Aïcha Snoussi

admin — Mon, 24 Mar 2025 14:28:36 +0000

Aïcha Snoussi’s work tackles issues of deep-rooted narratives, authority, balances of power that shape history and social dynamics from a marginal perspective . She embraces drawing as a practice of proliferation, therefore occupying visual space-merging with installations made of sculptures and meticulously collected, engraved and assembled objects and organic materials. In her practice, crayons take the shape of a blade dissecting paper and concepts. She uses fiction to question memory, ruins, vestiges of the erased, gender norms and resistance. She digs within her mediums through an archeological approach pushing layers of an encyclopedia transformed into an anti- knowledge book or engraving bones in order to extract political content and singular languages.

Selected exhibitions and biennales: 1.54 Contemporary African Art Fair (New York, London) Biso Biennale, Burkina Faso, 2023; , (Re)générations, Reiffers Art Initiatives, 2024 Les Portes du possible, Art & Science-fiction, Centre Pompidou Metz, 2022.

Louis-Cyprien Rials

admin — Mon, 24 Mar 2025 14:12:13 +0000

Louis-Cyprien Rials has traveled through and lived in conflict zones, radioactive areas and forbidden zones. Born in Paris in 1981 and now living and working in Baghdad, Rials uses video, photography and sculptural installations to paint a silent, sometimes mystical picture of these areas scarred by violence. His moving pictures, made up of still shots that are often long and devoid of human presence, tell of the impossibility of capturing these abandoned and transformed spaces, imbued with beliefs and riddled with stigmata.

Selected residencies: Hestia Belgrade 2017, CPA Bahrain 2014, Résidence NCCA Russie 2014

Selected exhibitions and biennales: Fondation Le Corbusier, Paris, 2024, Biennale de L’image Possible de Liège 2024, Palais de Tokyo en 2019.

Salomé Chariot

admin — Mon, 25 Mar 2024 16:24:47 +0000

(b. 1995, France). Lives and works between Lausanne and Paris.

Combining visual vocabulary of technology with organic matter and processes, Salomé Chatriot creates physical and virtual spaces that explore the intimate relationship between man and machine. The artist’s digital images, installations and sculptures evoke a sense of harmony, in disagreement with techno-negative sentiment. Instead, Chatriot’s practice allows for space of coexistence, where organic flows, such as breathing and fluid circulation, are intertwined with the digital realm, revealing unexpected similarities between the human body and new technologies.

Salomé Chatriot has exhibited internationally, with selected group exhibitions including Palais de Tokyo (Paris), The Shed (United States), Centre d’art Contemporain de Geneve, (Geneva), New Galerie (Paris) and TTBC (Copenhagen). The work of Salomé Chatriot has been, among others, reviewed in Purple Magazine, Galerie Magazine, Clot Magazine, NONFICTION 02 and Coeval Magazine.

Yasmina Benabderrahmane

Yasmina Benabderrahmane works with film and silver photography with an experimental approach. Her instinctive artistic practice is located halfway between documentary and filmed diary. She collects and probes the sensitive and visible world as well as the loved ones who surround her. It focuses by fragment and as close as possible to invisible matter, both sound and visual, to create a corpus of fixed and moving images.

Selected exhibitions: ACCEA-NPAK, Yerevan, Am. (2024) ; Palazzo Delle Esposizioni,Roma, It. (2023); ART MILL MUSEUM 2030, Doha, Qa. (2022)

Zuzanna Czebatul

By deploying monumental relics, commemorative infrastructure and architectonic interventions, Zuzanna Czebatul questions how political ideology produces an aesthetics of power and how it can be altered. Her sculptural work takes the form of columns, obelisks, tapistry, archeological remnants and other architectural displays that undo, twist or renegotiate the values they traditionally harness. “Building up to better break down,” is the motto under which she remodels the aesthetics of power into a powerful aesthetic that sparks a transformative potential for a coming society.

Selected exhibitions and biennales: Baltic Triennial BT 14. Vilnius, 2021, Kunstpalais Erlangen 2020; CCA Futura Prague, 2019.

Selected residencies: Fonderia Battaglia Milano 2022; CCA Ujazdowski Castle Warsaw 2019.
