Thomas Collinet is a French painter, sculptor, publisher and curator based in Paris. He was born in 1990. In 2018, he founded the Firstlaid publishing house with Zoe Sylvestre and Jesse Wallace, which he continues to run today with the ambition of highlighting the young art scene that makes up his immediate environment. He takes part in the creation of the scenography for several audio-visual productions such as Reveil sur mars by Dea Gjinovci in 2018 (Tribeca) and music videos such as DreamCore by Regina Démina in 2022.

Claudio Coltorti is an artist born in Napoli, Italy in 1989.
His work balances a figurative and abstract, like a dance between dream and reality. His will is to create paintings that belong to painting, pictures that aren’t just tied to one specific era but can speak across time. He largely draws from art history as a departure point, analyzing what has been done to try to learn from great masters. He builds his pictures layer by layer, letting the pigment itself fuse and settle in the depths of the fabric. His will is to let the viewer freely interpret his work, he does not like to impose what a picture should be or represent. His paintings feel deeply personal and universal at the same time, as if they are emerging from the fog of forgotten memories.

Anne Commet (born in 1970 in Rueil Malmaison) works with painting and photography through the print and video practice as painting in motion. Her work relates to the experience of landscape. Through wandering, this experience becomes a journey through space, time and our deepest sensations. For the artist, questioning the values of experience is to seek to understand why a place is important or what memory we keep of a moment. It is thus to explore our relation to the world and to time in particular through what persists by the trace.

Caroline Corbasson (born in 1989 in Saint-Étienne) graduated with honors from the Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2013. Her work explores how the observation of space and the improvement of astronomical tools have caused a rift between immediate perception, that of the average individual and that of scientists, on man’s place in the universe. Her drawings, sculptures, and videos carefully examine this expanse, connecting the infinitely large, whose evolution dates back to a precultural era, and the depth of the infinitely small, perceptible thanks to the tools of science.

Elena Costelianen (born in 1979 en Romania) is rooted in a process that is linked to roaming and exploring singular territories whose image is familiar to us. Her installations and performances play with the idea of displacing our image of the elsewhere. Places that have witnessed contemporary history are the subject of a narration where the image and its transposition are interpreted through slogans that are tinged with humor and poetry, allowing the spectator to fully experience an invitation to the elsewhere.

Mainly sculptural although also photographic and olfactory, the work of Morgan Courtois defends a return to an aesthetic inspired by the craft, the camp and the baroque. Courtois was born in Abbeville, France in 1988 and lives and works in Paris. He received the Meurice Prize in 2017 and joined the Rijksakademie (Amsterdam) in 2018. His work has recently been shown at the Musée d'art Moderne de la ville de Paris, the Pernod Ricard Foundation and the Zadkine Museum in Paris or at the Dubai World Expo or Townhouse in Cairo, Egypt.

Diane Dal-Pra (born in 1991, in Périgueux) graduated with a degree in design and a diplôme supérieur d’arts appliqués with honors. She works predominantly on large canvases giving a monolithic stature to her sculptural figures that are formed from an assortment of objects and bodily forms. Her compositions of varying textures and translucencies appear at the same time both three-dimensional and monumental yet also flat and one-sided.

Justine Daquin is an exhibition curator. Her research is related to liquid and liminal territories, language and the preservation of marginalized voices. Her hybrid practice leads her to create programs thought out over time (such as Out.of.the.blue.map, from 2018 to 2021), mixing work production, exhibitions and publishing. Her new research, Tales of Old Women, was recently integrated into WE ARE OCEAN, an official United Nations project contributing to the decade of ocean sciences.

Corentin Darré (born in 1996) graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure d’Arts de Paris-Cergy in 2020. His work revolves around our relationship with the digital world, the
mutations it generates and the new divides that it creates. Installation, sculpture, video, publishing, and computer-generated images are combined in sensitive and fictional narratives. The contemporary mythologies that he invokes question the “self” in its relationship to love, sex, and violence.

Sylvain Debelfort is a designer. Juggling notions such as the banal and the sacred, the absurd and the sublime, his production plays with opposites. His objects oscillate between industrial projects, self-productions, or sculptural objects. Materials and techniques of diverse origins meet, embrace, oppose each other. His objects play with shapes and ambiguous aesthetics to make a hook to our good taste to propose an elsewhere. They are a step aside, a way of crossing.

Zohreh Deldadeh is a curator and art researcher based in Tehran and Paris. She has been working with numerous art galleries, festivals, foundations and institutions both in Iran and internationally such as Dastan Gallery (Iran), Pejman Foundation (Iran), Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris (MAM) (France), Lodz Photo Festival (Poland), Parallel Platform (Portugal, Poland) and Khoj Institute (India).
In her curatorial practice, she mainly focuses on social and political issues. Her passion for archival material and collections led her to take an interest in her current projects.

Judith Deschamps (born in 1986) studied at the Haute École des Arts du Rhin in Strasbourg (2011), at the Royal College of Art in London (2018) and at the École Universitaire de Recherche ArTeC (2020). Exploring materials provided by language, the body and digital technologies, her work revolves around the relationship between humanity and technology.

