Anne Bourse was born in 1982 in Lyon. She lives and works in Paris. What remains in mind from her work are swirling lines and letters, something like burlesque cartoons or psychedelic frescoes that invade the surfaces of books, garments and papers of all types. But even though her practice is varied across different media, including painting, drawing, but also textiles or textual productions, it is above all rhythmed by the continual motion of a writing of the self.

Mathis Collins develops a practice mingling sculpture, performance and poetry. He works around popular objects and artisanal practices whose catalogue of forms he reinvests via collective experience and an absurdist approach. He alternates exhibition projects and workshops, thus placing collective creation at the heart of his practice.

Through his work, he questions the artist’s responsibility in a carnival society, torn between brutal individualism and the fantasy of a popular collectiveness, in which power has been transmuted into a show. He thus evokes, with a large dose of self-criticism, the place of the artist in the world of art itself in which the roles of puppets and puppet-masters seem to be constantly redistributed.
