EuroFabrique

From 7 to 10 February 2022, under the leadership of the French Presidency of the European Union, the Grand Palais Éphémère presents EuroFabrique.

 

In 2020, the Rmn - Grand Palais turned the Nave of the Grand Palais into a workshop for artist Franck Scurti in order to respond to the pandemic. The Rmn - Grand Palais then accommodated Anselm Kiefer's Pour Paul Celan exhibition in the Grand Palais Éphémère. This exhibition was conceived as a workshop to continue Kiefer's reflection on the cultural and political memory of Europe, and took place under the leadership of the FPEU. Now the Rmn - Grand Palais will transform the Grand Palais Éphémère into a workshop of a new kind: created with the École des Arts Décoratifs and the Association nationale des écoles supérieures d’art (ANdEA), EuroFabrique is a giant European school of art and design in a 10,000 sq m space, a workshop and laboratory designed to encourage reflection on the idea of Europe, bringing together the energy and creativity of artists and designers from all over Europe.  

 

For four days, 400 students from French and European art schools (including art, design, cinema, theatre and music schools) are invited to reflect on the continent they live on. What does it mean to be European today? How can we ensure Europe remains an attractive and world-connected environment? Which principles and relationships are most important? If Europe is a project, how can we re-energise it? These questions will be at the heart of EuroFabrique.
