LecturesLOUIS-JEAN CALVET FEBRUARY 9
THE IMPORTANCE OF LANGUAGES IN A TIME OF GLOBALIZATION
The number of speakers is an important factor to perceive the relative importance of a language. But there are many others: the number of countries where languages are official, the economic weight of the countries in which they are spoken, the importance of languages on the Internet, etc.On the occasion of this lecture given by Louis-Jean Calvet at the Alliance Française, a barometer of the world languages will be presented from the statistics data of more than ten factors. This barometer is helpful in the decision process regarding linguistic policies. He will also expand on the foreseeable evolution of this situation.

ERIC JENNINGS FEBRUARY 16DALAT, KEY CITY OF THE FRENCH INDOCHINA
In the framework of the lectures presented by the Société d'Histoire de Toronto, Eric Jennings will discuss at the Alliance Française the case of Dalat. The city, in the South of Annam, has fulfilled different and important functions throughout the 20th century. It has been a teaching centre, a leisure centre, a city of health, a military camp, an intersection point for ethnic minorities, a centre of hunting, a summer capital, even a federal capital, a replica in microcosm of a major city. Unlike Saigon, Hanoi or Hué, the city of Dalat was a tabula rasa for the colonial authorities, a field of experience and a place where the balance of power were positive for them. And, last but not least, the possibilities of alliances were various. “Discovered” by a scientist, Alexandre Yersin, in 1983, and then developed under the authority of the governor Paul Doumer, before its real growth during and after the World War I, Dalat was first supposed to fulfill health and well-being demands.
Born in Tunisia, Louis-Jean Calvet is a teacher at the University of Provence. He has a PhD in linguistic from the University of Sorbonne and a PhD in literature and human sciences from the University of Paris V. He is also a specialist in sociolinguistics. He was a teacher at the Sorbonne until 1999 and has taught in different universities throughout the world since then: Africa (Algeria, Morocco, Niger, Congo and Mali), the USA, Argentina and Spain. He has published twenty books translated in more than twenty different languages, amongst which : Etudes sur Roland Barthes et les Symboles (Payot, 1973), Les Politiques Linguistiques (Payot, 1987), Georges Brassens (Payot, 1993), L’Ecologie des Langues Mondiales (Plon, 1999) et Linguistique et Colonialisme (Payot, 2002).
Eric Jennings is a teacher in History and the director of the Studies Centre of France and of francophone world at the University of Toronto. He is Chevalier des Palmes académiques since April 2010.

Visual ArtsTHE FUTURE OF DÉCOR
The exhibition The Future of Décor, opened in November on the occasion of Adel Abdessemed’s participation to the Nomadic Residents program of OCAD University’s Faculty of Art, runs until February 13. Born in Constantine, Algeria, in 1971 and currently living in Paris, Adel Abdessemed exploded onto the international art scene in the mid-1990s as one of France’s most exciting artists. He has captured the art world’s attention with a wide-ranging practice that incorporates drawing, video, ceramics, performance and more into a sensibility that wanders from the subtle and sentimental to the bombastic and outrageous.The exhibit at Onsite [at] OCAD, supported by Culturesfrance/ Institut français and the Consulate General of France in Toronto, is Abdessemed’s first solo exhibit in Canada and premieres a series of new works that the artist has produced for this show.

ADEL ABDESSEMED: "IN THE LIGHT OF BLACK MANNERISM"
On the occasion of Adel Abdessemed’s exhibition The Future of Décor, Philippe-Alain Michaud will give a lecture entitled : “In the light of black mannerism”. Art historian and curator, Philippe-Alain Michaud is responsible for the audiovisual collection of the Musée National d'Art Moderne - Centre Georges-Pompidou in Paris. Based on the collection, he put together in 2006 the exhibition Le Mouvement des images - Art et Cinéma in 2006, presenting a new take on the 20th century through the history of cinema. He particularly investigates the twilight zones and frictions between the visual arts and cinema, among others with Hollywood Déconstruit: remontages, remises en scène, resucées (2004), a film programme exploring how experimental filmmakers and visual artists (re)interpret the world of Hollywood cinema. He published the books Aby Warburg et l'image en mouvement (1998), Le peuple des images (2002) and Sketches. Histoire de l'art, cinéma (2006), in which he points out, among other things, that the representation of movement is by no means a privilege of cinema.

