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.

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 (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 (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.

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.

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.

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 (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.

Hugo Avigo (b. 1988) is a graduate of Central Saint-Martins (London) and Beaux-Arts de Paris (2015). His practice is based around investigations into public spaces, science fiction and chaos. His multidisciplinary practice includes installation, painting, sculpture and food.

His work ranges from collecting and assembling found objects to sound installation: the artist oscillates between different practices with the aim of keeping a global and non-specialized approach.

Julie Balagué (born in 1986 in Toulouse) graduated from the ENS Louis-Lumière. Since then, she has pursued a double career. On the one hand, she collaborates with the national press; on the other hand, she develops more personal projects. A resolute feminist, she has been working regularly on an intimate series on femininity and motherhood. Since her first series, she has conducted long interviews with the persons she photographs. The image becomes inseparable from the text or the sound. In the last few years, she has completed her practice with research on photographic materials and forms.

Simmon Ballagny (born in 1994, Paris) lives and works in Paris. He graduated with a master's degree in printed image from ENSAD in 2020, with honors from the jury. Since his graduation project, he has been exploring the practice of writing and its presentation through installation, drawing, reading, and especially humor. His inspirations are diverse, ranging from administrative documents and dad jokes to political speeches, grammar manuals, and lyrics from pop music. The composite nature of his works involves presenting them in diverse spaces such as magazines, design festivals, fanzines, writing and printing workshops, and various events. His curatorial activities have also led him to organize several guerrilla collective exhibitions, including one in his garbage room and another in the lockers of the Centre George Pompidou.

Rose Barberat (born in 1994 in the Jura) has been studying at the Beaux-Arts de Paris since 2017, at Tim Eitel’s workshop and then Nina Childress’.
Her practice of painting questions the contemporary issues of representation. Her paintings, conceived as “objects of contemplation”, discuss the idea of staging and cause a shift, a confusion between the likely and the real. Rose develops a figurative pictural vocabulary, using references to narration, the genre of the novel and more precisely to autofiction. She also examines the different ways to create fiction starting from documents obtained through photographic sources.

Pierre Bellot (born in 1990) graduated from the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris with congratulations from the jury in 2015. His work revolves around central questions of staging and construction. In his paintings, he organises his subjects - taken from various photographic sources or personal archives - to create fictions whose composition obeys its own rules and creates a new meaning.

Born in 1992 in Algeria, Abdelhak Bennallou entered the School of Fine Arts in Paris in 2020 after 5 years at the Fine Arts of Algiers and an art degree obtained in Dunkirk in 2019. Abdelhak's work in painting is built on a realistic practice. In addition to its technical quality he seeks through his works, often presented in series, a pictorial narrative. He develops a reflection on behavior and social relations. His inspiration is drawn from everyday life.

Cecilia Bengolea (born in 1979 in Buenos Aires) works on a range of media including performance, video, and sculpture, using dance as a tool and a medium for radical empathy and
emotional exchange. Infused with the symbolic energies found within nature and relationships, her compositions are formed around the idea that the body – both individually and collectively – as a medium. Cecilia develops a broad artistry where she sees performance as animated sculpture, where she herself is both object and subject in her own work.

Nina Berclaz (FR-CH) is a choreographer/dancer/puppeteer. She relies on the territory of the body to apprehend contexts and explore the invisible. Her practical and conceptual research is interested in notions of belonging, memory, alienation, transmission, eroticism, the game of de/contamination, queer feminism, and raw presence that can welcome the absurd. Nina graduated with a BA in Contemporary Dance from TrinityLaban London Conservatoire (2013) and a Masters in Choreographic Research from Montpellier ICI-CCN Occitanie (2019). She has made numerous collaborations with visual artists, composers, directors and is involved in the development of collective artistic approaches. In 2020, she was a laureate of the Cite Internationale des Arts de Paris. Since then, she has presented her work in many festivals in Europe and internationally (Greece, England, Germany, Burkina Faso, Congo, Switzerland etc.)

Maëva Berthelot is a choreographic artist and teacher whose work is characterized by experimental, collaborative and transdisciplinary approaches. Born in 1985 in Paris, of Guadeloupean and Greek origin, she obtained her MA in contemporary dance from the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Paris in 2003. However, it is abroad that she pursues her artistic career for 20 years. Her return to France brought her a critical look at French society and institutions and the issues that persist there. As a result, she sees the choreographic space as an opportunity to create places of resistance, empathy and emotional exchange. Drawing on somatic practices and improvisation techniques, her research is anchored in movement and conceives the body as a receptacle for the echoes of individual and collective memory. In parallel with her work as a performer (Ohad Naharin, Hofesh Shechter, Roberta Jean, Emanuel Gat, Damien Jalet, Sharon Eyal...), her practice explores the multiple layers of the body as well as the invisible systems and structures to which it belongs and with which it interacts.

Sa pratique consiste à réaliser des essais cinématographiques à partir de l’expérience vécue lors de gestes performatifs. Son travail s’inscrit dans un contexte de recherche fondé sur la pratique superposant un cadre artistique à un cadre scientifique.

Mehdi Besnainou Dounkas is a French artist born and living in Paris. He studied at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts de Paris (graduated in 2018) and at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Appliqués et des Métiers d'Art (ENSAAMA). Mehdi Besnainou's work questions with humor and sarcasm the rites, codes and current trends of his generation and those of his contemporaries. He often projects himself into an imaginary and dystopian future to better reveal his identity and social crises. Whether in his most introspective or derisive thoughts on the human condition, his psychological troubles and dilemmas facing his place in a standardized society, his work is characterized by a permanent game between oral, written and drawn language, a compulsive daily repertory of analogy on the movements of the world, like a polymath in the digital age.

Amélie Bigard is an artist working primarily with painting, sculpture, and installation. Her work explores the social forms of suffering, collective neuroses, and the images that emerge from them. A graduate of the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris-Cergy and Marseille, she also trained as an icon painter of Greek Orthodox tradition at the Church of the Dormition in Marseille. Amélie Bigard has exhibited in various cities including Paris, Milan, Nice, Lyon, Montréal and London.

Lucie Boiron (born in 1990) is a photographer. She graduated from the ENS Louis-Lumière.
Operating as a colorist, she sculpts flesh and angles, questions the biological truth of bodies, sometimes fascinated by sensuality and filthiness. To us who don’t see it anymore, the body recalls its true condition, a territory that carries shared but unique states, a vehicle for traces of stories that only skins who have suffered can understand.

Bea Bonafini (born in 1990 in Bonn) works with painting, textile, drawing, sculpture, and ceramics. She graduated from the Slade School of Fine Art in 2014 and from the Royal College of Art in 2016. Her work revolves around the coexistence of incongruous ideas and forms, spanning ancient and modern art history, fluid identities, religion, and material craftsmanship. She places the observer at the epicenter of the work, questioning the tangibility and the intimacy of a work and its ability to formulate new mythologies and material possibilities.
