Born in 1974. Lives and works in Paris.
Printing / Multiples Screen printing, video, sound, painting…
Julien Sirjacq’s artistic work takes place on various platforms, modulated according to current inspirations and the artistic partnerships he has developed. In the realm of sound, he co-founded ‘The Bells Angels’ in 2009 with artist Simon Bernheim (musician from the group "10lec6", Ed Banger label). Together, they respond to commissions that allow them to develop their editorial strategies within exhibitions: sound productions, installations, radio workshops, visual identity, exhibition catalogues etc. In his painting, printing and photogrammes practice, he works in a duo with Thomas Fougeirol under the name ‘Suzzanne Wirz’.
After teaching at the Beaux-Arts in Bourges and Angers, he took over the direction of the screen- printing studio at Beaux-Arts de Paris, where he coordinates a publishing practice module looking into production / distribution issues in publication in partnership with with Aurélie Pagès and Catherine de Smet (graphic design historian). The studio focuses on both photosensitive work and painting and takes into account the obsolescence of mediums in the digital age. It therefore creates a bridge between mechanical, chemical and digital processes. His extensive involvement in the school is supplemented by the organisation of lectures on the issues of image semiology, performance and subcultures.

Born in 1975 in Saint-Martin d’Hères, Aurélie Pagès lives and works in Paris. Aurélie Pagès’ artistic practice invests various mediums: drawing, photography, writing, editing, printed image or text. Publishing allows her to confront these various approaches.
Printing processes account for a constant source of experiments that nourish her research. Printed material can be found notably in constant dialogue with drawing: face to face, back and forth, mutual borrowings. Gratuated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, specializing in engraving, she has taught in the Beaux-Arts of Quimper and Angers. She has also multiplied experiments and collaborations in the field of publishing, with artists and art editing workshops: Jim Dine, Jose Maria Sicilia, Michael Woolworth Publications, L’Œil d’Or, La Barque… She regularly exhibits in France and abroad.
Wernher Bouwens was born in 1969 in the Netherlands. He lives and works in Paris since 1994.
In his paintings and printed works, the surfaces act as resonances, chromatic and graphic frequency modulations. Its screens are built according to the processes of printing where colors are placed one after another, mixing only by superposition. What emerges is a project that involves recurring issues of our relationship to the reality of the artwork, materials, media, color and of course of the technical usage.
French by adoption since 1994, he graduated from the Kunstacademie Saint Joost de Brada (the Netherlands) and learnt lithography at Editions Michael Woolworth (1994-1999), an expert in art publishing. There, Wernher Bouwens learnt traditional printing techniques and launched several projects: “Nomades” magazine, “Etincelle” art books and “Printjam”, an improvisation project. Later he taught at the Beaux-Arts de Quimper (2002-2006), and at the Art Décoratifs in Paris (2004-2009). In 2009 he opened his own studio in Paris, focusing on printmaking, painting and drawing as well as monumental installation. To him, printmaking really is a creation device. He regularly exhibits his work in France and abroad.
