In addition, each of the participating galleries showcase one of its artists within a major exhibition curated by Alfred Pacquement, in collaboration with a group of students of the Beaux-Arts de Paris brought together by Jean-Luc Vilmouth, director of the Department of studies. The former director of the Musée national d’art moderne, Alfred Pacquement was also the director of the Beaux-Arts de Paris from 1996 to 2000. The Choices exhibition open to the public (free admission) on Saturday 30th and Sunday 31st in the Ecole’s Palais des Études.
