Annecy Alpes’ Art School offers courses leading to the DNA (Bachelor’s degree, Bac+3) and DNSEP (Master’s degree, Bac+5) diplomas in Art and Design, as well as a school diploma, the DSRA (Doctorate level, Bac+8). ESAAA is part of the national network of art schools under the educational supervision of the French Ministry of Culture, a network in which it stands out for its pioneering attitude to research, its work on space, landscape and regional planning, and its radical stance on the experimental dimension of art and design: experimentation is strongly asserted by ESAAA, and is at the heart of all its activities.

The MONSTRARE Master’s program was born at a time when the exhibition is an available art form, and the art field is constantly being reconfigured, with a new commitment on the part of artists to invent and take charge of the spaces and ways in which art is made visible. To this end, MONSTRARE “Monstre” addresses contemporary issues concerning the place of art and artists in tomorrow’s social and political world. The program is structured around workshops and seminars, 1:1 projects, study trips to get to know the art scene and how it works, meetings with professionals and conferences. MONSTRE = MONSTRARE = TO SHOW. The Master Monstre is coordinated by artist and director Vir Andres Hera and curator and art critic Arlène Berceliot-Courtin.
Caulerpa, à côté du sel | Clara Ursella, Aneth | 2024 | 19’24
Living close to the Etang de Thau, Caulerpa is filled with pyromaniac anger, hates seaside tourism and waits. It maintains a symbiotic desire with Caulerpa taxifolia, a plant brought back to the Monaco aquarium at the beginning of the 20th century for the aesthetic appeal of its bright green color, and then released back into the Mediterranean Sea. After being declared by scientists and then the media as an invasive, killer algae, Caulerpa suddenly disappeared a few years ago. Filled with deaf and solitary anger, Caulerpa displays gestures and attitudes that confuse genres and act as a preparatory process: the reappearance of the killer algae?
