“Christofle” Une brillante histoireau MAD, musée des Arts Décoratifs, Parisdu 14 novembre 2024 au 20 avril 2025Entretien avec Astrid Grange, assistante de conservation Collections XIXe siècle – Art nouveau, et co-commissaire l'exposition,par Anne-Frédérique Fer, à Paris, le 16 décembre 2024, durée 30'04,© FranceFineArt.https://francefineart.com/2024/12/22/3583_christofle_musee-des-arts-decoratifs/Communiqué de presseCommissaire :Audrey Gay-Mazuel, conservatrice du patrimoine Collections XIXe siècle – Art nouveauassistée de Astrid Grange, assistante de conservation Collections XIXe siècle – Art nouveauDu 14 novembre 2024 au 20 avril 2025, le musée des Arts décoratifs met à l'honneur les créations et le savoir-faire d'excellence de la prestigieuse maison d'orfèvrerie Christofle en organisant une grande exposition dédiée à cette manufacture française riche de près de deux cents ans d'histoire. Des années 1830 à nos jours, cette lignée d'orfèvres, initiée par Charles Christofle et Henri Bouilhet, a métamorphosé les formes et les décors de l'argent pour les diffuser dans la vie quotidienne. Associé aux plus grands designers et créateurs de mode tels que Gio Ponti, Andrée Putman, Karl Lagerfeld et Pharrell Williams, Christofle est un laboratoire artistique qui révolutionne l'orfèvrerie traditionnelle en renouvelant ses usages et en la parant de couleurs et de décors inédits.De la petite cuillère de table aux vases monumentaux des expositions universelles, près de 1000 pièces d'orfèvrerie, bijoux, tableaux, dessins et affiches, retracent l'extraordinaire destin de cette maison patrimoniale. « Christofle. Une brillante histoire », dont le commissariat est assuré par Audrey Gay-Mazuel, conservatrice du patrimoine en charge des collections XIXe siècle – Art nouveau, est présentée dans les galeries Christine & Stephen A. Schwarzman, dans une scénographie spectaculaire mettant en lumière les coulisses du métier d'orfèvre et les fastueuses tables de légende.Bijoutier de formation, Charles Christofle a révolutionné l'orfèvrerie dès 1842 en développant des techniques novatrices alliant chimie et électricité pour argenter ou dorer des métaux non précieux. Grâce à ces nouveaux procédés, il a pu rendre accessibles des services de table autrefois réservés aux élites. Près de deux siècles plus tard, Christofle continue de bousculer les codes, s'immisçant dans notre quotidien pour transformer les objets les plus communs, comme des consoles de jeux vidéo, des gobelets à café ou des boîtes à chaussures, en véritables pièces de design.L'exposition s'ouvre sur une mise en scène spectaculaire de l'apport de Christofle au monde des arts décoratifs. Restituant l'atmosphère des manufactures Christofle, successivement installées à Paris, à Saint Denis, et aujourd'hui en Normandie, le visiteur est ensuite plongé dans les coulisses des secrets des procédés d'argenture et de dorure, mais aussi de la fabrication d'une fourchette. La reconstitution d'un atelier d'orfèvre, mêlant outils traditionnels et dispositifs numériques, dévoile la virtuosité de ce métier d'art.Trois salles sont dédiées aux chefsd'œuvre que Christofle a présentés aux Expositions universelles, de 1851 à 1925. Couronnée de médailles d'or à chaque événement, la maison n'a cessé d'innover, créant des pièces monumentales et spectaculaires ornées de couleurs vives et de motifs incarnant les tendances les plus avant-gardistes, du japonisme à l'Art déco.[...] Hébergé par Acast.

StoryShot #1: Don't Be Afraid to Be Ambitious and Go for GoldAs a philanthropist and business executive, Schwarzman has https://www.blackstone.com/people/stephen-a-schwarzman-2/ (achieved outstanding success). He points out that he always pushed the envelope when seizing new opportunities. He also emphasizes the difference between small and big goals.  Both small and big goals take effort, time, and commitment. Why work towards a smaller goal when you can drive that same effort to accomplish a big one? “It's as hard to start and run a small business as it is to start a big one. You will suffer the same toll financially and psychologically as you bludgeon it into existence. It's hard to raise the money and to find the right people. So if you're going to dedicate your life to a business, which is the only way it will ever work, you should choose one with the potential to be huge.” - Stephen A. Schwarzman But remember that there are consequences for having these grand ambitions. Some ideas may fail, but you shouldn't let that discourage you. Look at it this way: imagine spending one week working on a task that is a part of what you do every day. In other words, you are already expected to do that task. On the other hand, your coworker tells you they've been working on something that is out of the box. But there's no assurance they'll succeed.  If your coworker succeeds, they will get a promotion for being creative. Meanwhile, even if you succeed, you won't receive the promotion as you did nothing out of the ordinary. This is an obvious case where the upside is potentially unlimited while the downside is capped. It's a lesson...

