The Nuitdes Musées 2024 is an opportunity to conquer the cultural sites of Paris and the Île-de-France region and enjoy free night-time visits, often accompanied byspecial or even unusualevents. This cultural event takes place every spring, and this year's date is Saturday, May 18, 2024. Museums, monuments, cultural centers and art foundations all play their part, offering us a wonderful program.
The Canadian Cultural Centre (CCC ), located in the prestigious 8tharrondissement of Paris, was inaugurated in 1970 and celebrates its 54th anniversary this year. Since its creation, its mission has been to promote and disseminate Canadian culture in France, by organizing exhibitions, conferences, film screenings and shows. Housed in a 19th-century mansion, theHôtel de Caumont, the CCC is a haven of peace and culture, opening onto a formal garden, inviting visitors to stroll and enjoy the works of art on display.
Once again this year, the Canadian Cultural Centre is proud to take part in the 20th edition of European Museum Night!
Composition pour un ensemble, ou L'Esprit des Jeux: exhibition open to the public from 6pm to 11pm (last admission at 10pm) Bodies in Motion: a program of films on art will be screened at 7pm and 8:30pm
Clive Holden - Composition pour un ensemble, ou L'Esprit des Jeux
Clive Holden is interested in the representation of celebrity and fame, the conditioning of our gaze in relation to these types of images, and the gaze of his fellow photographers and filmmakers.
With its central projection specifically designed for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the exhibition consists of a digital, video and photographic installation combining a previously unseen commission, "UNSUNG", with other works by the artist that provide a conceptual context for the commission. The artist works from archival footage of past Olympic and Paralympic Games. The spectacular images of athletic gestures, the dramatic potential of faces, are staged, looped, mixed and transformed to create visual rhymes.
Curators: Catherine Bédard and Steven Bulger
With the support of the Canadian Paralympic Committee and the National Film Board of Canada.
