The idea is to create a workshop on images and art via a dialogue between the philosopher François Soulages and a personality from the field of images and/or art. Under discussion will be both material images -poetic, pictorial, photographic, cinematographic, digital - and immaterial images - psychic, mental, fantasmatic, ideological and so on. The objective is to gain a better understanding of the art that is related to these images and to ask the question why humans need and/or want images and art in order to relate to others and to themselves. Dialogues d'atelier will begin again in September 2008. Information and bookings : Aurélie Garzuel, 01 44 78 75 01.   Events organized by the Société Française      de Photographie http://www.sfp.photographie.com On the first Wednesday of every month from 6 pm to 8 pm the MEP hosts an event organized by the Société Française de Photographie.
