Cécile Burban is a French artist photographer. Guided by an intuitive approach, her work is a poetic investigation of physical and psychological landscapes.
She seeks to depict the imperceptible in the links we weave with our environment, and questions the variations there: mutation and renewal, mixing intimate experience with collective narrative.

A graduate of the HEAR and the Beaux Arts de Paris, Io Burgard draws form from drawing, embodies the idea in sculpture. Io Burgard's work has been seen at Mo.Co (curator Vincent Honoré), at the FRAC Ile-de-France, at the CAC Chanot (curator Roven), at the Galleria Continua (curator Nicolas Bourriaud), at the Palais de Tokyo (curator Gael Charbeau), and abroad in Japan (Forum Hermès), in Seoul (Maison Hermès) and in Germany (She BAM). Monographic exhibitions have been offered to her, notably at the MRAC Serignan by Sandra Patron, at the Capucins in Embrun by Solenn Morel, at the CAC in Ugine by Stephane Sauzede, and in the galleries Maïa Muller (Paris) and SheBam (Leipzig). She will soon participate in the Triennale de Dunkerque under the curatorship of Anna Collin and Camille Richert. Present in the collections of FRAC PACA, CNAP, MRAC Sérignan, Fonds de dotation Hermès.

Garance Butler-Oliva is interested in slowness, proposing forms whose experience unfolds in opposition to contemporary temporal acceleration. In a society saturated by a constant visual flow, she seeks to produce a slow image that reveals itself only through the viewer’s dedication. Her research notably explores Hasbara — the communication strategy of the Israeli state. Coming from a Franco-Israeli Jewish family, she attempts to express a decolonial Jewish voice.

Olivier Bémer (born in 1989) lives and works in Paris. His work explores through different mediums the way we engage with technology and how it affects our relationship to time, to ourself and to others. His installations depict an adulterated reality in which archetypes simulate but fail to represent. Olivier Bémer is a graduate of ECAL, Beaux-Arts de Paris and the Fresnoy National Studio of contemporary arts.

Valentina Canseco (1985) is of Brazilian and Chilean origin, and holds degrees in plastic arts from various institutions in France, Belgium and Colombia. She explores a singular relationship to the landscape through light, color and scale variations and composes metonymies as prisms of the visible, capable of recreating sensitive impressions of the outside world. In her work in volumes, she questions our relationship to architecture and to the living. In painting, her pictures, punctuated by the musicality she perceives in the colors, create scores of the invisible.

Antoine Carbonne (born in 1987 in Paris) graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2011 and studied at the Hunter College in New York in 2009. While his work is often described as “contemporary surrealism”, he prefers to define it as “magic realism.” Indeed, this nebulous artistic movement plays on a fundamental ambiguity: has it ever really ended? In any case, it raises truly contemporary questions, such as hallucination and dreaming, which are important to the artist.

Loucia Carlier (born in 1992) is a French artist based in Paris. Working between sculpture and painting, she creates object-paintings and micro-architectures in which body fragments, artificial caves, domestic interiors, and lighting devices are interwoven. Through miniaturization, she condenses fictional worlds where social norms, power relations, and intimate imaginaries are replayed. Her works transform the ordinary into unstable landscapes, oscillating between reverie, alienation, and projection. Since 2018, she has co-directed the independent journal Klima and was a recipient of the Révélation Émerige award.

Alessandra Carosi (born in 1984 in Italy) is a visual artist whose practice is mainly centred on the photographic medium, nourished by a plastic approach. Combining photography with psychology, she investigates the way in which subtle and immaterial elements such as empathy and emotions meet and dialogue with each other. In the course of her research, the artist tries to go beyond the limits of the medium by bringing out three-dimensional aspects that allow her to transcend the photographic surface.

Hector Castells Matutano's work is built on a kind of visual ecology based on the collection of images he produces or finds. He works with these images to produce the beginnings of narratives and visual experiences, changing them through collage, text, installation and colorization. He thus seeks to combine, without corrupting them, the issues of abstraction (lines, colors, shapes and lights) and the documentary type image (archives, found images, photographic diary). This research is for him the means to question the otherness, to think the articulation of the difference. It allows him to reconsider the question of the collective and the relationship to the other, within real or perceptive spaces.

Marion Catusse (born in 1991 in Paris) lives and works in Paris. She graduated in 2014, from the superior cycle of Plastic Arts of the École de Condé. “Starting from the natural stone that served as a guide to Man in his understanding of reality, Marion Catusse’s experiments allow the deployment of a completely different relationship to the world, enabled by the production of works whose appearance borrows from the characteristics and properties of the mineral world but which contain their own reality.” (Text by Lisa Toubas.)

Elliott Causse (born in 1992 in Paris) graduated from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2017. He works on the theme of the city, exploring all its different forms of networks, cartographies and transportation flows (plumbing, electricity, public transportation).
As a video artist, he creates immersive installations and frescoes in situ, as well as experimental short films inspired by the urban environment.

Mathilde Cazes (born in 1991 in Toulouse) is an artist who graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2021. She lives and works between Paris and Finistère. Photographer and sculptor, Mathilde Cazes asks through her works "the same question, by diverted ways: how to inhabit the Earth today? Her work constantly oscillates between the melancholy of potential disappearances, and a passionate defense of the living." (extract from a text by Camille Paulhan, critic).

