Guillaume
Linard-Osorio_______iinstallation
(FR)
Talented and restless young artist Guillaume Linard-Osorio works on the
boundaries of contemporary art, architecture and design. He takes the usual
objects and transforms them, showing the hidden part of all we use on an everyday
basis. It is at the same time a big laughter and a profound reflexion about
our world in term of politics and ecology for instance.

P.
Nicolas Ledoux _________
painting / drawing
(FR)
P. Nicolas Ledoux investigates the practices of contemporary art in his
debate with history, communication, and his business
P.Nicolas Ledoux
provides us with drawings, composite images, photographs, invitations, slogans,
and apparitions. He centers his work around questions whose answers browbeat
both their author and those they are directed to: "is it still possible
to produce pictures, to give them life and enough weight to take on the world?".

Frank
Hulsbomer __________________
photo (GE)
Frank Hülsbömer is a young photographer from Berlin. Discovered by
the gallery after his participation in Expo 2000 in Hanovre, he has been continuously
renewing his work. .

He has also done a curious series of views of auditoriums and seminar rooms
at Berlin's Charity Hospital and Humboldt University, with perfect lines and
no human presence. The background is very sober and simple : ranks of empty
chairs, stages without teachers, tables without papers. Coupled photographs
show a particular space from two opposed angles: one from the point of view
of the teacher, the other from that of the students. Thus the space where
knowledge is presented and revealed is juxtaposed with, and kept separate
from, the space where knowledge is received and absorbed.

Shepard
Fairey __________________
street art (US)

The visual
codes used by Shepard Fairey, aka Obey Giant, are worthy of those of Stalinist
propaganda, but here they highlight the mechanisms of advertising propaganda
which invade public space. Currently based in Los Angeles, Fairey's rising
success has helped transform his once homemade Xerox style into lush multi-colored
screen prints.

Mireille
Loup _______________
photography (FR)
This notion of life as the "obstruction" (...) is
essentially what feeds Mireille Loup's work. Through narrative photography
and fiction or nonfiction texts, Loup's art continuously draws on life as
it unfolds, a complicated mix of more or less controllable reality, future
plans, and vexations. A form of art therapy? Nothing is less certain. An ironic
penchant for debunking myths gives rise to a caustic form of expression that
leaves us feeling that Loup is not inherently bent on perfect health. (Paul
Ardenne)

Ray
Caesar __________________digital
art (Canada)

London born, now based in Toronto, artist Ray Caesar creates a fantastic
world of people radiating with an enigmatic serenity. His bio-mechanical figures
seem to emerge from a sci-fi fantasy land, lush landscapes, and Victorian
sensibilities. Even though they are futuristic, these works are also marked
by an inspiration from the works of Frida Kahlo, Salvador Dali, and Paul Cadmus.
He has mainly shown his work in the USA, Australia, and Canada.

Kosta
Kulundzic________________
painting (FR)

Kosta Kulundzic concentrates his work on belief and mysticism in our society.
Modern society produces myths and heroes. It offers a priceless quantity of
idols and images related to the worship. Kosta uses these images to paint
very actual mystical characters, altered divinities, who seem closer to us.
They come from our everyday life. Working on texts from the Bible, the artist
underlines that the same old story always goes on, and nothing really changes.
Laurina
Paperina ___________
painting / video (IT)

Laurina Paperina utilizes instruments of the net generation,
immediacy and speed, and filters them through the manuality of design in order
to put into discussion just that internet culture which she feeds upon. In
her works she gives life to ironic animations and superheroes of which she
creates protagonists, enjoyable characters like space frogs. They are simple
subjects but extremely powerful, symbolic, as a new language, the visual language
of the next generation.

Gonzenbach _____
__instllation
(SW)
"Art is what makes life more interesting
than art" Robert Filiou
My entire work is based around the floating
notion of everyday and its extraordinary banality. By slight changes I create
new situations made out of common raw material. My aim is to arouse attention
by using only well known things but in uncommon ways (tanning the hides
of electric appliances, building houses in corn flakes...) I am tracking
the unnoticed of our everyday life. Food and daily objects are my field
of action. My pieces work like a developer bringing an unexpected look of
our world. I am looking for the unusual angle to look at the world. And
this arises the question is there any usual one?

Alain
Delorme_____________
photography (FR)
Alain Delorme
was awarded the Arcimboldo prize. The series Little Dolls questions the identity
of the little girls who are playing with their looks as contestants of beauty
contests. Through a pixel surgery as Alain Delorme puts it, he captures and
changes the girls' looks and brings a sour criticism of how our society uses
innocence.

West
_______----------------------____street
art (USA)
Recognized as one of the most prolific artists in
the New York Graffiti scene throughout the 1980's and 90's. He began painting
on the number 1 Broadway local subway line in 1984. Throughout the 1990's,
West, along with his 'Fame City' crew has been recognized as a major influence
in the NYC graffiti movement with large scale graffiti mural paintings. Since
2001 West has pushed into the realms of abstract expressionism and stripped
the artform of all of it's traditional trappings of color, medium, and process.
As a result a new unique language has emerged.
