Pooya Abbasian
Pooya Abbasian is an Iranian artist based in Paris since 2011. His practice unfolds through photography, video, drawing and installation. He aspires to make these processes visible but also to construct his own visual fictions through images he finds online on news sites and his own shots or recordings. Ambiguities and transitional states interest Pooya Abbasian more than assertions.
Arnaud Adami
Arnaud Adami was born in 1995 in Lannion. He lives and works in Paris. He graduated from the Ecole Nationale d’Art of Bourges (ENSA) in 2019 and is currently studying at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts of Paris (ENSBA), in Nina Childress’ workshop.

Carla Adra
Carla Adra (born in 1993 in Toronto) studied arts and anthropology in France, Canada and Mexico and is graduated from École d'Art et de Design de Reims in 2017. Through the performative form, Carla Adra reinvents ways of being together
and modes of transmission. Interested in psychoanalysis and alternative pedagogies, she proposes spaces-time for meeting and sharing: conversations, duels and collaborative workshops are organized according to precise protocols. In parallel, she develops an intimate sculptural practice that connects inner discourse and subterranean forms.
Caroline Ailleret
Caroline Ailleret (born in 1994 in Équemauville, Calvados) lives in Pantin and works in Aubervilliers. A performance and visual artist trained at the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris (DNSAP, 2024), she develops a research-based practice focused on trace and the scope of gesture, through forms combining performance, video, photography, and installation.
Through minimal dispositifs, her work questions the sensitive and ambiguous relationships between body, space, and time. Often elusive in their entirety, her pieces challenge exhibition frameworks and open attention toward elsewhere.
Bruno Albizzati
Bruno Albizzati (1988-2021✝) graduated from the École des Arts Décoratifs in Paris in 2012. Rooted in graphic and pictural work on paper and cardboard, his practice is articulated in
different poles: dry techniques with charcoal, graphite powder, and pigments on the one hand, pictural work with spray paint and aggregates of textured materials on the other.
Mathilde Albouy
Mathilde Albouy is a French artist born in 1997. With references to feminist science fiction and the hybridization of various narratives, Mathilde Albouy's work combines sculpture and installation. A ritual dimension animates all her works: religious ritual, playfulness or care, giving them a "disquieting strangeness". She hijacks objects and materials, testing them with simple gestures to create assemblages of organic and manufactured materials. Graduating from HEAR (Strasbourg) in 2020, then from École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs (Paris) in 2022, she has presented her work at Villa Empain (Brussels, 2023), FORMA (Paris, 2023) and Galerie Derouillon (Paris, 2023).