LECTURE: DAS AUGE (THE EYE)
Swiss-born, Paris-based artist Thomas Hirschhorn will discuss his massive immersive artwork Das Auge (The Eye), which will open at The Power Plant in March 2011. Selected to represent Switzerland at the 2011 Venice Biennale, Hirschhorn is renowned for using everyday materials, found images and impassioned graffiti-like texts to engage viewers in actively thinking about politics and philosophy. Based around the image of an eye that sees only the colour red, Das Auge (The Eye) is one of Hirschhorn's most significant – and visceral – creations to date.

THE POSSIBLE LIVES OF CHRISTIAN BOLTANSKI
Reel Artists, the Canadian Art Foundation Film Festival, will take place in Toronto from February 23 to February 27. A celebration of art-related films, the festival shares award-winning—and often rare—documentaries about visual art and artists, creating an accessible point of entry for general audiences to consider key personalities and philosophies behind contemporary art.This year, it will showcase the Toronto premiere of The Possible Lives of Christian Boltanski by Heinz Peter Schwerfel. French artist Christian Boltanski began exhibiting in Germany in the early 1970s and today has gained worldwide recognition for his art, which grapples with notions of remembrance and forgetting, appearing and vanishing, childhood and dying. Boltanski, who describes himself as an “emotional minimalist,” speaks of his true and possible lives, of humanism, religion and utopia, and explains his major project, Archives of the Heart, which will bring together tens of thousands of heartbeats in a remote place.Heinz Peter Schwerfel is a filmmaker and art critic. Born in Cologne, he founded Artcore Film in 1985. He has been the artistic director of the KunstFilmBiennale in Cologne since 2002.

The Art Gallery of Hamilton has designated 2011 as the year of The French Connection, a celebration of French and Francophone culture. To be highlighted are in particular three events:
GREAT MASTERS SERIES: MATISSE - THE COLOUR OF JAZZGREAT MASTERS SERIES: MISERERE — ROUAULT’S RHAPSODY TO SUFFERING
JANUARY 15 TO MAY 8, 2011 Curated by Dr. Patrick Shaw Cable, adjacent exhibitions in the Gallery present central print series from the careers of two of France’s great twentieth-century modernists. Published respectively in 1947 and 1948, Jazz by Henri Matisse (1869–1954) and Miserere by Georges Rouault (1871–1958) complement one another through their fundamental contrasts of sentiment and style. Next to the black-and-white expressionism and sombre mood of Rouault stand out the brilliant colour forms and joie de vivre of Matisse. Both artists appeared on the Parisian scene through their association in 1905 with Fauvism. Yet each man possessed and developed his singular vision — Rouault with an uncommon devotion to religious themes in a secular age — Matisse with a colour sensibility that would make him the greatest French painter of the twentieth century.
EUGÈNE CARRIÈRE: SHADOW AND SUBSTANCE
JANUARY 22 TO MAY 8, 2011 Eugène Carrière (1849–1906), whose painting was described by a contemporary as reality having the magic of dreams, was an important French exponent of the late-nineteenth-century visionary Symbolist movement. The current exhibition features the most important works from the outstanding personal collection assembled by Dr. Nick Vlachos in Bloomington, Illinois. Complementing the Vlachos collection will be the handful of Carrière paintings the AGH holds in its Tanenbaum Collection, including the masterful allegory of the art of painting, La Peinture (c. 1899).
VIDÉOSTUDIO: NEW WORK FROM FRANCEFEBRUARY 5 TO MAY 22
VidéoStudio: New Work from France presents the work of three North African artists — Yto Barrada, Bouchra Khalili and Djamel Kokene — who were born or currently live in France. The exhibition brings together work that considers "France" — and the very idea of the nation — as a concept rather than a stable category. Each artist reinterprets techniques drawn from artistic genres including guerilla theater, documentary film and narrative storytelling. Together these works encourage viewers to consider the relationship between individuals and the state; culture and the law; and identity and modes of representation.

