As artist-in-residence at the Musée Henner, Victoire Mangez will occupy the museum's studio for six months and present the fruits of her labour from 4 October 2023.
Victoire Mangez graduated from the Beaux-arts de Paris in 2021. Worn tiles, grotesque ornamentation and spectacular fountains are all points of departure that enable her to develop her ideas through a play of rebounds and analogies. Victoire Mangez is the winner of the Prix Dauphine pour l'Art Contemporain (2023), and curated the exhibition "Eaux d'artifice" at the Palais des Beaux-arts in Paris (2021) and "Olifant" at the Château de Moyen, Lorraine (2017). She has also been working with Ulla von Brandenburg since 2021.
With works by Anouk Rabot, Aurélia Casse (2022 graduate), Manon Jacob (2021 graduate), Romain Moncet (2020 graduate), Thibault Bouedjoro-Camus (2020 graduate) and Hamideh Harfi.
Head of studio at the Beaux-Arts de Paris since 2015, Nathalie Talec is a sculptor, painter, video artist, photographer and musician. A performance artist, she works on the question of the extreme.
Fascinated since childhood by the polar expeditions of explorers, nourished by Paul-Emile Victor's journeys and writers' accounts of snow and cold, she draws inspiration from them in her work.
This book brings together her texts and interviews, as well as a lengthy introduction by art critic Jean-Yves Jouannais, who also teaches at the École.
Winner of a production grant from Rubis Mécénat in partnership with the church of Saint-Eustache and the Beaux-Arts de Paris, Marc Lohner, a 5th year student, is presenting an installation of five strips of fabric suspended in the heart of the church. Curated by Marc Donnadieu.
For the Acheiropoïètes exhibition, a Greek term meaning "not made by the hand of man", Marc Lohner did not attempt to represent the divine, but wanted to reveal what the hand of time, or sometimes involuntarily and voluntarily that of human beings, has left on the walls of the church. To do this, he systematically photographed all the faces of the octagonal limestone blocks that serve as the bases for the church's eighty-two interior pillars, as well as other parts that are less accessible to the eye but still bear the original traces of the building's various construction periods.
After making, sorting and classifying all the images obtained, he printed the most characteristic of them on five strips of translucent linen fabric that he hung between certain pillars, almost twelve metres high. Thanks to subtle effects of perspective, tone on tone and transparency, the photographic skins of the church are superimposed on its natural limestone skins, the pixels of the image on the grains of the stone. In this way, the viewer's gaze is carried away by a double, inverted movement of falling towards the paving on the ground and rising towards the aerial vaults, a constantly renewed coming and going between materiality and immateriality, gravity and lightness, shadow and light...