Estèla Alliaud
Estèla Alliaud was born in 1986. Her work is based on subtraction and has a sculptural dimension that deals with the intrinsic value of materials and their physicality. The processes she operates are essentially articulated around the intuitive observation of a place and its experience. The forms she places in space, mainly sculptures and installations, are created through simple but fundamental actions. Her works structure an architecture of thought that leads the individual to the seizure of a mental space.
Kenia Almaraz Murillo
Kenia Almaraz Murillo (born in 1994 in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia) graduated from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2020 with the jury’s congratulations. Through weaving, sculpture, and frescoes, Kenia relays her fascination for the geometric shapes and the symbols of Andean textiles. In rhythmic compositions, she pays tribute to the colored vibrations that she observes in nature. The use of light and of automobile headlamps allows her to give a symbolic and innovative dimension to traditional weaving.
Clémence Althabegoïty
Clémence Althabegoïty is a Paris-based designer and visual artist. Her practice occupies a hybrid space between design, art and science. Working in collaboration with scientific institutions, she explores silence, water and air, and the ways in which they interact with matter. Drawing on contextual analysis and material research, she conceives objects, installations and scenographies. In 2024, she was awarded the Prix Liliane Bettencourt pour l'Intelligence de la Main®. In 2027, she will be in residence at Villa Albertine in Los Angeles.
Sarah Ancelle Schoenfeld
Sarah Ancelle Schoenfeld investigates forms of knowledge production that shape, control, and reproduce reality. Convinced that the Western liberal worldview is not sufficient to address the growing global mess, she creates mysterious laboratories where solutions, healing, and meaning are jestingly reimagined. Her labs materialize through installations, experimental photography, sculptures, and instruments. Her works have been shown at Kunsthalle Mainz, Casino Luxembourg and Fotomuseum Winterthur among others.
Alice Anderson
Alice Anderson (born in 1972, France) has been performing individually and collectively, dancing with objects and spaces for about fifteen years. From these intuitive "Technological Dances," immense paintings and sculptures emerge: memorials of objects and places from our Anthropocene era.
The performer poetically reactivates the strong connection between the human and the non-human by initiating her performances with observation sessions of technological objects. Anderson doesn't paint with a brush but directly with an object coated in paint. These computers, drones, batteries, virtual reality masks (etc.) will then take hold of the artist, leading her into a dance rhythmized by hyperventilated breaths that guide her into a trance, into another dimension of the environment and matter.
Hannah Archambault
Hannah Archambault (born in 1996 in the suburbs of Paris, to a Polish mother and a French father) studied photography at the Gobelins school and entered the Royal College of Art in London, where she explored sound creation. Today, through installations, she is building soundscapes that challenge our senses and our spatial awareness. She likes to investigate everything that is invisible or difficult to decipher, like fantasy or the feeling of attraction-repulsion.
Bianca Argimón
Bianca Argimón (born in 1988 in Brussels) studied at the École des Arts Décoratifs, the Beaux-Arts de Paris, and the Rhode Island School of Design. She reproduces the short-comings of our society in modern fables that contain a thousand and one paradoxical, absurd, or comical stories. In the manner of medieval artists, in her works a swarm of details and allegories draws the eye into a whirlwind of ubiquitous situations, exploring the fears, prejudices, and taboos of the contemporary world.
Dana-Fiona Armour
Dana-Fiona Armour (born in 1988 in Germany) graduated from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 2018 winning the Joseph Ebstein Prize for sculpture. With science playing a fundamental role in her research and plastic work, Dana transcends the boundaries of matter and species into a new form, imbued with a strange sensuality. Bringing materiality to the forefront, her works consist of artificial silicone skins, smooth pink stones reminiscent of organic fragments, and blown glass with organic inclusions in layered patterns.
(EUR)ArTeC
The École Universitaire de Recherche (EUR) ArTeC brings together numerous organizations within the Université Paris Lumières (Paris 8, Nanterre, Louis Lumière, ENSAD, Beaubourg, Gaîté Lyrique, etc.). Its aim is to develop relations between the arts, research, and technology. The interuniversity diploma, hosted in Clichy, is a preparatory year for the PhD in research-creation orchestrated by Yves Citton and Grégory Chatonsky.
Marion Artense Gely
Born in 1995, Marion Artense Gély lives and works in Paris. She graduated from ENSAPC in 2020, and has been in residence at POUSH since 2021. Her work explores the tensions between the infinitely small and the immensely cosmic, blending painting and sculpture in a quest for buried memory. Using glazing and sfumato techniques, she reveals narratives in which the elements embody a sensitive presence, both luminous and spectral. Force, Energy and Emergence structure her work, particularly in ceramics. The recipient of residencies in Greece (Naxos, 2022) and China (Jingdezhen), she has exhibited in Paris (Galeries Myriam Chair, May, Dumonteil, Dauphine), Rome (Orient-Express La Minerva) and was a finalist in the Darmo Art Prize 2024. In 2025, she will present a duo exhibition with Denis Macrez at the Chapelle XIV gallery.
Arda Asena
Arda Asena was born in 1992 in Istanbul, Turkey. He is a 2021 graduate of the MFA program from School of the Art Institute of Chicago and received the Berlin Residency Award. As an interdisciplinary artist Asena’s practice is predominantly based in photography, sculpture, painting and textile. His work is drawn to multiplicity as a framework to explore the nuance of each medium, through various forms. He is interested in engaging a language that attends to notions of secretive eroticism.
Gilad Ashery
Gilad Ashery (b. Jerusalem 1993) is an emerging artist living and working between Paris, and Jerusalem. Ashery studied Fine Arts at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design (Jerusalem), graduating in 2022 and completed postgraduate studies at the Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2024.

Atelier au-delà
Atelier au-delà is a young French design studio. Trained in Boulle, the Esad de Reims and the DAE (Design Academy of Eindhoven). The duo Au-delà met in 2016 during a joint course at the Reims Higher School of Art and Design. Jonas Odetto (born in 1997) and Maxence de Larocque (born in 1995) create their studio in 2022. Based in Paris, they create a network and find their place within Poush Manifesto where they currently reside. Their work revolves around an encounter. Two singular universes are linked, thus creating a set of materials, shapes and designs to achieve a balance. Their collaboration is the result of an attraction for the poetry of objects, the materialization of a drawing or even the raw line.
Atelier Baptiste & Jaïna
Since 2017, Jaïna Ennequin and Baptiste Sévin form Atelier Baptiste & Jaïna. The duo imagine projects driven by natural and theatrical references. These references are activators of stories involving reality and imagination. The different possibilities offered by the material and especially by ceramics, allow the duo to explore the dialogue between form, texture and light. The objects and spaces become a support to the evocation of stories tinted of magic realism.
Grace Atkinson
Grace Atkinson (born in 1988 in New Zealand) is an artist and textile designer. Her multifaceted practice revolves around textile: it consists in creating tapestries and unique
artisanal objects by mixing traditional and experimental techniques. Through her design studio Decima, Grace Atkinson’s work is moving toward the design of furniture, interior objects, and custom installations.
Balthazar Ausset
Balthazar Ausset (born in 1995 in Paris) graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2020 and lives and works in Paris. Questioning is at the center of a shifting practice through which
he explores his environment as an artist and as an individual. Installation, sculpture, drawing and, photography are the languages used to give body to the idea, in the transposition of meaning to a form never frozen.
