The exhibition, produced by Sarina Basta, presents the work of students, artists who graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Paris and guest artists who place pedagogy at the heart of their artistic practice or use pedagogical language and its representation as form, such as John Baldessari, Joseph Beuys or Martha Rosler...
A section is devoted to Josef Albers, featuring a selection of works and works produced with his students at different periods of his teaching career at Bauhaus, Black Mountain College and Yale.
Another set, Saisies du réel, brings together works and educational objects from the Fine Arts collection, from the 16th century to the present day.

This exhibition highlights works whose state of completion proves to be ambiguous, because outside of any constraint of finitude: they are situated between study, commentary or demonstration, as in the works of Robert Filliou or Mladen Stilinovic. In this open field, the measuring tool attains the status of an object of art and meditation, as in the recent work of Benoît Maire, the skinned attributed to Michelangelo or the anonymous casts presented in Saisies du réel.
Repetition and re-creation are two operating modes explored by the exhibition. The first, re-creation or (re)creation, is sometimes associated with the traditional practice of copying (plaster casts or master copies). The idea of ​​repetition is expressed by the academic belief that the repetition of a gesture would make it possible to achieve virtuosity or mastery. The exhibition is dedicated to these specific modes of production, updating them to examine them in a contemporary approach.

Transmission, recreation and repetition explores the various positions of artists in relation to transmission, as much through technical gestures as in the constitution of the figure of the artist.
Transmission celebrates the driving forces of the School, underlines the specificity of the Fine Arts while paying tribute to the artists whose artistic practice takes pedagogy as its form and which reflects the subjectivity of the student. It aims to introduce the public to works rarely exhibited and gathered around a theme that is at the very heart of the Beaux-Arts in Paris, its history of yesterday, today and tomorrow.
