Alexis et Mathieu proposeront de mettre en musique des vidéos glanées ça et là qui ont toutes pour thématique la bicyclette, allant d’un documentaire traitant de la fabrication du vélo à une descente très sportive en VTT. Avec leurs bidons-maracas, leurs guitares-sonnettes ou leurs casques-grelots, ils espèrent faire vibrer petits et grands, tout en ravivant l'envie de découvrir ou redécouvrir les joies du biclou. Pour couronner le tout, ils viendront à vélo. Vous aussi ? Information Source: Vélodays 2025 | eventbrite

In conversation with Jo Ann Beard. Free. Registration Requested. Peter Trachtenberg will discuss his new book - an intimate history of America’s first publicly funded artists’ housing project and its residents that casts light on the precarious place of art-makers in a changing New York - with Jo Ann Beard.Westbeth Artists Housing was founded in 1970 to provide affordable housing for artists and their families. It occupies a full city block in what back then was one of New York’s less desirable neighborhoods, the desolate far-West Village. Over the next fifty years, the building complex served as a Great Society for bohemians, home at any one time to more than three hundred and eighty creators, who included the pioneering video artist Nam June Paik, jazz great Gil Evans, and the photographer Diane Arbus, who took her life in her apartment in 1971, barely a year after she’d moved in. With the passing of time, Westbeth’s artists have watched their neighborhood gentrify and rebrand as the glitzy Meatpacking District, where the average apartment rents for more than $6000 a month. And while some of those artists achieved fame, obscurity drove others to bitterness and despair. Peter Trachtenberg was born and grew up in New York City and began spending time in Westbeth in the late 1970s. He lived there (illegally) from 1995 to 2006. He is the author of three earlier books of nonfiction and the recipient of awards that include Whiting and Guggenheim Fellowships and a Phi Beta Kappa award. Jo Ann Beard is the author of the groundbreaking collection of autobiographical essays, The Boys of My Youth, and the novel, In Zanesville. Her work has appeared in The New Yorker, Tin House, Best American Essays, and other magazines and anthologies. She has received a Whiting Foundation Award and nonfiction fellowships from the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation and the New York Foundation for the Arts. In 2022, she received an American Academy of Arts and Letters 2022 Award in Literature. She teaches writing at Sarah Lawrence College.
