Banquet – 2013 edition
[slideshow_deploy id=’928′]
A first edition of the Banquet took place on Friday 27th September 2013 to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the museum, with the help of the artists Fabien Vallos and Jérémie Gaulin. For an evening, 350 people – among which many artists, art critics, curators and collectors that contributed to the museum’s History – were brought together to share a unique moment of conviviality around a real Banquet à la française imagined by the artists.
Entitled “Celebration”, this Banquet gave way to a festive atmosphere, discussions and encounters. We received the support of the Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux, who was also celebrating its fortieth anniversary and generously offered all the wine.
The price of the meal is 300 euros per person and is paid as a donation, entitling you to a fiscal deduction of 60% for companies (therefore a real cost of 120 euros) and 66% for individuals (therefore a real cost of 102 euros). Each paying meal allowed us to invite an artist, an art critic or an artistic personality that was important to the CAPC’s history.
This donation allows the entrepreneurs of Bordeaux to contribute to the influence of their city and region, by enriching the CAPC’s artwork collection and offering to the guests a networking venue.
Dress code : black tie and cocktail dress

AUTRES EVENEMENTS
2014 // Visit backstage of the TnBA and meeting with the actors of Cyrano de Bergerac, after the show
Texts Edmond Rostand
Adaptation and direction Dominique Pitoiset
Last year, Dominique Pitoiset signed the foreword of the brochure with a loud “No, thank you!” taken from Cyrano who he had, he says, met. The lines showed all the admiration he had for the work of Edmond Rostand. It will therefore not come as a surprise that he directed the masterpiece. To personify the poet with a long nose, Dominique Pitoiset calls upon the formidable Philippe Torreton.
Evening in collaboration with the TnBA

2010 // Berlin
With Aurélie Voltz, independent curator
In a city 8 times the size of Paris with more than a million habitants more, the space is there, to live but also to create! That is why the artists love the German capital that has become in ten years a hub for contemporary art. The programme proposes four days rich in discoveries, from must-sees to the more unusual.
From the collection of Christian Boros to that of Erika Hauffmann, via the Sammlung Haubrok, discovery of 3 attitudes and manners of conceiving a collection, in a bunker, private appartments or a space with an East German feel. Without forgetting Friedrich Christian Flick’s gigantic collection presented the contemporary art museum Hamburger Bahnhof. The same museum will also welcome an important personal exhibition by Carsten Höller. Discovering an artist’s studio, seeing project spaces that are part of Berlin’s vitality and watching a performance in the Salon Populaire, new venue with a rich programme, everything is here to favour the new!
A big circuit around Berlin’s different districts will show the recent movement of important galleries towards the West with, of course, the visit of young galleries, that flourish every year. An evening of openings will allow you to see the nocturnal ambiance of the city. Art and the life that goes with it: a diner at the top of the Reichstag with an unforgettable panorama and a dinner at HBC, an old Hungarian cultural centre converted into a project space to be experienced at night, in a sixties concrete atmosphere with a view on Alexanderplatz. And of course, tasting kölsch, the famous beet from Cologne in the unmissable bar 3, the artists’ bar. The next day, finally discovering the secrets of German cooking and, for some souvenirs an exclusive shopping in Mitte, with some addresses for young Berlin-based designers, the best of Scandinavian design, the exceptional vintage clothing shops without forgetting the good bookshops where you may find the catalogue you have been looking for for so long…

Talk with Phyllis Lambert
Friday 13 March 2009, 6:30 pm
Citizen Lambert : Jeanne d’Architecture
Conversation with
Phyllis Lambert architect, founder of the Canadian Center for Architecture in Montreal
Teri Wehn-Damisch producer, director and script, Paris
A unique incursion in the world of Phyllis Lambert, an important personality on the world of architecture. Phyllis Lambert is recognised by the international community for her contribution to the promotion of contemporary architecture and for her defence of social aspects of conservation of urban heritage as well as the public dimension of architecture. As an urban activist, philanthropist and founder of the Canadian Center for Architecture (CCA) in Montreal, Phyllis Lambert has created a collection of architecture unique in the world. Citizen Lambert: Jeanne d’Architecture, directed by Teri Wehn Damisch, looks at Phyllis Lambert’s creations: her collaboration with Mies van der Rohe for the Seagram Building in New York in the fifties; her photographic missions, starting from the seventies, for a reconnaissance of historical monuments; the urban guerrillas that she carried out for the construction projects of the Milton-Parc district, amongst others; the creation of Heritage Montreal; and the constitution of a collection that would lead to her founding the CCA as a museum and a research centre.
Event organised at the initiative of the Friends of the CAPC,
with the support of the CAPC contemporary art museum and arc en rêve centre d’architecture
as part of the cycle “zoom on architecture, arc en rêve is cinema!”
Meeting with Antoine de Galbert and the Friends of the Maison Rouge
Thursday 28 June 2012 – 7 pm – CAPC auditorium
With a degree in political sciences, Antoine de Galbert (born in 1955) worked in business management, before opening, for a dozen years, a contemporary art gallery in Grenoble. In parallel, he starts an art collection that becomes more and more important for him. In 2000, he chooses to open a Foundation to give a permanent and public dimension to his commitment to contemporary creation.
The maison rouge, Fondation Antoine de Galbert
Created by a private person, Antoine de Galbert, an art amateur committed to the French art scene, the maison rouge is a foundation recognised of public use.
Its goal is to promote the different forms of contemporary creation through the presentation of temporary exhibitions. Putting at the disposal of artists more than 1000 m2 of exhibition space, the maison rouge invites independent curators to explore the diversity of current artistic research, often via large private international collections. The foundation wishes, thanks to the art experiences that it provokes and proposes, to give priority to the multiplicity of practices and approaches.
les amis de la maison rouge accompany Antoine de Galbert’s project and bring him their support. They participate in the thought process and debates on private collections, proposing activities on exhibitions and participating in the influence of the maison rouge on the public in France and abroad.

Invitation of the Friends of the CAPC…
Conference by Giuliana Setari-Carusi
7 p.m. – CAPC auditorium 
For the last ten years, the Friends of the CAPC association has accompanied the contemporary art musuem throughout its actions and initiatives. With this series of conferences devoted to art collectors with a truly civic action, the Friends of the CAPC propose encounters with atypical people, whose commitment to the arts goes well beyond their collection.
With a degree from the Collège d’Europe in Bruges and a Masters in High European Studies, Giuliana Setari Carusi has been building with her husband Tommaso over the last thirty years an important art collection known worldwide. In 2001, she founded the Dena Foundation for Contemporary Art, registered in New York as a non-profit organisation, promoting the knowledge of European art through private sponsored actions.
With her foundation and her Residencies Program for artists and curators at the Centre International des Récollets in Paris, as well as with the Omi International Arts Center in New York, she has been encouraging mobility for up-and-coming artists. She also created the Dena Foundation Art Award, that rewards young artists with artworks in public space. Recently, the exhibition Beyond the Dust – Artists’ Documents Today brought 12 French, Italian and Dutch artists together, in three prestigious venues : Middelburg, Milan and Paris.
Giuliana Setari is president of Cittadellarte Fondazione Pistoletto since 1998, year of its creation, and a member of many associations of benefactors supporting cultural institutions. She is also an editorial consultant for the magazine Janus.
