Crush is an opportunity for young artists from the school to showcase their work-in-progress to art professionals, including curators, art critics, gallery owners and directors of art centers and museums. All artistic practices are represented: painting, drawing and sculpture, as well as performance, video and photography.
For this exhibition, a new configuration of the modular scenography designed by artist and designer Olivier VADROT has been imagined by the exhibitions department.
Performance day on Saturday March 15, detailed program to follow.
With the support of Rubis Mécénat and Sisley.
CURATORS
CHRIS CYRILLE-ISAAC
Freelance poet, art critic and exhibition storyteller Chris Cyrille-Isaac studied philosophy and art theory at the Université Paris 8. He has written articles for several French magazines.
Chris Cyrille-Isaac is a member of AICA (Association Internationale des Critiques d'Arts) and was awarded the Prix Dauphine pour l'Art contemporain (2017), the Prix Jeune Commissariat at the 69th edition of Jeune Création, and the Prix AICA in 2020.

HORYA MAKHLOUF
Horya Makhlouf is an art critic and curator, and co-founder of the Jeunes Critiques d'Art collective in 2016. A graduate of École du Louvre after several years of preparatory classes for the grandes écoles, she defends the emancipatory capacity of the arts in society, and likes to combine different approaches in her practice, borrowing from art history and the social sciences. Through writing and exhibiting, she explores the ways in which memories are formed, how big and small stories circulate, and what poetry can contribute to these processes.
She writes for the Moroccan magazine Diptyk Magazine, has collaborated with the specialized journal 02, and has taken part in the Visual Arts section of the podcast “L'esprit critique” (Mediapart). She contributes to the podcasts PQSD (Jeunes Critiques d'Art et Projets Média) and “Verni-es” (Projets Media) and co-founded the podcast “Le Croissant de feu” with artists Seumboy Vrainom :€ and Rayane Mcirdi.
In 2023, she imagined an itinerary of exhibitions, performances, readings, workshops & DJ sets for the Nuit Blanche de Césure (Paris 5). She has been artistic coordinator and curator of special projects at Palais de Tokyo since 2024.
