A perspective on contemporary video and multimedia creation through the various works produced by students and invited artists-professors for the 16th edition of the “Panorama“ program
at Le Fresnoy, curated by Matthieu Orléan.
Open to advanced students since 1997, Le Fresnoy – Studio national des arts contemporains is a hub for teaching, production, and distribution dedicated to digital imagery, sound, and art. Every year, with the support and guidance of visiting artists/professors (filmmakers, sculptors, composers, choreographers, photographers, etc.), each student has to produce a work under professional conditions for presentation in the end-of-year exhibition,
Panorama. This event has developed into a real showcase for young artists breaking onto the national and international contemporary art scenes.
This catalogue documents in words and pictures works produced by two intakes of students and shown at the sixteenth
Panorama, as well as pieces by the visiting artists/professors for the year 2013-2014: Jean-Claude Brisseau,
Bernard Faucon, Robert Henke (Monolake),
Bertrand Lamarche, Thomas McIntosh,
Ben Rivers.
