Alice Loumeau is an architect-cartographer; Valentin Bansac is a researcher-photographer. They met at OMA/AMO and took part in the Experimentation in Arts and Politics program at the Paris Institute of Political Studies.
In 2025, they will be together with Mike Fritsch the curators of the Luxembourg pavilion entitled Sonic Investigations at the Venice Architecture Biennale.

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.

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.

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.

Matisse Mesnil (born 1989 in Castiglion Fiorentino, Italy) lives and works in Paris. He uses metal to replay figurative art in its most familiar genres, such as landscape and still life. To the noisy world of industry, he adds the ethics and aesthetics of silent contemplation that run through the history of landscape. A muted violence underlies his pieces, which nonetheless appeal to a form of religiosity that can also be read in the demanding scenography and architecture of his work.

Margaux Meyer (born 1998 in Suresnes) graduated from the Beaux-arts de Paris in 2022, from Tim Eitel's studio. Her practice discusses the very nature of pictorial language through a materialist and fluctuating impression. Her thinking is shaped by psychological reactions and sensations that place the body at the center of her representational work. Her practice is articulated around gestural and sensitive elements, resulting in a strong organic tension.

Sabine Mirlesse (born in 1986 in the USA) holds a Master of Fine Arts from the New School in New York and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from McGill University in Montréal. Her research focuses on the visibility of thresholds and the interiority of landscape, with a particular interest in how geological sites are divined, interpreted and narrated. Her multidisciplinary approach links photography and geology as guardians of time, and manifests itself in an accumulation of layers and strata.

Saeideh Mirshekar, born in 1984 and graduated in carpet design, has developed her artistic practice between painting and carpet design. After more than a decade of work in Tehran and participating in several group exhibitions, she has been based in Paris since 2023. Her works reflect the fragile beauty of the world and a balance between emotion and aesthetics. Today, she explores new perspectives at the POUSH studio.

Adrien Missika (b.1981, Paris) humorously investigates the paradoxes of the natural and the cultural. Using epistemology as a base for research, his conceptual approach drifts into poetic and hypothetical narratives.
Through a variety of media, from video, photography, sculpture to installation and action, the work digs into the wide range of natural and environmental sciences. Overcoming the logic of capitalism, Missika's artistic practice nurtures a space for possible worlds. Adrien Missika (b.1981, Paris) is an artist and an amateur curator. He studied art at Ecole Cantonale d’art de Lausanne (Ecal) following a law degree from the Université Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne. He was a co-founder of Galerie 1M3, Lausanne, (2006-2014), founder and art director of Belo Campo Lisbon, (2017- present) and founder of MOTUS gallery (2022-present).

Juliette Mock (born 1992) produces works that draw on a personal and often flat material life, while evacuating the subjectivity of its author. She belongs to a generation that has integrated the mechanisms of artistic production based on the everyday and the narrative, whether fictional or autofictional. She allows form and motif to create the possibility of a narrative, and is not afraid to produce works that evoke a slightly obsolete emotion. The objects and images she produces display a tension between the graceful and the ordinary, the beautiful and the slouchy.

Yosra Mojtahedi, born in Tehran, is a graduate of Le Fresnoy – Studio national des arts contemporains. She explores the boundaries between the living and the non-living through sculptures she conceives as hybrid “human-machines,” sometimes interactive, combining soft robotics, emerging technologies, and organic materials.
Coming from a context where the body is a taboo subject, her work develops a sensual and sensory language — tactile, olfactory, sometimes erotic — blurring the limits between machine and flesh, human and non-human, real and unreal. Her works, infused with a political sensuality, reinvent narratives around femininity, technology, and spirituality.

Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro (1994), Gabriel Moraes Aquino has been living in France since 2017. His practice is shaped by displacement, encounter, and a close attention to the formation of imaginaries—particularly those linked to the exotic, their legacies, and their contemporary shifts. Through sculpture, installation, photography, textile, film, and performance, he composes sensitive narratives between bodies, landscapes, and collective memories.
A graduate of the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris (2020) and recipient of the FoRTE grant (2022), he has collaborated with the Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection, the Institut National des Jeunes Aveugles, the A4 Art Museum (Chengdu), the Ateliers Médicis, the Fondation Fiminco, the Fondation MRO (Arles), and the Musée Paul Éluard, among others.

