„Matisse's Becomings : The Dance between Painting and Architecture“

In which it will be shown that Matisse was the first to understand that a »becoming-life« of art could only be realized by a veritable »becoming-other« of painting, the expansion of which will pass through an architectural becoming enabling it to affect architecture, carrying art off beyond itself.

The demonstration (essentially undertaken using the three versions of The Dance) will be put back into play on the occasion of a confrontation between Matisse and Theo van Doesburg, which will take us from a dance hall to a school: from the Aubette in Strasbourg to Le Cateau-Cambresis, where the latest Matisse installed his Bees.
