 Algerian, 2 Iranian, 1 Colombian.
