Le musée est-il toujours le lieu de l'art contemporain ? L'intervention de l'artiste dans l'espace urbain est-elle plus libre que celle de l'architecte ? Qu'en est-il de l'autonomie de l'œuvre après l'ère postmoderne ? Ces interrogations émergent d'un dialogue passionnant à partir duquel l'artiste et l'architecte échangent véritablement leur point de vue sur des démarches distinctes par nature et similaires dans le désir d'intégrer le contexte plastique, architectural, historique, sociologique, esthétique dans leur travail. Cette conférence, présentée par Frédéric Migayrou et Jean-Louis Maubant, donne lieu à une confrontation engagée autour de la notion d'espace dans l'art et l'architecture. Film réalisé dans le cadre du cycle des Grandes Conférences conçues par Alain Julien-Laferrière et organisées par le Centre de Création Contemporaine et l'Université François-Rabelais à Tours le 11 avril 1994.

Summary:
Originally broadcast in April and May of 1998. Hosted by executive producer Tom Hanks, the miniseries tackles the daunting challenge of chronicling the entire history of NASA's Apollo space program from 1961 to 1972. For the most part, it's a rousing success. Some passages are flatly chronological, awkwardly wedging an abundance of factual detail into a routine dramatic structure. But each episode is devoted to a crucial aspect of the Apollo program. The cumulative effect is a deep and thorough appreciation of NASA's monumental achievement. With the help of a superlative cast, consistent writing, and a stable of talented directors, Hanks has shared his infectious enthusiasm for space exploration and the inspiring power of conquering the final frontier. 12 épisodes, 12 heures.

Summary:
When William Thorsell assumes command of Toronto's Royal Ontario Museum, he moves quickly to rejuvenate the beloved building on Bloor Street. As former editor of one of Canada's leading newspapers, Thorsell envisions an iconic public building— a bold gesture that will inject a shot of architectural amphetamine into the staid and sensible veins of Canada's biggest burg. Who to trust with such a venture? Enter Daniel Libeskind. More than a celebrity architect, Libeskind is a global brand linked to some of the world's most prestigious building projects. As Libeskind's unusual crystalline structure rises into the Toronto sky, Thorsell and Libeskind dance a high-tension tango. Budgets are blown. Timetables trashed. Citizens outraged. Tuned to contemporary debates on public architecture, The Museum charts the progress of Thorsell's grand scheme in an entertaining tale of art, ego and steel beams.
