Hector Garoscio
Hector Garoscio strives for an aesthetic ideal based on an appreciation of beauty experienced as a dynamic and interactive event; a modified state of consciousness, a moment of poetry and grace. Intuitively, he has come closer to the surface, its reflections and its parallel dimension. As full as flat, it hides an abyss of interpretations, a true ground of imaginary. Like a threshold, it marks the physical transition between two worlds, two potentials.
Anaïs Gauthier
Anaïs Gauthier was born in 1991 in Paris. Anaïs Gauthier’s immersive installations simulate life that stubbornly persists in failure. She sets in motion various chain reactions within a paradoxical ecosystem where the organic and the mechanical merge without ever fully managing to coexist. Exhaustion is symptomatic of this mutual rejection. Yet these technological reliquaries and these autoimmune forms depend on one another. She regularly collaborates with engineer Matthieu Grivelet, blending art and technology.

Bérénice Gaça Courtin
Bérénice Gaça Courtin is a multimedia artist based between Geneva and Paris, and a graduate of HEAD – Genève. At the intersection of tapestry, performance, sound, and technology, she develops a practice that considers textiles as a political infrastructure capable of revealing the relationships between bodies and systems of power. Drawing on the history of cryptography specifically that of the Enigma machine, which her grandfather, the Polish resistance member Kazimierz Gaca, worked on her research creates a dialogue between coding devices and digital culture.
She is currently presenting a textile and sound installation at Manifesta 16 Ruhr, the European Nomadic Biennial, in the Ruhr region (Germany), in an exhibition curated by Krzysztof Kosciuczuk and Anda Rottenberg.
Clémence Gbonon
Clémence Gbonon is a French artist born in 1994. Her painting work embodies a space of conflict, transformation and the pursuit of self-determination. Between abstraction and figuration, her work articulates dreamlike visions of Black consciousness in search of itself. Clémence Gbonon studied at the Beaux-arts de Paris and the Cooper Union, New York. Her work has been shown in France, the United States, Europe and Nigeria.
Gerard & Kelly
Gerard & Kelly is a duo formed by Brennan Gerard and Ryan Kelly since 2003. American artists based in Paris since 2018, they have been collaborating for two decades in a multidisciplinary practice between performance and installation, integrating film/video, writing, drawing and sculpture. Having studied ballet, visual arts, literature and the sociology of gender between them, they use conceptual strategies to examine broader themes of memory and history, sexuality and subjectivity. Their questions are often posed in the context of a particular architectural space, pushing the site's socio-cultural and political precedents into open dialogue with their work.
Quentin Germain
Quentin Germain, born in 1987, grew up and lived part of his life abroad, notably in Brazil, the former Yugoslavia and China, where he studied at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. He entered the Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2006 and graduated in 2012 in the studio of James Rielly. Fascinated by archaeology and German romantic painting, he is imbued with the aesthetics of the sublime, perpetuated in the work of Gerhard Richter or Anselm Kiefer, painters who have greatly influenced him. More broadly, cinema and scientific imagery are other essential sources of inspiration for him. His work unfolds through several mediums: painting, sculpture, drawing and installation. Since 2016, his research focuses on ruin and the passage of Time, through series of landscapes and objects that question the duality between natural and artificial. Whether in his paintings painted on oxidized steel, or in his concrete sculptures immersed in the open sea, technique dialogues with living matter, figurative order with natural chaos.
Rotem Gerstel
Rotem Gerstel was born in Israel in 1988. She currently lives and works in Paris. Her multidisciplinary artistic practice varies between sculpture, video, installation, drawing and sound. She is a graduate of the BFA Ceramics and Glass Department at the Bezalel Academy of Art in Jerusalem, the Audiovisual Department (VAV) at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam and the European Postgraduate Program in Sound Arts at the KASK Academy of Art in Ghent.

sensitivity to classical African, Indo-European, Asian, Atlantic, and Oceanian arts. She sees her practice as a commitment to an intersectional perspective.
Marine Giraudo
Marine Giraudo (born in 1991 in Paris) is a photographer and collagist. She graduated from Ecal in 2017. In a world bathed daily in images, it can be difficult to stand out with a singular visual identity. And yet, Marine Giraudo has managed to anchor herself in the era of time by using antithetical mediums but with equally impactful effects. The image is her domain. She began by creating universes using virtual reality. If technological innovation has allowed her to realize many collaborations, it is on the contrary by returning to 2D and existing material that she flourishes today. From textures, shapes and colors of the images she selects or photographs, she imagines collages and recomposes a whole new visual universe, alternating commissions for the fashion world and personal creations.
Antoine Goldet
Antoine Goldet (born in 1992 in Paris) studied anthropology and politics at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London, before pursuing an MA in video journalism at
Columbia University in New York.

