Alaïa Avant Alaïa
La Genèse d'un style

"At the time I was not showing collections, I made couture for clients. He didn’t ask me many questions. He understood and analyzed." Azzedine Alaïa

“Alaïa Avant Alaïa” is an unprecedented and original exhibition, conceived and produced by the Foundation wanted by the designer some years before his death. Through archive documents, photographs and drawings, the exhibition analyses the formative years between the 1950s, just before the budding couturier would leave Tunis and move to Paris, to the early 1980s and the emergence of the Alaïa phenomenon. A rigorous selection of pieces from the beginning of his career, a selection of designs that revealed to the public something far beyond a singular style, a founding body of work dating from the late 1970s dialogues with timeless clothes, truly an intimate map of his eternal sources of inspiration.

Having long been marginalised and discriminated against, both in terms of their training and their access to galleries, collectors and museums, women artists in the first half of the 20th century nevertheless played an essential role in the development of the major artistic movements of our times, even if this was not acknowledged during their lifetime. It is only recently that their role in the avant-gardes has been explored; indeed, it stands to reason that once these women’s role is properly recognised, these movements will be transformed.

This exhibition invites us to reinstate them in this changing history of art, from Fauvism to abstraction via Cubism, Dada and Surrealism, but also in the worlds of architecture, dance, design, literature and fashion, as well as scientific discovery. Their visual and conceptual explorations attest to their audacity and courage in the face of established conventions that confined women within certain professions and stereotypes. They express, in many different ways, a desire to redefine the role of women in the modern world. Through the many upheavals of the early 20th century, a number of key women artists began to emerge. Their number increased after the Russian Revolution and the First World War, which intensified challenges to the patriarchal model for practical, political and social reasons. Women gained more power and visibility and artists gave these pioneers a face that actually represented them.

On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of his death, the Cinémathèque Française celebrates the icon with an exhibition. Forty years after her death, Romy Schneider (September 23, 1938-May 29, 1982) is still just as well-liked and popular. The European actress started her career in Germany and continued in France, becaming a star thanks to films that forever marked the history of cinema, alongside Alain Cavalier, Claude Sautet, Luchino Visconti, and Orson Welles.

The exhibition is the first at the Cinémathèque Française to be dedicated to an actress, and also shows how Romy Schneider's career wrote a page in the history of the cinema at this time and that of the great filmmakers around the world, whether French, American, Italian, German, Austrian.

Antoni Gaudí (1852-1926), architect and ingenious creator, made his mark on Spain at the turn of the 20th century and continues to fascinate today. For the first time in fifty years in France, a large-scale exhibition is devoted to this master of Art Nouveau. It shows the remarkable creativity of this singular artist, who was the bearer of the upheavals at work in Catalonia at the end of the 19th century, and who expressed himself as much in the details of his furniture as in the scale of an extraordinary architectural project: the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona.