Margaux Desombre (born in 1988 in Neuilly-sur-Seine) graduated from the Ecole d’Architecture de Versailles and has worked since 2015 within her own firm. She studied painting in Paris and Buenos Aires, and architecture with Jean Nouvel, Nicolas Laisné and Dimitri Roussel. Her painting, whether it is figurative or abstract, is closely linked to the city and to spatiality. Lights, materials and colors are at the heart of her work, in which space, sometimes physical, sometimes immaterial, evokes the power of memory and of movement.

The work of Hugo Deverchère (born in 1988 in Lyon) attempts to propose a set of experiences that are as many ways to question and evaluate our relationship to the world. Whether it is using narratives, collected data, captured, fabricated or simply found images, his research uses processes of modeling, transposition or conversion and functions by going back and forth between past and future, memory and anticipation.

Julien Discrit (born in 1978 in Epernay) graduated from the École d’art et design de Reims. Geography as an attempt to “describe the world” — or at least to give a possible representation of it — is an essential inspiration for Julien Discrit. Giving shape to the gaps, ambiguities and paradoxes that appear between the map and the territory: this could summarize his practice, which takes the form of installations, images and sculptures. Though his works usually seek to create a tension between the visible and what remains hidden, his recent pieces use traces, prints and memories as favored materials.

Valentina Dotti (born in 1987 in Chiari, Italy) studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti SantaGiulia and at the Beaux-Arts de Clermont Métropole. She uses various media, such as video, photography, or molding, exploring the construction of proliferative forms, in the manner of an organic architecture, referring either to the infinitely large or to the scale of living organisms.

Double Séjour is a curatorial project founded in 2016 by Thomas Havet, an architect by training, in the eponymous space of his apartment. Even outside of its original location, Double Séjour keeps its founding concept and tries to explore the relationship between each work and the others, and the relationship between the works and the spaces. From organizing group exhibitions to publishing, Double Séjour opens new spaces of experimentation for artists.

Vadim Dumesh (born in 1984) is a director and producer of documentary films, a researcher and a journalist. He studied economy, cinema, arts, and public affairs at the Stockholm School of Economics in Riga, Sam Spiegel Film and TV School in Jerusalem, and at Sciences Po Paris. Originally from Latvia, he cultivates a transdisciplinary approach and is studying the potential of co-creation practices, which he develops in his dissertation, The documentary author and collective creativity in the digital age, for his PhD in Art Studies and Practices, jointly led by the Université du Québec in Montreal and Le Fresnoy – Studio National des Arts Contemporains in Tourcoing.

Kenny Dunkan (born in 1988 in Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe) frequently draws from the visual culture of the Caribbean, particularly the culture of carnivals, periods of social, cultural, and political role reversal, to develop an oeuvre that addresses the French colonial heritage and the persistence of its modes of representation. For this, the artist often uses his own black body as a subject, which he stages through various mediums, ranging from video to performance, sculpture, and assemblage.
Having graduated from the National School of Decorative Arts in Paris in 2014, he won the ADAGP Visual Arts Prize at the Salon de Montrouge in 2015. From 2016 to 2017, Kenny Dunkan was a resident at the Villa Medici, the French Academy in Rome. In 2018, he participated in the opening exhibition of Lafayette Anticipations. Three years later, he exhibited for the first time at the Les Filles du Calvaire Gallery in Paris and joined the CNAP collections with the installation "COSMOS" in the same year. He became the laureate of the first Reiffers Art Initiatives mentorship, which then presented his work at the inaugural exhibition of the program at the Studio des Acacias by Mazarine.

Margot Duvivier graduated from the École des Beaux-Arts de Lyon. Independent graphic designer who specializes in editorial design, she cofounded Galerie Takini in 2017 in Lyon with Armando Andrade Tudela and created the new identity of the Centre régional d’Art Contemporain de Montbéliard and of FRAC Champagne Ardennes, in duo with Léa Audouze.

Charlotte EL Moussaed graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2013 and from the Documentary School of Lussas in 2020. During professional experiences of exhibitions and residencies she developed subjects that are now part of her body of work: translation, reflection on oral and visual languages and the issue of bodies in the image, both in film and photography. The questioning of the portrait and human presence are issues that deeply motivate her.

Justine Emard, artist, explores new relationships between our lives and technology. By combining different image technologies, she situates her work in a flux combining robotics, neuroscience, organic life and artificial intelligence. Her work is exhibited in France and abroad. In 2023-2024, she is guest artist-professor at Le Fresnoy, studio national des arts contemporains. Her work is included in national and international collections. In 2023, she won the “100 femmes de culture” award in France. Justine Emard is artistic director of the French Pavilion's permanent exhibition for the 2025 World Expo in Osaka.

Alexandre Erre (born in 1990 in Nouméa) studied at the École d’Art et de Design de Grenoble and at the École Nationale Supérieure d’Arts de Paris-Cergy. Through the use of installations, sculptures, videos, photographs, interventions in public space, performances or engravings, he dissects codes and conventions to question and produce memory, narrations, and fictions. His work revolves around the island of his birth, New Caledonia, and more generally around processes of exoticization, racialization, gentrification, domination, or cultural hierarchization.

Yoann Estevenin (born in 1992 in Cagnes-sur-Mer) graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Paris with honors and he was awarded the Prix des Amis des Beaux-Arts in 2018. Between fascination for the strange and festive rituals, his work advocates a vision of contemporary drawing resolutely placed on the side of the living and the vibrant.
