Pascal
Aumaître

Wood techniques

After studying cabinetmaking and wood sculpture at the Saint Luc Tournai Institute, he obtained his Beaux-Arts diploma from Paris in 1986. In his multidisciplinary work, Pascal Aumaître exploits the transformative capacity of the wood medium and attempts to to interfere in the intimacy of the material in order to create forms which touch as much on the tradition as on the contemporary.

Tatiana

Bojan
Sarcevic

Studio professor

Photographs, prints, collages, video installations, sculptures and in situ interventions… Bojan Šarčević holds nothing back. His work focuses on architecture, volumes, structures, frames and limits. Construction, deconstruction and reconstruction are the key words of this work in which lines and other geometric figures draw fragments of architecture in space, in 3D. In a neo-constructivist spirit, he deconstructs pieces of Arts Deco buildings, moving volumes to make abstract sculptures.

CANCELLATION
Laure Prouvost - Thursday 16 June at 6.30pm

We regret to announce that the conference with Laure Prouvost is cancelled this evening.

A new date will be scheduled soon.

Éric
Poitevin

Both minimal and pictorial, Éric Poitevin's photographs present bodies, animals and plants with great acuity, most often in a face-to-face situation outside of any context. Éric Poitevin is a sort of collector who takes his samples in nature, in his immediate environment. The same object, explored from all these facets and possible points of view, represented on a neutral background, then takes on a new dimension.

Guillaume
Paris

Studio professor

Initially attracted by cinema and conceptual art, Guillaume Paris obtained a scholarship to study engineering at the Cooper Union in New York and ended up studying visual arts at the same time. After graduating, he continued his research at the Institut des Hautes Etudes en Arts Plastiques in Paris. He was then artist-in-residence at the Core Program in Houston, at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam and undertook doctoral studies in cultural anthropology at University College London, before becoming a resident at the Villa Médicis in Rome.

Angelica
Mesiti

Studio professor

Angelica Mesiti is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice combines performance with video, sound and spatial installation to create immersive environments of absorption and contemplation. Mesiti has long been fascinated by performance, as a mode of storytelling and a means of expressing social ideas in physical form. In recent years, she has produced videos that reveal how culture manifests itself through non-linguistic forms of communication, and more particularly through sound and gesture vocabularies.

Emmanuelle
Huynh

Studio professor

With Emmanuelle Huynh, dance enters into a relationship with literature, music, light and architecture. She studied philosophy alongside dance. 

Dominique
Figarella

Studio professor

The whole body is involved in Dominique Figarella's abstract painting, which is both playful and learned. He has taught at the Villa Arson and at the Beaux-Arts in Nîmes and Lyon. Trained at the Villa Arson in the legacy of Supports/Surfaces, from which he has broken free, he never ceases to question the pictorial process in his approach. Gestures, accidents, traces such as splashes and imprints are integrated into his paintings with a sense of discrepancy and a touch of humour.

Tim
Eitel

Studio professor

The figures in Tim Eitel's paintings are usually depicted from the back, a little away or somewhere else. The artist induces the presence of a quasi-observer whose gaze embraces the anonymous passers-by who pass in front of him or her. They are caught in motion in neutral environments, outdoor landscapes and public places. Bathed in coloured greys and sober colours, these figures are as if in suspension, captured far from any affect.
