Clemence of Montgolfier, the grain voice

Clémence de Montgolfier, Le grain de la voix, videogram, preparatory research according to Claire Marin (in collaboration with Dr. Alix Marhic), 2022

From one project and from one context to another, Clémence de Montgolfier is interested in speaking out, in the way in which another story can emerge from the orality and tell the individuals and the community differently. Drawing inspiration from the methods of oral history in the United States and relying on a training in oral archives methodology at the CNAM, she develops devices that activate become triggers of testimonies and discussions. Aware that testimony can be ambivalent and act as a healing tool as well as a factor in aggravating trauma, the artist strives to establish relationships of trust and care… read more

Heloïse Delègue, So sorry, we thought of you as useful

Costume for "Sorry we thought of you as useful" Title of costume/ wall piece: "Belly bow, 4.5mx3m20, mixed media and textiles,2022"

Identity, sexuality and work are central subjects in Héloïse Delègue’s practice, which she feeds on in theory, cinema, literature and social networks. His works emphasize belief systems that legitimize power relationships. The interest that it cultivates for the rebel body and the body humiliated by the phallocentric capitalist society - which knew how to oust feminine knowledge - was clarified by reading Caliban and the witch: women, body and primitive accumulation (2004) by Silvia Federici; reflections that intensified during her residency at the British School in Rome in 2022... read more

Alix Delmas, Waltzes Anthropometric

Alix Delmas © adagp 2022 ©SMAC 2022 Preparatory test Plate no. 8205 The scale survey

Alix Delmas builds photographic productions and videos that combine performance and sculpture, painting and light. Its installations disturb our common perception of indoor and outdoor sites. The apprehension of space, of the nature of the image is found in all his artistic practice. Public, private or metaphorical space, it depicts human bodies and the interaction that remains between gestures, light and space. Anthropometric Waltzes is based on research at the Archives of the Prefecture of Paris and studies for a screen printing work in which Alix Delmas continues his exploration and aesthetic experiences on the body, the human figure and its limits... read more

Zoé de Soumagnat, Still

Still, oil and acrylic on canvas, 180x150cm, 2019

For several years now, Zoé de Soumagnat has been exploring painting as a space conducive to exploring questions related to the gaze and the body that looks. The contemplation of a painting allows, according to her, a double simultaneous look: an inner look, turned towards memory, sensations and feelings, and an outer look, turned towards materiality, place, others. By working on the obverse and the reverse of her paintings, she plays with the perception and the superposition of these looks and wonders about the status of contemporary images, always there are many legacies... read more

Dinah Bird, Area Bnoise

Kerria lacca cochineal is an insect that throws sap from trees and turns it into shellac, known as shellac. Produced in North India, and more precisely Kolkata, and harvested in the peasant villages of West Bengal by workers - mostly women - shellac was traditionally used for the manufacture of microsillon discs. The sound artist DinahBird went to this region to record the environmental sounds around the harvesting sites, and to study the artisanal production of the records... read more

Thomas Dunoyer of Segonzac, Marat Troubles

Paris, 30 rue des Cordeliers, Saturday 13 July 1793, 7:14 pm, Marie-Anne Charlotte Corday, ardent royalist, enters Jean-Paul Marat’s room. He is taking a bath. Corday approaches and sticks a knife in the chest of the journalist, deputy and revolutionary.

© "Confession", Valentine Franc, HD video, 2023, De Appel Amsterdam – super feelings episode 2

Valentine Franc, through a work of film, video and installation, explores recurring themes such as fantasy, fabulation, mental projection – and especially recently the female figure and its representation in the history of cinema. She previously worked on the filmic genre of woman’s films with Volare (2021) inspired by The thief (1942, Curtis Bernhardt) a Hollywood melodrama and a typical example of woman’s film. In Smoke & Mirrors (2020) , she is interested in the logic of popular culture and the representation of femininity in the music industry, especially in K-pop. One of the starting points for The confession is a search of the artist around his great-grandmother, born Emma Dezéraux in a Norman city... read more

Mathilde Ganancia , Le erotic plateau

Audre Lorde urgently calls for using eroticism and recognizing it as a source of female power. It consists for her in a sensual temperament by which to think of alternative behaviors. Mathilde Ganancia seizes this resource in her works that model fluid and fleshly gears, from mediums that reveal themselves in their metamorphic and erotic potential. Erotic Demand, his exhibition held in Bagnoler (Bagnolet, FR) in 2022, invited to experience eroticism as a way of being in the world... read more

twin in the clouds and other stories is a theoretical and field research project by artist Tania Gheerbrant on the Voice Hearing Network (VSN) bringing together a community that refuses to consider the voice agreement as a sign of mental illness. Gheerbrant recreates a collective listening session on the model of the REV and conducts a series of documentary and individual interviews with some. voice and caregiver. Voluntarily hybrid, the film project deals with these alternative approaches to care in a poetic, visual and musical way, but also theoretical: the writings of practitioner.ne. s et théoricien.ne. s of care such as Michel Foucault, Félix Guattari or Jean Oury are invoked... read more

Hippolyte Hentgen works the image broadly. If their practice is anchored in drawing, they also venture into other fields of representation, such as spectacle, scenery, sculpture and now film. The two artists draw on a mass visual culture and the history of art to revive clichés and awaken the eye of the spectator by appropriating and diverting codes of representation that from comic strips to textile patterns shape our daily lives damage... read more

Yuni Hong Charpe creates video works, installations and performances that focus on identity building and the persistence of memory, particularly in the context of the history of Japan’s colonization of Korea in the early 20th century and the displacement of Korean populations to Japan. The artist addresses in particular the past and present of the Zainichi community (the Koreans of Japan who have no land or language of their own), from which it comes, and questions the transmission of memory by the body, dance, song and language, despite its gradual disappearance due to the consequences of colonial oppression… read more

Camille Juthier Dancing Cells

The marginalization of those who do not fit into the norms depends on our validist society which is based on a liberal class ideological discourse. To maintain the oppressive system on which it is based, the culture of “valid” maintains a hierarchical dichotomy giving rise to classifications, including those that distinguish normal from pathological. The violence that can be experienced by neuroatypical people is sometimes experienced within the bodies of those who live in reception centres in France… read more

Laura Lamiel, Nothing isto do, everything is to be undone

Laura Lamiel’s major departure decisions, which seem intuitive and dazzling to her, give way to subterranean and bewitching events that give a form of silent autonomy to the works that are being built. Its corpus of objects contains a multitude of materials from finds, such as frozen images of work or gestures of recovery. This material and these industrial objects become raw materials, freed from all narration but preserving its connotations... read more

Gaspard Laurent, Drift (provisional title)

© Set of trays (1), acrylic on wood, 2022, Gaspard Laurent

Whether he creates anarchist fanzines with Mathis Perron and Chloé Vanderstraeten or comics in autonomy, Gaspard Laurent attaches particular importance to the physicality of the book object, in time and space. His research on the non-linearity of narratives materializes in labyrinthine spaces with pre-established color codes. It is at the bend of the theories of Josef Albers that he attributes to the colors a narrative, symbolic and sensory function. The comic strip allows to manipulate this composite language, made of colors, texts, images and sequences. But how to expose it without responding to a classic exhibition device when it is limited by its format?... read more

Robin Leforestier, Presentation of the residence at the Barn Hotel

© Robin Leforestier, Presentation of the residence at the Barn Hotel

Robin Leforestier leads an artistic practice that he places in the people welcoming him in residence and participating in many exhibitions. Like painting, meetings and travels are essential materials in his practice. He went to the owners to paint their landscape and thus reenact the position of the court painter of the renaissance. His study deals with the relationship of possession between an owner, his property and the surrounding territory. The artist’s nomadic practice leads him to parasitize with benevolence, the places or the activities of his collaborators. Passing from one house to another, he produces paintings that, as meeting instruments, testify to an intimate relationship to the landscape and a poetic way of life... read more

Douna Lim, Millennium

© Douna Lim, Millennium

At the first of the year 2000, Gilbert filmed, camcorder in hand, his apartment, his relatives, and his reflection in the mirror. The scene is painfully banal – he notes it, frustrated: 09:47AM 1/1/2000, NOTHING HAPPENS!
Millennium is a film by Douna Lim made in collaboration with Theo Pesso, about the transition to the new millennium. Structured around amateur videos found on YouTube, the film follows Gilbert, Sebastian, and an anonymous e during their awakenings. They celebrate, joke about the year 2000 bug, and anticipate the end of the world: the atmosphere of celebration mingles with the intoxicating expectation of the apocalypse... read more

Lucile Littot, Night all cats are grey

© Swan Tale and seven other extraordinary stories, 2022, HD, 13 min, Le Marais, FR

The imagination that Lucile Littot develops within his practice takes its source in multiple cinematic, literary or borrowed references to the history of art and magic. Its aesthetics draw on the Baroque, Rococo and Commedia dell'arte, in line with the inspiring figures of Jack Smith and Derek Jarman. She is interested in female figures and disenchanted generations while seeking to sublimate the tragic by appearances. Behind his costumed representations, caricatures, pop, obscene and tinged with Italian mannerism, there is also the idea of a fictional autobiography... read more

Benjamin Magot, Defeat in action

Benjamin Magot produces embedded forms of narration, which short-circuit the usual dramatic models to occupy an intermediate zone between documenting actions and directing situations. Driven by a dynamic of de-learning and awareness, he develops a formal and pictorial work voluntarily literal. By games of putting at a distance, in which participate the field-countershot or the combination of documents and fictions, it underlines the aberrations of our automations... read more

Félix Pinquier

Felix Pinquier has been involved for several years in an artistic practice combining sculptures and drawings, offering Man Made Objecand a formal reflection on technical objects and their power of fascination. After having shown the first works of this series, in 2020, in the exhibition Futurologie at La Galerie de Noisy-le-Sec, the artist wants to develop and increase this corpus. It is about exploring the relationships we have with our «artificial organs»: these interfaces which are extensions of our living bodies and which modify our relationship to the world. Felix. read more

Paola Siri Renard

Paola Siri Renard examines the aesthetic and political codes carved into architectural ornaments. Through her practice of sculpture, she is interested in the ways in which architecture and its ideology condition our spaces, as well as the movements that are possible there... read more

Georgia René-Worms, A handwriting of self since illness, 2022

Georgia René-Worms has a practice of writing, plastic work and exhibition curation. The artist says not to write on art but – using language and textual media as a plastic material – to conduct research and to be interested in feminist subjects and emancipatory and militant practices, while drawing inspiration from the new narratives in which the subjectivity of the author and the author is always present. She constantly asks herself the question of the exhibition of the text and the dissemination of the knowledge that she produces, which leads her to imagine hybrid forms between physical and online publication, installation, exhibition, clothing... read more

Agathe Simon, Cosmos, 2022-2023

Agathe Simon has a transdisciplinary plastic practice that oscillates between video and film, performance, sound and installation. She regularly collaborates with scientists such as astrophysicists, geologists and seismologists, and makes travel films about the limits of the world, rituals, epistemological conflicts and fictional narratives, including those around the creation of the world. As part of Individual Creative Assistance 2022, the artist is carrying out the project The Creations of the Universe (work title) , which takes the form of a research in the mountainous region Alto Chorrillos in Argentina at the end of which a video triptych will be made... read more

Marie Sommer

Marie Sommer works through the video and the photo the question of the archive. An artist-researcher, she considers the work of collecting image documents but also its analysis as an integral part of her work. Working more specifically on surveillance and information devices, since 2017 it has been developing a three-part research project, which deals with three cold war surveillance sites and devices: the Stasi archives, the Dew-line Arctic radarLine and the first silver reconnaissance satellites Corona... read more

Sarah Tritz

Sarah Tritz stylises and synthesizes common objects according to an ecology of means that alternates between workshop productions and craft productions. The 08:03 installation project is in this sense a project of continuity that combines the artisanal manufacture of ponettes, plushes inspired by toys very marketable and manufactured in the factory that is found in the trade, clocks also made manually and computer-printer heads. These pieces that evoke a domestic narrative, characters who must juggle professional imperatives, family life and personal fulfillment refer to differences situations as individual as well as collective... read more

Yann Vanderme, Untitled particular, 2022

In his plastic practice, Yann Vanderme uses "what he has under his nose" to produce performances, installations and videos. He manipulates banal objects, spaces and situations in order to question them with great distrust and humour, while trying to imagine the possible transgression of conventions, limitations, integrated behaviours and value systems that govern our daily lives. In the video works, Yann Vanderme used up to now the characters and the built scenarios: the "funny" puppets left to the discovery of universes, everyday objects and well-known spaces, such as the museum, the office, the middle-class home, or the highway. With Untitled, the artist works in a new way, filming with real people and without a detailed script... read more

Mona Varichon Horn body

Mona Varichon unearths her raw material online and in the real world, archived according to a methodology she learned from her sociology studies. She captures these recordings in her close, friendly and family environment, as well as in mass media and advertising. There, behaviors taken in societal phenomena are emerging, as evidenced by his videos, photographs and performances. In order to give them a resonance in and outside the field of art, she articulates a readable and accessible language, which succeeds that of the documentary cinema of Carole Roussopoulos or Agnès Varda... read more

Capucine Vever, Drifts Alpines, 2022-2023

Capucine Vever’s artistic practice studies and seeks to shed light on the interactions between human presence and geographical territory. Above all, it questions invisible presences and changes through plastic forms that adapt to each concrete situation and that can range from video and photography to sculpture and installation. In a previous work, Dunking Island (2022), the artist is interested in the context of the island of Gorée, located in the bay of Dakar, which is currently experiencing the consequences of a major rise in water, while questioning its past, marked by the painful memory of the slave trade... read more

Qingmei Yao, Mole

Qingmei Yao’s works distort patriotic, communist and capitalist symbols through the use of a burlesque, parody and poetic vocabulary. It is the sickle and the hammer that it places at the heart of its docufiction San Zu Ding and its motif (2013-2020). Like this one, his works underline the absurdity of political power that the artist finds in China and more generally of the liberal economy, by the staging of caricatured characters... read more
