    OPENING RECEPTION WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 5-7 P.M.

    THE BOOK

    Exhibition of sculptures by French artist Elisabeth Raphaël, East Gallery, Buell Hall

    Following the opening reception, the exhibition will be on view October 23-November 21, 12-5 p.m., and during evening events

    Elisabeth Raphaël’s fourteen sculptures exhibited at the Columbia Maison Française draw their inspiration from a reading of the Tanakh - the Hebrew Bible - but other books can be imagined too in these works. Each sculpture contains an ancient Hebrew text stamped on fragile leaves made of bone china. Some leaves are hidden between minimalist clay blocks. Other leaves are caressed by hands of wrapped textile.

    Elisabeth Raphaël lives and works in Paris. Her works have been exhibited in France, Belgium, Israel, the United Kingdom and China. She won the Grand Prix of the International Biennale of Vallauris in 2012. Her sculptures and installations are represented in the Magnelli Museum of Vallauris, the Museum of Châteauroux and t

  • Jean-Daniel Lorieux Seducing the Lens

  • Oct 29, 2014 to Dec 6, 2014
  • Location: FIAF Gallery
  • Description:

    The Art of Sex and Seduction enters the gallery with striking portraits that are as erotic as they are sleek. A master of his craft, Jean-Daniel Lorieux’s work for the likes of Vogue, Dior, andLanvin has turned fashion photography into sensual iconography.

    Lorieux’s camera acts as a third eye, focusing on what is most exquisite in the world. He captures idealized images of women, glorifying them from dawn to dusk. Splendid, ethereal, and statuesque, these women inhabit a world created by Lorieux’s lens.

  • Six Characters in Search of an Author

  • Oct 29, 2014 at 3:30pm to Nov 2, 2014 at 10:00am
  • Location: BAM Harvey Theater
  • Description:

    Théâtre de la Ville, Paris 
    By Luigi Pirandello 
    Translation and adaptation by François Regnault
    Directed by Emmanuel Demarcy-Mota

    An identity crisis for the theater itself, Luigi Pirandello’s 1921 epitome of absurdism is a masterpiece of blurred dramatic lines, brought cleverly to life in this production from director Emmanuel Demarcy-Mota and Théâtre de la Ville, Paris.

    A dysfunctional family of six interrupts the rehearsal of a play to make a curious claim: They are characters who’ve been abandoned by their author and are seeking a theater troupe to give them an artful sense of completion. On a spare set, portrayers and portrayed begin to overlap, as fiction and reality follow suit. The result is a beguiling tragedy that turns notions of authorship and agency on their heads while offering humanity critical insight into its own selectively scribed existence.

  • CONFERENCE: Alexandre Koyré: Transatlantic Perspectives

  • Nov 2, 2014 to Nov 3, 2014
  • Location: La Maison Française of NYU
  • Description:

    The Center for International Research in the Humanities and the Social Sciences (CIRHUS, CNRS - NYU)

    This symposium commemorates the 50th anniversary of Koyré’s death by focusing on his legacy in the United States. In the 1950s and 1960s, pioneers of the history of science such as Thomas S. Kuhn, I. B. Cohen, Marshall Clagett, Gérald Holton or Charles Gillispie all admitted his influence on the discipline. The participants will discuss Koyré’s impact on the American intellectual landscape and the reception of his ideas among the historians and philosophers who sought to professionalize the teaching of the history of science in the United States.

    Organized by CIRHUS in partnership with La Maison Française, with the support of the Gallatin School and NYU Global Research Initiatives.