Notably, the Inflation Reduction Act didn't attract a single Republican vote in the Senate. (And at least one Democratic senator — Kyrsten Sinema — made sure its tax provisions wouldn't raise tax rates on rich individuals.) Why? We talk a lot about money in politics, but there's a huge and growing difference between the big money (campaign donations of $1 million or more), most of it pouring into Republican coffers and small money (individual donations of $200 or less), mainly pouring into the Democrats. (Corporations have been giving to both sides, in roughly equal measure.)The significance of this difference is growing. With the midterms elections looming, the gap between the two sources is larger than ever. Democrats are far outpacing Republicans in small-dollar donations. The most recent reports (through June 30) show, for example, that: — In Georgia, incumbent Senator Raphael Warnock has raised $14 million in small donations; Republican senate candidate Herschel Walker has raised only about $8 million in small donations. — In Florida, Val Demings, the Democratic challenger to Senator Marco Rubio, has raised more than $24 million in small donations; Rubio himself has reported $12.7 million in small donations. — In Arizona, Democratic Senator Mark Kelly's re-election campaign has raised nearly $23 million from small-dollar donors. His GOP challenger, Blake Masters, less than $2 million from small donors. But the GOP's big money donors are making up the difference.— Billionaire Peter Thiel has so far poured over $25 million into the races of Blake Masters in Arizona and J.D. Vance in Ohio. — Kenneth C. Griffin, the CEO of giant hedge fund Citadel, is bankrolling Republican super PACs to the tune of nearly $50 million. — Stephen A. Schwarzman, chairman of giant hedge fund Blackstone, has so far contributed a combined $20 million to the main House and Senate Republican super PAC. — Banking heir Timothy Mellon (descendant of the robber baron Andrew Mellon) has so far contributed $10 million to the main House GOP super PAC.— Ditto billionaire Patrick R. Ryan. — Miriam Adelson (whose husband, Sheldon Adelson, was one of the GOP's most generous contributors until his death last year) just made her first $5 million donation. The list goes on. — And, of course, Rupert Murdoch, Charles Koch, et al. Small donors are ramping up their giving to Democrats because they're aware of how nuts the Republican Party has become on issues ranging from abortion to democracy. Trump has pulled into the GOP white supremacists, Christian nationalists, QAnon paranoids, xenophobic cultists, antisemites, misogynists, and rightwing militias. Plus a StarWars cantina of grifters, crackpots, and thugs who — as the January 6 attack showed — pose a clear and present danger to American democracy. Big donors are ramping up their giving to Republicans because they now have so much money that any Democratic-led tax increase on them (or Republican-led tax cut for them) will invariably have large financial consequences. The Inflation Reduction Act reveals just how much damage Democrats could do to the bottom lines of the rich.Many big donor billionaires (e.g., Peter Thiel) are trying to justify their donations as “libertarian,” but they know damn well the current Republican Party has nothing to do with personal freedom. It's busy intruding on reproductive rights, pushing book bans in libraries and classrooms, barring young transgender people from playing on certain sports teams or using certain bathrooms, refusing to allow teachers to talk about aspects of American history they don't want young people to know, and actively suppressing votes. Liberty my foot. No, the billionaires aren't libertarian. They want only one thing: more tax cuts.The extraordinary growth of small donors to Democrats is all about justifiable fears of what Republicans will do with more power. The growth in big dollars to Republicans is all about greed. What do you think? This is a public episode.

Part of the Humanities Cultural Programme, one of the founding stones for the future Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities. In his autobiography, The Life and Rhymes of Benjamin Zephaniah (2018), award-winning poet, lyricist, musician, and activist Benjamin Zephaniah speaks out candidly about the writer's responsibility to step outside the medium of literature and engage in political activism: “You can't just be a poet or writer and say your activism is simply writing about these things; you have to do something as well, especially if your public profile can be put to good use.” In conversation with Elleke Boehmer and Malachi McIntosh, he will address the complex relationship of authorship and activism in a celebrity-driven media culture and the ways in which his celebrity persona relates to his activist agenda. The conversation will tie in with contemporary debates about the role of literature and the celebrity author as a social commentator. Pre-recorded introduction: Elleke Boehmer is Professor of World Literature in English at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. She is the author and editor of over twenty books, including Colonial and Postcolonial Literature (1995, 2005), Empire, the National and the Postcolonial: Resistance in Interaction (2002), Stories of Women (2005), Indian Arrivals 1870-1915: Networks of British Empire (2015), Postcolonial Poetics: 21st-century critical readings (2018), and a widely translated biography of Nelson Mandela (2008). She is the award-winning author of five novels, including Bloodlines (2000), Nile Baby (2008), and The Shouting in the Dark (2015), and two collections of short stories, most recently To the Volcano, and other stories (2019). Boehmer is the Director of the Oxford Centre for Life Writing and principal investigator of Postcolonial Writers Make Worlds. Speakers: Benjamin Zephaniah is one of Britain's most eminent contemporary poets, best known for his compelling spoken-word and recorded performances.

Part of the Humanities Cultural Programme, one of the founding stones for the future Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities. This panel discussion and conversation with artist Khaled Kaddal examines The Formula of Giving Heart as a piercing study of our contemporary socio-political environment. Drawing from a variety of theoretical and creative perspectives, the panellists variously explore such themes as the global increase in physical confinement(s), the rise of cybernetics and biodata, and the continued privileging of contemporary science/medicine as distinct from other historical practices of healing. Exploring these phenomena amid a backdrop of global precarity, The Formula for Giving Heart forges fascinating linkages between seemingly disparate phenomena. It demonstrates how spatial imprisonment exists in and through hyperlinked and technologized (global) networks, ancient Pharaonic languages map onto and exist as contemporary (computer) code, and apparently distinct socio-political events—from the Coronavirus pandemic to the 2011 Egyptian revolution—can feel familiar through the very extraordinary nature of their temporal and affective regimes. Exploring these themes through the world premiere of Kaddal's newest work, this panel broadly considers our present moment as well as the shifting nature of sonic and visual performance during a time of global crisis and ever increasing technologization. Christopher Haworth is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Music at the University of Birmingham. His scholarly interests lie in the broad areas of electronic music and sound art, which he researches using a mixture of historiographic, philosophical, and ethnographic research methods. He is currently researching the short-lived 'cyber theory' moment that accompanied mid-1990s hype for the internet and World Wide Web in Britain, and he was previously an AHRC Early Career Leadership Fellow on Music and the Internet: Towards a Digital Sociology of Music. He also composes computer music, often incorporating principles from psychoacoustics, music psychology, and cybernetics. Khaled Kaddal is a Nubian visual artist and sound performer, raised in Egypt and currently resident in London. Allaying science and politics, spirituality and technology, he works with two interdependent abstractions; ‘Immortality of Time' and ‘Sovereignty of Space', in search for the imperishable balance between intelligence, emotions and moral judgments. Recent solo show at Overgaden Institut for Samtidskunst, Copenhagen; group exhibitions include ‘One the Edge' at Science Gallery, London; '10 Years of Production' at Sharjah Art Foundation, Sharjah; ‘What do you mean, here we are?' at Mosaic Rooms Gallery, London; ‘Art Olympics' at Tokyo Metropolitan ArtMuseum, Tokyo; Performances at ‘Keep quite and Dance' at Cairotronica Symposium, Cairo; Zentrum der Kunster Hellerau, Dresden; and ‘Daily Concerns' at Dilston Grove Gallery, London. Kaddal has an upcoming show at 5th Biennale Internationale de Casablanca, Morocco; and a Resident Fellow at Uniarts Helsinki, Finland. He studied Computer Science at AAST (EG), and Sound Art at the University of the Arts London (UK). Darci Sprengel is an ethnomusicologist and Junior Research Fellow in Music at St John's College, University of Oxford. Her research examines contemporary music in Egypt at the intersections of technology, capitalism, and politics. She is currently completing her first book, 'Postponed Endings': Youth Music and Affective Politics in Post-Revolution Egypt, which examines Egyptian independent music in relation to conditions of military-capitalism. She has two additional research projects. The first analyses music streaming technologies in the global South using a feminist and critical race approach to digital media. The second explores the influence of sub-Saharan African culture in Egyptian popular culture. Christabel Stirling is a musicologist specialising in ethnographic approaches to music and sound art in contemporary urban environments. She is currently a postdoctoral research fellow on the ERC-funded project ‘Sonorous Cities: Towards a Sonic Urbanism', based at the Music Faculty at the University of Oxford. Her research explores the social relations and coalitions that music and sound produce in their live forms, focusing particularly on the potential for such coalitions to transform or reinforce existing social and spatial orders.

