Qu’est-ce que faire une critique d’art ?

Workshop presented by esse.

This workshop invites participants to explore criticism itself: what it does, how it works, and the various stances we can take when engaging with art. We’ll consider personal response alongside historical context, examining how emotion, taste, and broader cultural frameworks all shape critical discourse.

We’ll begin with one or two individuals recognized for their expertise, offering live commentary on selected works from the exhibition. Their responses will launch a broader conversation about the nature of criticism:

• What are its principles of rigor?
• How can we avoid falling into the trap of purely personal judgment?
• What responsibilities does this entail?
• How should we structure our comments?

This activity will be held in French.

As places are limited, registration is required.