Célia Gondol
Célia Gondol (born in 1985 in Grenoble), a visual artist, choreographer and dancer, places her work in the fields of choreography, music, astrophysics, fundamental physics and spirituality. She questions the limits of representation and the possibilities for transmission and interpretation that a work can contain. The speeds, the movements, the dimensions that elude our scales and our everyday representations: this is what the artist places at the heart of her approach.
Federico González (Suricata)
Federico González (Suricata), Mexican multidisciplinary musician and sound artist, bridges indigenous traditions with avant-garde electronic music. Exploring rave culture as an experimental space, he creates links with museums and galleries, questioning sound’s role in cultural identity, social change, and resistance. Based in Paris, he blends field recordings, handmade instruments, and an acid political approach.
Corinna Gosmaro
Corinna Gosmaro (1987) is an Italian artist who lives and works in Paris. Her work reflects on the timeless characteristics of the human being intended as a cultural and global entity. She is interested to highlight how most of the gaps related to our understanding are due to the difficulty to go out of the cognitive paradigm and how the latter pushes us constantly to experience through a sort of narration which not necessarily coincides with the reality itself. In 2020 she is the recipient of the Italian Fellowship at the American academy in Rome and in 2021 she is resident at the Fondation Fiminco. She has exhibited her work in numerous exhibitions in Italy and abroad.

Focusing on the wilderness, the silent forests, fascinated by mythology, and biodiversity, she brings us into a hypnotic, sensual, and colorful vision of a paradise not quite lost.
Jerome Grivel
The work of Jérôme Grivel (born in 1985 in Mulhouse, graduated from the Villa Arson in Nice in 2010) develops a critical reflection exploring the entangled, sensory, physical and spatial relationships between situations, environments and bodies, and the social, political and psychological states they entail. Declined on the performative mode, his practice unfolds through different disciplines and threads of thought (sculptures, drawings, architectural projects, performances, videos).
Misha Gudwin
Misha Gudwin is an artist and curator born in Voronezh, Russia (November 23, 1995). He lives and works in Paris. He graduated from the BAZA Institute of Contemporary Art in 2021.

Angèle Guerre
Angèle Guerre (born in 1988 in Paris) graduated from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Paris. She develops her artistic practice by exploring different ways of cutting into the surface. Whether it is by scraping an old mirror or making incisions on paper, the aim is to make the material visible and produce another space with it. It is a film falling apart, a protection fading away, a skin swelling, and therefore a sensation being suggested.
Pauline Guerrier
Pauline Guerrier (born in 1990 in Clamart) shares her time between various workshops in Italy, Maghreb, Portugal or Chili. Weavers, glassblowers, stone carvers, glaziers, mosaicists and many others constitute her daily life: she observes, analyzes and learns. Perpetually seeking to learn these ancestral techniques, she confronts the knowledge of yesterday with the world of today and of tomorrow.
Cécile Guettier
Cécile Guettier (born in 1992 in Paris) graduated from the School of Fine Arts of Nantes Métropole in 2018. She was selected for the Révélations Emerige Grant in 2021 and awarded the Villa Noailles Prize.
Exploring Cécile Guettier's work, our gaze is simultaneously carried away by vibrant colors, a teeming multitude of lines, a variety of materials, and captivated by clear composition and sensitive outlines. The artist's intent encounters on canvas and paper, at the crossroads of details, a peculiar happenstance, accidents inherent to the language of painting, which align with her representations and reinforce them; it's as if the image preexisted like a magnet within the blank canvas, and any blot falling onto the surface was destined to fill it. The figures present in her work belong neither to dreams nor nightmares; chimera-like, their enticing colors keep us from being frightened by them, and their unsettling actions make us want to encounter them. It is perhaps this ambivalence that makes the contemplation of these works so generous; a silent excitement settles in, our imagination travels from clue to clue. Through their plastic and narrative singularity, Cécile Guettier's images take their place in our memory alongside those that provided us with answers while simultaneously inventing the questions.
Raphaël Guez
Raphaël Guez (born in 1996 in Paris) is a digital artist and designer who works on the links between spirituality and technology. Using digital collage, video, or 3D, he tries to create various universes where discrepancies in scales, spaces, and emotions question the future of humanity in the age of technology. A machine learning engineer by training, he now wishes to link data and 3D immersion in his artistic approach.
Juan Gugger
Juan Gugger (Dean Funes, 1986) is an Argentinian artist living and working in Paris. He works generating site-specific situations, sculpture, writing, drawing, photography, and video. Gugger’s work explores the subconscious domain of habits and assumptions he considers invisible forces shaping the world. Much of his work hack these unconscious aspects in architecture, globalization, technology, and their relationships with the non-human nature.