GESTURE – GESTES
From February 4 to March 1st, the Alliance Française of Toronto presents an exhibition of the photograph Michelle O’Byrne, laureate of the 2010 Ryerson University Prize, in partnership with the Consulate general of France and the Alliance Française. Gesture is a series of photographs which highlights the issue of photography as a visual language, through paradoxes that the photograph is necessarily confronted to.This series shows how destructing leads to the creation of a new image which itself in turn allows a new regard on the object. Her work invites the viewer to reflect on the value given to images in our society, while it contradicts our cultural standards by destroying what it considered to be sacred. A graduate from the School of Image Arts at Ryerson University, Michelle O’Byrne focus her artistic practice on photography. She lives in Vancouver.

THE MISANTHROPE
The Tarragon Theater presents The Misanthrope by Molière, in a version by Martin Crimp. Molière’s fierce satire about personal and aesthetic integrity is set in today’s celebrity culture machine. Despite the Misanthrope’s biting critique of the film industry, he has fallen in love with a rising starlet. Torn between desire and unflinching morality, our contemporary anti-hero strikes out at hypocrisy in a world shamelessly built on it. Will love or misanthropy triumph?

MusicLES PERCUSSIONS DE STRASBOURG FEBRUARY 24
Presented by Soundstreams and the Royal Conservatory, Les Percussions de Strasbourg will perform in Koerner Hall as part of their 50th anniversary tour, which will take them from Seattle to Montréal, New York City and Washington D.C. In this unusual performance, the ensemble, whose “matched tone, unanimity of attack, and beautifully shaped phrases…” have been highlighted by The San Francisco Classical Voice, will surround the audience as they play Iannis Xenakis's Persephassa, one of the most astonishing percussion pieces ever written. Also on the program will be as a world premiere by the innovative Canadian composer, Andrew Staniland, that was commissioned by the Government of France for Soundstreams, and John Cage's Credo in Us.
In 1959, the six founding members of Les Percussions de Strasbourg – then members of the Orchestre Municipal de Strasbourg and the Orchestre Radio-Strasbourg - gathered for the first time in a concert conducted by Pierre Boulez. Three years later, they gave their first official performance as a percussion ensemble on French Television, playing music by Serge Nigg, Béla Bartók and Edgar Varèse.
In the early years of its life as an ensemble, a new repertoire for percussion began to take shape, and with it, an increased demand for a percussion orchestra to play it. Les Percussions de Strasbourg soon became renowned for its combination of French excellence, innovation and grace. In the last fifty years, Les Percussions de Strasbourg have given over 1,600 performances in more than seventy countries.The ensemble is marking its half-century both by looking back over its historical repertoire with new eyes and looking forward to future possibilities as the group continues to evolve after bidding farewell to its founding members.

MusicYANN TIERSEN FEBRUARY 22
Yann Tiersen will be performing with his band at the Mod Club on February 22, as part as an North-American tour to promote his sixth and latest album Dust Lane.
If the French musician and composer gained worldwide attention when composing the score of the film Amélie by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, he was already well-recognized for his music, which seems both traditional and new, familiar yet surprising, combining elements of folk music and avant-garde aspects.
With his latest album, he ventures into new territories, with electric guitars and vintage synthetics being incorporated in his songs.

ALEXANDRE THARAUD FEBRUARY 22One of Music TORONTO's discoveries, Alexandre Tharaud made an acclaimed debut on their piano series in October 2008.
Born in 1968, he graduated from the Paris Conservatoire and started his international career in earnest when he won the 2nd Prize at the ARD Competition in Munich. He has devoted much of his interest to French music, though his recordings extend to Schubert and Bach.
A. Tharaud plays throughout Europe, the US, Japan and South Korea as recitalist, chamber musician and orchestral soloist. His many recordings have won all of France's top honours. He signed to Virgin Classics in July 2009; his first recording on that label is expected early in 2010 - Chopin.
For his concert in Toronto, Alexandre Tharaud will play this programme, without intermission:
