Born in Guernsey 1989. Isaac Lythgoe is a sculptor and writer, he studied painting at the Royal College of Art, London (2014.) Repurposing ideas from narrative and storytelling traditions, his work is an open-ended discussion of prospective technologies and how they might influence our future societal structures. Ethics, romance and mortality serve as fluctuating, narrative arcs - vehicles to mediate a research practice, which considers the integration of synthetic and biological systems as the most prescient grounds for changes and challenges to the human experience. In practice these ideas are approached both conceptually and materially; works appear as stories, playing out in a blend of symbolic organic materials and new media techniques, the handmade and the machined in continual flux.

Lê Thiên Bảo divides her time between Ho Chi Minh City and Paris. Since 2010, her curatorial practice has been exploring the best ways to promote contemporary art in Southeast Asia by raising awareness and connecting artists and their community.

Working across sculpture, sound, and voice, Beka Magyarlaki (born in 1992, Hungary) creates immersive installations that explore the body as a container of intimate and cultural memory, as well as a site of political and morphological transformation. Hybrid forms and layered sound pieces unfold a queer psychological landscape, weaving a poetic narrative around belonging, trans identity, and collective dreams. Since graduating in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins (2017), she has exhibited in the United Kingdom, France, Morocco, Portugal, Turkey, and Hungary. Her recent works have received support from PARIS-B and the CNAP in France. Her work has also been nominated for the MullenLowe NOVA Awards and the International Takifuji Art Award.

Jehane Mahmoud (born in 1988 in Paris) is a Franco- Egyptian artist, who graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2016. She makes medium-format photographs of a generation that is free, diverse, wounded, but idealistic, in an era that feels like the end of the world. Exile, be it cultural, natural, physical, psychical, or political, is one of the major themes that haunts her work. The installations and photographic objects that she produces take the form of temples, odes, or dedications to the characters who inhabit her images, and more generally to all living things.

Bastien Mairet (Born in Tarbes, France, in 1988) combines his technical and artistic background by inking mechanical automatons, whether they be mechanical motors with clock springs, with the use of modern electronics for his pieces. He works in collaboration with other artists to set their creations in motion for store windows or exhibitions.

Demian Majcen (born in 1992 in Saint-Cloud) graduated from Villa Arson and from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Paris. He sees his work as a filter through which he can learn and observe the world in the present. He thus leads an open-ended quest, made up of encounters, successes and failures. He transforms artefacts into possible utopias and seeks to give beauty back its purpose, to give the world an end, so that it can begin again.

Olivera Majcen is a Serbian-Croatian artist who grew up with artisan and weaver grandparents who gave her a taste for the intelligence of the hand. After graduating from the Belgrade Fine Arts School in 1984, she participated in several exhibitions as a painter before arriving in Paris in 1991. It is then that she devoted herself to fashion design for ten years. Since 2006, she continues her practice as a painter and set designer between Paris and Belgrade.

Sarah Makharine is an artist and photographer whose work explores the human body as a means to question identity, gender, and social perceptions. Through her art, she seeks to deconstruct stereotypes and give voice to stories that are often overlooked.
By combining analog and digital media, she challenges established norms and reveals hidden realities. Her artistic approach focuses on issues of gender and identity, as seen in Papa (2021), where she invites her father to cross-dress, and Le Mikve, which examines the role of women in religious rituals.
Projects such as From Ramallah to the Eiffel Tower celebrate the liberation of women's bodies in conflict zones.
Through her installations, Sarah Makharine aspires to shape a more inclusive and emancipated collective imagination.

Garance Matton (born in 1992 in Paris) graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Paris. Painting is a playing field, a puzzle that combines everyday life with formal or narrative references to art history. The dialogue between the elements leaves the image unresolved, subjected to a rhythm which seems to evoke an uncertain space-time. In her work as a painter, Garance engages in a vivid conversation with the medium, where ideas appear and disappear in this calm but intense debate with painting.

François Maurin (born 1989 in Paris) graduated from ENSBA in 2013 and also studied at the Kunstakademie der Bildenden in Karlsruhe, Germany. Both a sculptor and a painter, his practice unfolds in different projects that he carries out in parallel. Works to look at or to manipulate, the objects he conceives question us on the possible dialogues between our singular imaginary and the links that weave between us our social practices.

The work of Mathew McWilliams (born in 1973 Vancouver, Canada) brings together painting, drawing and photography as parallel yet interwoven practices of mark-making. Reconfiguring the basic ingredients of drawing and print technology, McWilliams seeks to experiment with new material expression.

Théodore Melchior, born in 1990, graduated from ESAD in Reims in 2017 and officiated in the Chevaline Corporation collective from 2014 to 2020.
Amazed by modernity and the Gothic, by John Kennedy Toole's The Conjuring of Fools and William Shakespeare's tragedies, Théodore sets out to construct the surreal remains of a grotesque and grandiose society, self-satisfied but lost in advance. To this end, he explores a wide range of media: installation, sculpture, staging, video, writing, publishing and podcasting. Théodore's visual and narrative quest pursues the turpitudes of the contemporary world, between past splendors and foretold catastrophes, with the same dash of humor and romanticism.

The work and research of French-American artist Jan Melka (born in 1995 in Paris), are rooted in abstract expressionism. She creates her own fictions through the principle of reconstructed figures. The human form is destructured and the geometry of the curves is exacerbated. Imperfect features, inverted perspectives, visible mistakes, or corrupted materials are predominant themes in the artist’s work.

Florent Meng lives and works in Aubervilliers. Trained as a photographer, he uses both photographic series and film; both fiction and documentary. Working on frontier terrain as well as in the studio, he develops a vocabulary of plastic gestures in stages, working the documentary style as a speculative tool. His work has been shown at the Musée d'Art Contemporain de Lyon and at the Biennale de l'Image en Mouvement in Geneva. It is part of the collections of the CNAP and elysée Photo in Lausanne.

Sarah Mercadante (born in 1988) has a master’s degree in science and technique of exhibitions from the University of Paris 1 in 2013. She lives and works in Paris as a curator and art critic. She builds her research and experiments around collaborative work by placing active listening at the center of her approach. In March 2020 she invited a group of women artists interested in performance art to collectively reflect on an ecofeminist place to live and work.

Through his work, Joshua Merchan Rodriguez explores what he calls “knots”: points of convergence where historical, political, and poetic dimensions intertwine, and where transformations, displacements, and material manipulations occur. These knots can take the form of concrete processes such as the commodification of the coca leaf in the 18th century, the domestication of maize, or the exploitation of horseshoe crabs by the pharmaceutical industry. By pulling at the threads that compose these knots, he seeks to reveal the complexities and tensions that shape human and interspecies relationships.

Mathieu Merlet Briand (born in 1990 in Saint-Germain-en- Laye) graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs de Paris in Product Design in 2013. He then continued his studies in a research cycle at EnsadLab. His projects are mainly about environmental issues. He uses big data as a medium. Through the algorithms he develops by recycling processes and analogies to nature, he shapes data flows to create tangible materializations.

Angelica Mesiti (born in 1976 in Sydney) works in the field of moving image installation, sound, performance, objects, and photography.
