ARCHIPELAGO OF PORTRAITS
For the White Night event, Archipelago of Portraits transforms a repertoire of 400 portraits of Villejuif residents into over thirty sculptures made of painted laser-cut wood. The play of positive and negative shapes is accentuated by the lighting. Installed in a school gymnasium, small sculptures surround a few large ones (up to 250 cm high), scattered like islands in an archipelago.

OÙ EST LA DIFFÉRENCE ? 2020
This group exhibition takes gender as its theme, pairing male and female artists with thematic or formal similarities. My ORACLE electronic card game and wall paintings depicting the mutation of the Covid-19 virus dialogue with Olivier Garraud's disident pseudo press cartoons. Our shared interest in mapping current affairs, the ironic use of text and a taste for high impact graphics motivated this "arranged mariage."

The exhibition Off the Map at the Post Office Gallery is a continuation of my interest in taking supposedly unappealing urban zones as the subjects of tourism campaigns. Based on a decade of traveling to ex-Soviet outposts, post-industrial regions and unloved neighborhoods full of social housing, this is a call to reconsider where you’d like to spend your holidays. My visitors’ center for neglected destinations brings together wall paintings, photographs and travel anecdotes.

From March to May 2015, this ever-changing exhibition turned Le 116 into a creative sweatshop. Mornings were devoted to study of the urban fabric, afternoons to making work in dialogue with the art center’s visitors. Wall paintings inspired by the surrounding residential and industrial architecture were filled in as the weeks went by. Paintings of facades, signposts and aluminum laser cutouts under glass bubbles were added progressively, creating an indoor environment devoted to celebrating the world just outside its doors.

Mise au vert, 2015
Six artists, French, Icelandic, Swedish and Australian have each developed unique work. Yet they all share a strong interest in architectural questions. Each has its own form, either drawing, painting or sculpture. They are concerned with integrating the space, whether indoor or outdoor, domestic or natural, while paying particular attention to the materials used. They gathered in the Maison Louis Carré, which is both intimate and strongly influenced by nature, for a debate and to ‘go green’.
