How are you financed? We benefit from the fruit of our capital — which can cover both operating costs and the basis of our action. But this alone is not enough for us to finance ourselves. So we use family money with gifts. Since 2011, we’ve set up the Circle of Hip- pocrene’s Friends that contributes to our activity. Finally, we dedicate a limited budget to our operational fees. In this way, 75 % of our budget is devoted to grants. the building that you’ve occupied since 2001 is the former agency of architect robert mal- let-stevens. That’s right. Very surprisingly, when we bought it, hardly any mention was made of this “detail”. Renowned architects or artists can stay in the shadows for a long time before being redisco- vered. In the case of Robert Mallet-Stevens, it’s very clear that he was a poor relative of modern Propos d’Europe 14 "Thoughts that breathe" Exhibition view Photo Aurélie Cenno Courtesy of Fondation Hippocrène interview • fondation Hippocrène architecture, unlike Corbusier. It was thanks to an exhibition at the Centre Pompidou in 2005 that he came back to centre stage – we also held an exhibition at the foundation echoing the one at the Centre Pompidou.
In 1992, my father decided to set up a founda- tion. He started developing it without having any special site. He ran it by himself, which in a way was quite modern. Today, there are many more family foundations – and perhaps even more endowment funds, which have the advan- tage of flexibility. In 2000, he was invited to visit the agency that we currently occupy. He liked what he saw and things progressed very quickly after that. The foundation developed and we needed pre- mises. Today, this site allows us to keep the foundation alive. 20 This document is for the exclusive use of Art Media Agency’s clients. Do not distribute. Subscribe for free.

contestation a group of croat artists demands the resignation of the minister of culture K ulturnjaci 2016, a group of Croat artists, has launched a protest campaign against the Mi- nister of Culture, historian Zlatko Hasanbegovic. In a press release whose virulence recalls cer- tain Surrealist tracts from the 1920s, the artists consider the minister incompetent in the culture domain, and assert that some of his decisions flirt with fascism. A few choice morsels: “We, the cultural workers signed below, believe that we are witnessing the threatening and humiliation of the field of culture by the decision of the new Croatian Go- vernment to appoint Zlatko Hasanbegović who, on top of being entirely incompetent in the ma- nagement of cultural institutions, local and in- ternational collaborations as well as the use of the European cultural funds, holds completely unacceptable reactionary ideological positions. “We believe that culture has to be defended from all ideologies that champion bigotry, nar- row-mindedness, revisionism and nationalist concepts of cultural politics and production. A culture robbed of humanist principles and rolled in the mud of dictatorship no longer re- presents freedom but is only a medium for poli- tical pragmatism.”
t he exhibition “Solitaire” can be seen from 1 April to 10 July 2016 in the former Sacristy of the Collège des Bernardins (Paris), in associa- tion with the Rubis Mécénat Cultural Fund. For this exhibition, the institution is according carte blanche to Stéphane Thidet, the third guest in the residence programme initiated by curator Gaël Charbeau. Stéphane Thidet’s work is characterised by re- flection on the perception of time and the aura specific to each material. In the former Sacristy at the Bernardins site, the artist will be offering a metamorphosis of this space that is blatantly loaded with history and symbolism. An installa- tion has been designed by the artist, associating a “drawing machine” with the “bachelor ma- chine” model invented by Michel Carrouges, performing a “liquid, mineral and solitary choreography”. We’ve previously had the chance to see an ins- tallation by Stéphane Thidet at the “Inside” exhi- bition at the Palais de Tokyo: his “refuge”, a small wooden cabin inside which torrential rain fell continually.
s culptor and multimedia artist David Weinrib has died. Recognised in the 1960s for his abstract sculp- tures, David Weinrib worked with different me- dia, namely sculptures from resin moulds. His more recent work has consisted in cut-outs of pa- per forms, 3-D acrylic collages and nude self-por- traits. He taught at Pratt University for over twenty years, and set up the Clinton Hill sculpture gar- den at Pratt University in 1999, showing nearly 50 works per year. artists
