French Literature in the making avec Frédéric Mitterrand


Frédéric Mitterand est un homme touche à tout : livres, cinéma, télévision, fiction, documentaire...et ce passionné de culture est également directeur de l’Académie de France à Rome depuis juin 2008.

Le 13 avril, c’est l’écrivain qui est l’invité d’Olivier Barrot pour un nouveau rendez-vous de la série "French Literature in the making". Frédéric Mitterrand a publié depuis 1990 douze livres, dont "La Mauvaise Vie", récompensé en 2005 par le prix Vaudeville et qui aborde le sujet de son homosexualité. Dans la catégorie roman, il a aussi publié récemment "Lettres d’amour en Somalie" en 2006.

Au cours d’une conversation sans fausse pudeur, Olivier Barrot abordera avec lui l’ensemble de son parcours littéraire, pour essayer de comprendre les racines créatives derrière chacune de ses œuvres.

meet the artist Liam Roberts

By -
Liam Roberts’ fertile imagination transmutes images into abstract-like compositions of strik- ing energy and brushwork. He says that he is not a maker of pictures, but a maker of paintings, and that the viewer completes the work, not simply by looking but by the labour of seeing. Shakespeare, as usual, says it best: “Let every eye negotiate for itself . . .” Roberts’ mediums are acrylic, gouache, collage and ink. This show comprises recent and earlier works. Liam has exhibited in New York, London, Paris, Palm Springs, Geneva and Nicosia. He is represented in Dublin by Peppercanister Gallery.   www.liamroberts.com  /  roberts l@copper.ne