Raphaël Moreira Gonçalves (born in 1988, Lyon), hailing from Cape Verde and Italy, is graduated of Le Fresnoy and the Fine Arts of Lyon His works are driven by a quest for communication with other universes. Through sculptures, films, and various images related to contemporary technologies, his work explores the connections between the physical and the mental, while incorporating narrative nuances drawn from his personal experiences, dreams, and virtual worlds. His works have been exhibited internationally, including at the Christophe Gaillard gallery, the ClearView gallery in London, and most recently at the Refraction Festival during the Miami Art Week 2022.

Winnie Mo Rielly (born in London, UK) is based in Paris, France.
The intimacy suggested in Winnie Mo Rielly's practice is at the heart of her multidisciplinary work. Her works intertwine a mapping of documented bodily movements with diverse perceptions of space.
Winnie will present her first institutional solo exhibition at the MEP in Paris June 2026. She recently was awarded the Île-de-France Region - FoRTE Contemporary Art Prize and the Adagp Connexion France grant. Her work will be presented soon Hussenot, Alkinois (Athens), and sissi Club (Marseille). Recent group exhibitions include Frac - Les Réserves, Essais, Chateau La Coste, Magasins Généraux, Théatre Nationale de Chaillot, Galerie Sans-Titre, Galerie Balice Hertling, Les Rencontres d’Arles, La Fondation Fiminco, Camden Art Center (UK). Her works are held in the collections of FRAC Ile-de-France, Dior, Société Générale, and Chaumet.

Cassandre Muñoz is a movement artist. Her practice explores the vibratory space opened by the polysemy of a state, a gesture, an intention. D.A. and choreographer of the company So Far, her research crosses multiple acts: dancing, sailing, blowing, staring, exhausting, losing. She currently collaborates with the artists Emmanuel Eggermont (All over Nymphéas), Volmir Cordeiro (Abri), Youness Aboulakoul (Ayta), Lisa Boostani (Passages), Annabelle Playe (Magna) and NSDOS (PP).

Alexandre Nitzsche Cysne (born in Rio de Janeiro in 1998) has been living in Paris since 2022, where he completed his Master’s degree (with highest honors) at the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris in Tatiana Trouvé’s studio. During his studies, he collaborated with artist Sophie Calle. He is the recipient of the Prix Baudry d’Asson, awarded by the Amis des Beaux-Arts de Paris (2024), and of the Prix Carré-Sur-Seine (2025). His artistic approach is grounded in affective animism and stems from his interest in an archaeology of the sensible: the possibility of intersecting stories through the recovery of urban and domestic materials and minimalist gestures. His intentions crystallize in the form of sculptures, installations, and drawings. The artist plays with life at the limits of the world.

Viktoriia Oreshko (born in 1997 in Sarny, Ukraine) graduated with highest honors from the Monumental Painting Department of the National Academy of Fine Arts in Lviv in 2018. She then continued her studies at the École supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Bordeaux, before joining Tim Eitel’s studio at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2022, where she graduated with highest honors in 2025.
Through objects, interiors, and everyday details from her native country, she brings forth subtle presences. Beneath this softness, however, a tension emerges, where reality and violence surface in filigree.

Daniel Otero Torres' multidisciplinary work encompasses practices as diverse as sculpture, installation, ceramics, painting, and drawing, which has linked these different facets since the beginning. Many of his works are distinguished precisely by a unique technique, on the border between drawing and sculpture, marked by a virtuoso photo-realistic line applied to monumental structures in cut steel. This process produces a material and contextual shift. In general, his images do not represent a single person, but a visual and historical collage created from different sources: archives, old books, contemporary newspapers or online sources.

Born in Istanbul in 1997, Emre Özakat explores the memory and circulation of digital images through painting. He reconfigures images found online into canvases where they are warped, stretched, or fractured, and where obfuscation forms a pictorial language. Thin layers of oil, fading into the linen, lend the images a spectral presence, highlighting the tension between fleeting digital circulation and the slow temporality of painting.
