The Department of Artistic Practice comprises thirty-four studios under the responsibility of artist-teachers. The studio is a place for artistic practice, creation and experimentation. It is also a space for debate, exchange and criticism. At certain times of the year, particularly during graduation or assessment periods, it is transformed into an exhibition space.
Hicham Berrada is a graduate of the Beaux-Arts de Paris (2011) and the Studio National des Arts Contemporains - Le Fresnoy (2013). His work combines intuition and knowledge, science and poetry. In his works, he uses experimental and scientific protocols to activate different natural processes and/or climatic conditions. "I try to master the phenomena that I mobilise in the same way that a painter masters his pigments and brushes". His work has been exhibited at the Louvre-Lens and the Hayward Gallery in London in 2019, the Yokohama Triennale in 2020 and the Bourse de Commerce - Pinault Collection in Paris in 2023.
