Andy Rankin
Andy Rankin's curatorial research is oriented towards the intersection of collapse, eschatological and speculative thinking, with a particular interest in the imaginaries of disaster. Whether it's a theatrically reproduced earthquake, a powdered exhibition reminding us of the finitude of all things, or a mobile exhibition stashed away for a post-apocalyptic world, his projects are born first and foremost from a desire to slip into the interstices of possible futures and experiment with the exhibition format.
Brieuc Remy
Brieuc Remy's work, at the crossroads of painting and drawing, resembles a long fiction whose represented figures would be the protagonists. What form(s) will the living beings that populate the earth take once the domestic animal has put an end to human life? This could be the apocalyptic question that the artist tries to answer, not without humor, in a serie undertaken two years ago. He is interested in the relationship between man and the subjects that make up his natural environment.
Manon Ritaly
Coming from trainings favoring self-production and a free practice of design by desire, Manon develops a singular formal vocabulary where the drawing occupies a place of
place of first order. Through the line, the forms in volume emerge. The work of metal allows her instinctively to freeze a movement by infusing a little of herself into the
the realization. The objects born from this process take place in the daily life as many talkative creations. Her affinity for color and matter finishes by giving life to her drawings in space.
Clara Rivault
Clara Rivault (born in 1991 in Paris), after graduating from the Beaux-arts de Montpellier ESBA.MOCO and obtaining a Master’s Degree at La Cambre, joined the research laboratory “Ceramic as an experience” at the Beaux-Arts de Limoges.

The concept of “body” is essential in her research.
Jack Rothert Garcia
Jack Rother Garcia (born in 1987 in Montreal) is a self taught artist working in Paris. His pratice covers a range of mediums from collage to painting to printing, flyers and photography. His work often deals with unfiltered exploration of self, often alluding to themes of solitude, absurdity, fear, tenderness, self deprecation, and social commentary at large. This is mostly achieved through a combination of text, abstract color work, and appropriated pop imagery.
Rotolux
Rotolux is a collective workshop founded in 2015, by Léna Araguas, Alaric Garnier, Anaïs Leroy, and Dimitri Robert-Rimsky, initially in a former printing house in Bagnolet. Rotolux has since been transformed into a space for work, research, and production, hosting exhibitions, projections, and performances. This variable geometry entity has thus become a new multidisciplinary team of artists, researchers, graphic designers, and curators.
