Le tir au papegai! Revue de l'exposition "Le Noble Jeu de l'Arc" (Musée Denon, 11 mai - 17 septembre 2023)
Swedish Gymnastics - workshops @HEMAC-Dijon 2023
I’ll be giving 2 workshops at the Historical European Martial Arts Gathering during its twentieth edition in Dijon (University of Burgundy). I’ve been diving in 19th century materials regarding physical activities and massage techniques lately, I’m happy to share them with you.
I've been to the exhibition "Iron Men" (Kunsthistorisches Museum, Wien
The exhibition will take you on a journey about armours of 15th and 16th centuries, from child armour to funerary armour (the whole cycle, but also wandering in chivalric games and armour as diplomatic gifts). It features focuses on the interplay between textile (in and out!) and metal, fashion and functions, and different style of armour (alla turca, all’antica, etc.). Women are also there, from the margins and at the centre. It aims at going over the vision we get of the armour through the cultural lenses of the late 19th and 20th c. and more recent pop culture, in order to bring back an actual period image of the armour as an object in all its dimensions. And it succeeds!
