Monaco’s École Supérieure d’Arts Plastiques – Pavillon Bosio is setting the tone for spring with a series of public events that will spotlight its ongoing engagement with emerging contemporary artists, design and education. On the agenda: special guests, a student exhibition and the launch of Women are Beautiful, a show honouring the work of four female Italian artists.

This March, the École Supérieure d’Arts Plastiques – Pavillon Bosio (ESAP) will host a trio of events that reflect the school’s interdisciplinary approach and its collaborations with leading figures and institutions in the arts. All of the events are open to the public.

On Wednesday 26th March, at 10am, students from Pavillon Bosio will welcome Nina Artioli, the granddaughter of Italian architect and designer Gae Aulenti, for a conference on scenography. The talk is being organised in collaboration with several major institutions, including the École d’architecture Paris-Malaquais, the Beaux-Arts de Paris and the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs, as part of the L’Entour programme, which focuses on exhibition scenography.

The following day, at 6pm, a group exhibition titled Leaving the Ground will open at the Quai Antoine 1er Gallery in Monaco. The show will feature the work of third-year ESAP students and serves as a key stage in their academic development. According to the school, the exhibition reflects on spatial relationships and display choices, with each student presenting a personal project in a collective setting.

On Friday 28th March, artist Nathalie Du Pasquier, art historian Valérie Da Costa and curator Mathilde Roman will co-lead a talk at the Pavillon Bosio. The session precedes the opening of Women are Beautiful, an exhibition running from 28th March to 16th May at the Società delle Api on Quai Antoine 1er that will present works by four Italian female artists: Carla Accardi, Nathalie Du Pasquier, Marisa Merz and Cinzia Ruggeri. The scenography for the show was created by students from the school’s Décors programme. The vernissage will be held at 6pm following the panel discussion.
