Aline Caillet

Aline Caillet is an art theorist at the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. With Columbia's Jane Gaines, she co-led the Alliance research group "Art documentaire / Documentary Art: challenges to politics and aesthetics," which links Francophone and Anglo-American traditions in documentary theory and asks how new artistic methods disrupt our relation to reference, information and "truth." The project included workshops and symposia in New York and Paris towards the exhibition "Documentary Art & Activism Then and Now."
