Tobias Spichtig (b. 1982, Luzern) is a Swiss painter, sculptor and accasional musician. He currently lives and works in Zürich and Berlin. His paintings, sculptures and performances evolve around mystical aspects of the everyday, through personal and fictional narratives. Spichtig’s work spans figuration to abstraction where iconic, the decadence of subculture and nature play central roles. Recent exhibitions include solo shows at Kunsthalle Basel, "Everything No one ever wanted", Tao Art Space, Tai Pei, "Its beautiful when the spirits arrive", the Swiss Institute, New York, "Good OK Great Fantastic Perfect Grand Thank You" and KW Institute for Contemporary Art, "Die Matratzen", Berlin; and Centre d'Art Contemporain– La Synagogue, Delme; "Love and Die", among others.

Siméon Starck (born in Strasbourg in 1990) is a self-taught designer. He was trained on international building sites alongside architects and heritage-focused companies, where he developed his appreciation for form, material, and craftsmanship. In 2022, he founded the design studio elmire. He designs and creates modular pieces with minimal lines and unique assemblies. Questioning materials, repurposing their uses, and provoking the unexpected, he enjoys starting with constraints to better play with the rules.

Eric Stephany (1970, France), based between Paris and Athens, develops a practice combining sculpture, installation, photography, and performance. Drawing from sites with ambiguous functions, he collects materials and images that he transforms into fragments, questioning the fragility of our shelters and the ways we inhabit the world. At the intersection of architecture and psychology, he proposes a disruptive approach to sculpture. A graduate of the École nationale supérieure d’architecture de Paris-La Villette and the École nationale supérieure d’art de Cergy, he has exhibited in France and internationally, notably at the Centre Georges Pompidou.

After studying architecture in Lima, Pier Stockholm obtained a Master's degree in Plastic Arts at the University of São Paulo (USP), where he lived for five years before moving to Paris to follow the “La Seine” post-graduate program on a scholarship from the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris (ENSBA). His solo and group shows include Paço das Artes in São Paulo, Vleeshal in Middleburg, Casino Luxembourg, Espace Paul Ricard and La Galerie des Galeries in Paris. He has benefited from several artist residencies, including SOART in Carinthia, Austria, the Cité des Arts in Paris, KNUA in Seoul and NID in Ahmedabad, India. His book “The Weight of References” was published by ONESTAR PRESS in 2014. Next April, he will take part in the group exhibition Vertigo at Villa Carmignac on the island of Porquerolles.

Ann Stouvenel is the artistic director of exhibition spaces and artists-authors’ residencies. She is also an independent curator and is attached to institutions. She focuses her energy on creating times of mobility and experimentation. She is also the cofounder and president of Arts en résidence.

Laëtitia Striffling-Marcu studied photography and video at Aalto University in Helsinki and at ENSAD-Paris. Her latest photographic project deals with belief and its materiality. She photographs places and objects of worship, established as material evidence of a personal and invisible feeling. By choosing the deep shadow or the too bright glare in which the objects are immersed, then cropping the image, enlarging it or letting its grain and pixelation appear, she seeks to disturb the outline of the object and the lines of perspective that allow its understanding. The reading of the photographs is thus left to the interpretation of the viewer and to what he or she believes to see in them.

Mathilde Supe (born in 1989 in Paris) studied art history before working on film sets, then entered the École Nationale Supérieure d’Arts de Paris-Cergy. Then she embarked on research at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, under the supervision of historian André Gunthert. She creates narratives through films, video installations, books, and editions and questions the phenomena of interpretation and representation by mixing fiction and sociology.

Loïs Szymczak was born in Paris in 1993. A high-level athlete in acrobatic diving, he entered the Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2018, embracing a dual identity as both artist and diver. He competed in the finals of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games in the ten-meter synchronized platform diving event. His artistic practice exists at the intersection of art and sport. His work draws from this singular experience, questioning the boundaries between these two worlds that he seeks to unite.

Loïs views the act of diving with a fresh eye, highlighting its symbolic, philosophical, and spiritual dimensions. Through the prism of his discipline, he examines our relationship with competition, questioning the notions of ranking and scoring that shaped his upbringing and identity.

Emptiness, the fall, and water are found both in the diver’s performances and in his visual works, where he seeks to move beyond sporting function to sublime the gesture and return to its essence.

Pol Taburet’s work is a heady and iconoclastic mix of references that range from the artist’s own Caribbean background, the region’s synchretic voodoo traditions and belief systems, wider contemporary culture, as well as classical painting. Born in 1997, the artist has rapidly gained attention with his idiosyncratic painterly style, which he has developed by incorporating the use of airbrushing alongside traditional brush painting with acrylic colors. The formal result is a unique contraposition of textures and finishings, of painstaking detail, “impressionistic” suggestion and symbolism.

Lou-Justin Tailhades is an independent curator, art critic, and poet. His research focuses on the literary dimension of contemporary art, from the titling of artworks to fiction within the exhibition space. Taking poetry as a starting point, his work explores the theoretical and practical possibilities of "poetic curating." He has organized exhibitions at the National Institute for Art History (INHA), the Centre Wallonie-Bruxelles, and the Monnaie de Paris. He has collaborated with the curatorial cooperative Radicants, was a curator-in-residence at Villa Dufraine in 2023, and was the 2024 recipient of the Perspectives curatoriales award from Carré sur Seine. He is also a member of the collective Futile.