Topics Discussed and Key Points:●      Using the power of design for social impact●      Why Kseniya reframed the Belt & Road Initiative as a “sociospatial set of challenges” in her thesis●      How Ballistic Architecture Machine factors into the New Silk Road●      China's strengths and weaknesses in architecture and urban design Episode Summary:Today on The Negotiation, we speak with Kseniya Otmakhova, a Schwarzman Scholar and Director of Public Relations at Ballistic Architecture Machine. Her role as a PR manager comes with a focus on furthering research on the New Silk Road with the goal of developing it into one of several of BAM's unique “Urban Initiative” projects.“I have a strong desire to use design for social impact,” says Kseniya, describing what initially motivated her to study urban planning at the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. She also helps us understand that proposing concepts is not enough; the key is in convincing stakeholders by understanding the outcomes they desire.Kseniya was thus drawn to the Schwarzman scholarship, not only for the professional opportunities the program would bring but also for the access she would get to sharp minds around the world (including over 100 fellow scholars) to be able to have conversations on global issues with people from a variety of backgrounds.Listen in as Kseniya explains her thought process behind reframing the Belt & Road Initiative as a “sociospatial set of challenges” in her thesis and the three themes that anchor her research.She then describes the mission-vision of BAM, the multidisciplinary design studio based in Beijing and Shanghai, and how the studio's focus on urban landscape design guides its research on the development of the New Silk Road.Finally, Kseniya discusses the incredible speed and agility of development China is known for, particularly in the world of architecture and city planning, and why this can be both a strength and a weakness for the country's urban development. Key Quotes:“The Schwarzman program is a one-year Master's program in Global Affairs at Tsinghua University in Beijing. It's a very young program—six years old. It's a scholarship that was created specifically to respond to the geopolitical landscape of our current times. That means China's growing interactions with businesses around the world and also the realization of the founder, Stephen A. Schwarzman, that there is not enough understanding of this region in the West.” “The Belt & Road Initiative is at the scale of an entire continent. My question was: ‘What does it mean to build infrastructure for win-win collaboration—a structure that will create new people-to-people bonds?'” “I truly believe that the success of the Belt & Road Initiative depends on the built environments and the on-the-ground conditions that are created through ‘Happy Cities'.” “Just building a new highway that will bring your country money is not enough to create people-to-people bonds; to foster collaboration; and to create new, vibrant environments.” “One of the main aspects that brings a lot of professionals—from the best architects, urban planners, and the like—to China is the speed of developments. Things get built very quickly and, as such, an architect working in China for five years might see one or two projects completed; whereas back in Europe, they might as well spend ten years behind the drawing board.”

Part of the Humanities Cultural Programme, one of the founding stones for the future Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities. Named after the original title of Richard Rathbone's book on Nana Ofori Atta I, the King of Akyem Abuakwa in Ghana, this talk will be the first that celebrates the paperback edition of Nana Oforiatta Ayim's celebrated novel The God Child. Both books have the kingdom as their centre, with Nana Oforiatta Ayim's book drawing on that of Richard Rathbone, as well as on her family's memories, for her fictional narrative. In this live event the two discuss the interplay of academia and fiction and how narratives are shaped and reshaped according to the telling. They also talk about the nuances of privilege, leadership, and of royalty within a West African kingdom and how this has evolved through time. Nana Oforiatta Ayim Nana Oforiatta Ayim is a Writer, Filmmaker, and Art Historian who lives and works in Accra, Ghana. She is Special Advisor to the Ghanaian government on Museums and Cultural Heritage, leading the country's museums restructuring programme. She is also Founder of the ANO Institute of Arts and Knowledge, through which she has pioneered a Pan-African Cultural Encyclopaedia, a Mobile Museums Project, and curated Ghana’s first pavilion at the Venice Biennale. She published her first novel The God Child with Bloomsbury in 2019, and with Penguin in German in 2021.

Part of the Humanities Cultural Programme, one of the founding stones for the future Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities. Named after the original title of Richard Rathbone's book on Nana Ofori Atta I, the King of Akyem Abuakwa in Ghana, this talk will be the first that celebrates the paperback edition of Nana Oforiatta Ayim's celebrated novel The God Child. Both books have the kingdom as their centre, with Nana Oforiatta Ayim's book drawing on that of Richard Rathbone, as well as on her family's memories, for her fictional narrative. In this live event the two discuss the interplay of academia and fiction and how narratives are shaped and reshaped according to the telling. They also talk about the nuances of privilege, leadership, and of royalty within a West African kingdom and how this has evolved through time.

She is Special Advisor to the Ghanaian government on Museums and Cultural Heritage, leading the country's museums restructuring programme.
