Prospect 1, the largest biennial of international contemporary art ever organized in the United States will continue until January 18, 2009 in New Orleans.

For its first edition, it features artists and exhibitions open to the public in various places such as museums, historic buildings and sites throughout the city.

With the support of the Cultural Services of the French Embassy, the artworks of three French artists are shown: the famous duet Pierre & Gilles, Anne Delaporte and Xavier Veilhan.

Film screening and Q&A With Director Malik Chibane

Mixing a hip-hop sound-track with gritty and at times surrealistic images, Voisins, Voisines explores the multi-ethnic world of the French banlieues, the disadvantaged urban spaces that gained world media attention during the riots of 2005.

The French have left an enduring legacy in North America, beginning in the sixteenth century and continuing through today.

Following the amazing success of “Cinéma sur l'Herbe / Films on the Green” in June, the Cultural Services of the French Embassy and the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation are proud to present a new series of French films for the month of July (July 11-25).

FACE (The French American Cultural Exchange), an American nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting contemporary cultural exchanges between the United States and France, has recently announced the artistic projects it will fund in the upcoming 2008-2009 season.
