[...] depuis trente ans, le Suisse Harald Szeemann organise des expositions comme d’autres écrivent, filment ou font un spectacle : un poète de la mise en espace. On peut actuellement admirer son travail à la chapelle de la Salpêtrière : grâce à lui, les œuvres denses et puissantes du sculpteur Étienne Martin acquièrent tout à coup une fluidité particulière.

The Tall Ships' Races, formerly known as the "Cutter Sark Tall Ships' Races," are long-distance races for sailing ships. The races were originally sponsored by Berry Brothers and Rudd - marketers of Cutty Sark Scotch Whisky (the Cutty Sark being their trademark as well as a preserved tea clipper lying at Greenwich in London). The races are held annually in European waters and consist of two racing legs of several hundred nautical miles, and a "cruise in company" between the legs. The Cutty Sark was in 1869 one of the last sailing clippers to be built, and she is the only classic clipper still surviving. She is now preserved in dry dock at Greenwich in London. Cutty Sark has inspired the name of a brand of whisky. An image of the ship appears on the label, and the maker has sponsored the Cutty Sark Tall Ships' Race. 1, record 6, English, - Tall%20Ships%27%20Races

Le Cutty Sark est un navire à voiles britannique qui servit au commerce du thé de Chine et de la laine néo-zélandaise avec le Royaume-Uni. Le Cutty Sark est l'un des derniers clippers à avoir été construit, en 1869, à Dumbarton en Écosse, par la société Scott & Lindon, sur des plans de Hercules Linton(Cutty Sark signifie «chemise courte» en scots [langue germanique parlée en Écosse] d’après le nom d’un personnage du poète Robert Burns). Il est le dernier spécimen de cette génération de navires à être resté en bon état de conservation. Cutty Sark est également une marque de whisky, qui reproduit l'image du navire sur ses bouteilles. Le fabricant sponsorise la Cutty Sark Tall Ships’ Race, une compétition créée en 1956 à laquelle participent d’anciens grands voiliers, en l'honneur du Cutty Sark et pour perpétuer l'époque héroïque des courses de clippers. 1, record 6, French, - Tall%20Ships%27%20Races