Vincent Tanguy ( born in 1990 in Rennes) develops a protean practice in which the digital "flood", the effects of globalization and the symbiosis between physical reality and virtual interfaces are transformed by his singular poetry and humor. He has notably created The Convenient Life (2019), a performance realized in Shanghai, China, where, by pushing to the extreme the possible use of the smartphone and digital platforms, he anticipates in his own way the situation of generalized confinement that was ours.

Independent curator Anna Tardivel develops exhibition projects and supports artists in their practice. She explores the connections between contemporary creation and societal issues, new forms of writing, and collaborative practices.
In 2023, she co-wrote the program for the Ball Theater, the project representing France at the Venice Architecture Biennale. Until 2025, she served as Head of Programming at La Gaîté Lyrique. In June 2026, she is preparing the exhibition Le chant des mondes there as part of the Anticipation festival.

Abi Tariq (born in 1990 in Karachi, Pakistan) received a Master of Fine Arts from Transart Institute (Berlin/NY) and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Paris College of Art. His practice aims to critically expose or subtly displace hierarchical structures through the prism of "performance art" and using his "absurd-mystical" methodology. Inspired by the complex entanglements between language, culture and power, he questions behavioral culture.

Sacha Teboul was born in 1995 in Paris. He graduated from the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris (2020, Burki studio) and from La Fémis (2023, directing). His films have been selected and awarded at numerous festivals (IndieLisboa, Busan, and Brive, among others), and his visual work has been presented in solo exhibitions (Galerie du Crous, Bateau-Lavoir) and group exhibitions (FRAC Normandie, Serpentine Gallery).
He is currently developing his first feature film, Parmi les Ruines, which received writing support from the CNC. He is among the artists selected for the upcoming Salon de Montrouge.

Lise Terdjman is a multi-disciplinary artist-researcher who creates forms in dialogue with archives, producing fictions that draw on art history, the social sciences and the living world. Her drawing is porous with other disciplines, and she uses it as a critical tool. Her work questions cultural and social hybridization. She observes how ecological issues were already present for Renaissance artists.
She completed a double degree at the Beaux-arts and Arts Décoratifs de Paris.
She takes part in exhibitions and residencies in France and abroad in institutions such as Zone Sensible, Saint-Denis, 2024; Les Laboratoires d'Aubervilliers, 2021; Galerie Specta, Copenhagen, 2021; YIA Art Fair, Paris, 2016; Musée du Louvre, Paris, 2005.

Maxime Testu (born in 1990 in Rouen) studied at the ENSBA in Lyon, at HEAD in Geneva and at the ESAD in Reims. He is originally an illustrator, but he also works with sculpture, often in metal or cast aluminum. He favors ancient engraving techniques, such as etching, which he updates, and has dedicated himself to coloring his graphic works.

Marilou Thiébault (born in 1992 in Vanves) is an art historian who graduated from the École du Louvre in 2016 and shares her activities between research, writing, and curation. She has collaborated on many exhibitions. She is now working on a long-term research on the artist Guy de Cointet from a biographical perspective. A first work on her performances led to the publication Guy de Cointet: Théâtre complet (Paraguay Press, 2017, with François Piron and Hugues Decointet).

Coming from the rural countryside of Austria, Philipp Timischl (b. 1989, Graz) is a Paris-based artist whose work examines hierarchies of class, taste, and power—particularly within the art world—through humor, irony, and self-awareness. Using LED video panels, mixed-media canvases, text, and found material, he creates works that often culminate in site-specific installations, reflecting on social mobility, exclusion, and the unspoken rules that govern access to culture.

Melchior de Tinguy (born in 1986 in Bahrain) graduated from the master of fine arts of the International Center of Photography-Bard in New York. In his work, he explores
ephemeral feelings of melancholy, nostalgia, and rootlessness. His anthropomorphic and intimate sculptures focus on urbanization and the significant social, cultural, and psychological changes it entails. Through characters with architectural and grotesque qualities, Melchior creates a surreal atmosphere that often refers to the absurd worlds of Samuel Beckett.

Painter-sculptor, painter-photographer, Pablo Tomek is also a painter. This is what he reminds us by extending his series of paintings made with sponges, which borrow their subjects and their techniques from working-class practices, from the white of Meudon spread on the windows of construction sites, to the practice of erasing graffiti in the public space, with a karcher. Presented "elbow to elbow, like a frieze", Tomek reminds us of his attachment to these accidental writings. So many random and anonymous signs of the street, of which Brassaï said: "To engrave one's name, one's love, a date, on the wall of a building, this "vandalism" would not be explained by the only need of destruction. I see it rather as the survival instinct of all those who cannot erect pyramids and cathedrals to leave their name to posterity".

Rebecca Topakian (born in 1989 in Saint-Mandé) graduated from the Ecole de la photographie d’Arles. With a background in philosophy and geography, she questions notions of identity in her work. By exploring the in-betweens, the mythologies and fictions of identity, she consistently attempts to shed light on the crucial role it plays in our time. For her, identity is articulated in the relation between poetry, intimacy and politics.

Pierre Tostain is a photographer focusing on still life photography. He creates a visual universe that combines simplicity, reelness and minimal poetry, thanks to a humble and precise set composition and with a sensitive use of ligtning.

Maya Inès Touam (born in 1988 in Paris), franco-algerian artist, has always extended her gaze and her curiosity to both sides of the Mediterranean Sea. Her first concerns involved the ambivalence of female power in the Arab world, rigorously seeking to escape any form of neo-Orientalism or post-colonialism. This cathartic period led to her current work, more rooted in universality and focused on the geographical, political and environmental crossroad of Africa.