Alex Cecchetti’s work unfolds at the intersection of poetry, performance, visual arts, and ecological practices. His work takes the form of sensory and immersive installations. Natural dyeing, poetry, music, films, and incantations create spaces of passage and transformation in which the bodies and attention of the audience become an integral part of a living ecosystem. Cecchetti’s works are often created in collaboration with other forms of intelligence, such as forests or oceans, and unfold beyond traditional exhibition spaces, such as in gardens, seascapes, or immersive contexts. The philosopher Emanuele Coccia has described his work as an “aesthetic and ecological revolution,” in which each species becomes an artist and each ecosystem a living Kunsthalle. Nourished by research into vernacular knowledge, botany, and mythologies, his practice explores the relationships between humans and nonhumans, as well as the links between ecology, desire, spirituality, and forms of community. Cecchetti’s work invites the audience to experience the vertigo of unity with other forms of life and intelligence as a transformative experience, while also insisting on its urgency: imagining ourselves as separate from other species and ecosystems is not an abstraction, but a condition that produces real ecological and political crises. His work has notably been presented at the Centre Pompidou, the Serpentine Galleries, MAXXI Rome, and IMMA Dublin.

Marielle Chabal (born in Paris in 1988) has, after studying literature and political sciences, entered the Beaux-Arts de Paris. She creates futuristic fictions that become inseparable from the forms that they generate and the actions they create through her many collaborators. She is convinced that fiction participates to the construction of our lives and transforms a burning desire to change the world into something that approaches an embodied experience: the format of the exhibition becomes a driving force that intensifies collective practices by inviting artists, scientists, architects, musicians, researchers, and other figures to build common experiences.

Born in 1988, a graduate of ESARM, Angélique de Chabot assembles organic materials and integrates ceramics into her work. Her themes are animals and the sacred. In 2018, her exhibition Surgissant du Nadir at Malromé Castle, features a monumental goddess beast. Recently, his giant and mystical masks feed his bestiary for his project Meute, in procession in the public space for the Aix-en-Provence Biennial, during Art-O-rama in Marseille and in resonance with the Lyon Biennale.

Born in 1990, artist Antoine Chapon has presented his work at the ZKM|Karlsruhe (2019), the Centre Pompidou (2020) and the Venice Architecture Biennale (2021). In 2021, he becomes one of the Berlinale Talents. His first film My Own Landscapes won the prize for best short film at the Visions du Réel festival (2020). It was selected in many festivals like Sundance (2021) and Telluride (2021). In 2023 it was selected for the César in the category Short Documentary Film.

Gregory Chatonsky (born in 1971 in Paris) is a French-Canadian artist, pioneer of the Netart with the foundation of Incident.net (1994). In 2003, he became interested in the themes of ruins and the materiality of digital flows until the extinction of the human species. In 2009, he ventured into the world of AI, which became over the years an object of research and creation, followed by a seminar at the ENS Paris on artificial imagination. He has exhibited at the Palais de Tokyo, the Centre Pompidou, the MOCA in Taipei, the Museum of Moving Image, the Hubei Wuhan Museum, etc.

Salomé Chatriot (born in 1995 in Paris) graduated from the École Cantonale d’Art de Lausanne. Her work focuses on the creation of physical and virtual spaces: she builds machines
and installations in which electronic sculptures and digital images coexist. Fascinated by breathing, she invents multiple futures where bodies, machines, nature, and objects come together in biometric
harmony.

Lou Chenivesse (born in 1994 in Paris) grew up in France, Egypt, and Syria. A visual artist and scenographer, she graduated from the national diploma of plastic expression with honors. Her work relies on lying, make believe, playing with reality so that the spectator cannot tell what is true and what is false, imagines, dreams. She intertwines realities that are both fictional and documentary, tangible and invisible. At the intersection of performing arts, cinema, and visual arts, she creates hybrid forms, full of magic, poetry, oneirism, and ghosts.

The work of Taisiia Cherkasova (born in 1991 in Dnipro, Ukraine) is mainly in the form of paintings, bringing together oil, pastel and acrylic ink. More and more, the frames are disappearing for sculptural formats which increase the pigments on new dimensions. The subjects she evokes come from both her personal experience and her fascination for the forms of duality present in human beings. Metamorphosis, a major theme for her, allows her to construct strange characters and scenes which bring us back to our own human condition with finesse.

Artist and designer, graduated from the Boulle school in 2017, Pia Chevalier leaves room for total spontaneity in her creative process and the composition of her pieces. Her love for raw materials encourages her to constantly transform them in order to create unique pieces. Focused on everyday objects, her obsession is to give solemnity to these objects in order to make them endearing. She thus gives birth to disproportionate, funny sculptures, often inspired by the culinary universe.

Gaelle Choisne (born in 1985) lives and works between Paris and Berlin.
Sensitive to contemporary issues, her practice takes into account the complexity of the world, its political and cultural disorder, whether it be the overexploitation of nature, its resources or the vestiges of colonial history, where esoteric Creole traditions, myths and popular cultures are mixed.
Her projects are conceived as ecosystems of sharing and collaboration, pockets of "resistance" where new possibilities are created.

Boris Chouvellon (born in 1980 in Saint-Étienne) graduated from Villa Arson in Nice, and later from the École des Beaux-Arts de Marseille. He explores urban space and its periphery. His work questions modernity by carrying out poetic constructive experimentations in the traces of its ruins.

Diane Chéry (born in 1993 in Suresnes) is a visual artist, painter and choreographer.
She graduated from the Ecole Estienne, the Arts Décoratifs de Strasbourg and the Beaux-Arts de Paris, with the Congratulations of the jury in 2020. She trained in Emmanuelle Huynh's performance workshop and with dancers from Alwin Nikolais' company. An exchange at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago allowed her to develop the practice of weaving and the creation of costumes. Her work opens up a plural space and offers a visual experience of colour in movement.
