Born in 1965 in Valladolid (Spain). Lives and works in Brussels.
Working from texts, archival documents, sound elements, Dora García tells real or fictitious stories to question and shake society. Through a protean work (videos, writing, performances and installations), she enjoys shaking up the traditional relationships between the work and its viewer, within the exhibition space. His stagings, combining fiction and reality to the point of confusing them, create original situations, both intellectual and playful, where active participation of the public is required, sometimes obligatory, in the creation, activation or destruction of her works.

A french artist, Jeanne Tara studied visual art at the Haute École d’Art et Design de Genève (HEAD) then art practice at the École de Recherche Graphique in Brussels. Originally, she focused on painting and drawing but she also practices sculpture and spatial installation.
Before devoting herself to the visual arts, Jeanne Tara trained in classical and contemporary dance. These years of dancing marked her relationship with the body and gestures. In her artistic practice, she questions spectators through immersive installations in which visitors can wander, all in a research on the body and the territory. How does the nature of a place influence bodies? How do we interact with objects in our environment?
In 2015, Jeanne Tara was awarded the Caran-d’Ache Prize. She continues to evolve and highlight her work thanks to numerous residencies, notably at RITA residenzia in Turbigo in Italy, at La Chaux de Fonds in Switzerland or even in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea with the sailboat Bise Noire.

She then graduated from the National Supérieure d’Expression Plastique (DNSEP) at the Clermont-Ferrand School of Art in 2013.
“My departure for France had a considerable influence on my plastic work. I developed my interest in what was now out of sight, disappeared and invisible and reconnected with my love of fabric.” Her works explore various mediums such as video, installation, performance, poetry as well as work on fabrics. The latter, omnipresent in his works, fascinate with their capacity to hide as well as to reveal, to bring together the visible and the invisible. According to her, textiles “act as both a border and a link”.

An artist based in Paris, Silvana Mc Nulty began her studies in 2013 in the field of jewelry at AFEDAP in Paris and the Holts Academy of Jewelery in London. She continued her education in Amsterdam at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie from which she graduated in art and design.
She continued her apprenticeship at the Haute École des Arts du Rhin in Strasbourg (HEAR) in 2019.
His artistic work lies at the crossroads of sculpture, installation and jewelry. Her practice of weaving allows her to assemble organic and artificial materials: pearls, seeds, metals, plastics… She thus creates hybrid objects that arouse confusion in the viewer. This personal assembly technique comes from an approach guided by the desire to design his works on the scale of the hand. His work revolves around matter, matter in movement which adapts to the space with which it comes into contact.

Born in 1962, Frédéric Lormeau lives and works in Dijon. He completed a master’s degree in Visual Arts and Art Sciences at the University of Paris 1 Sorbonne in 1985, where he graduated with high honors. Since then, he has continued to accumulate personal and collective exhibitions.
The artist and his plastic works cannot easily be cataloged. Lormeau’s work is halfway between sculpture and painting. His works are a kind of “composite” which does not exist solely through their aesthetics. The artist questions the object, its form, its material future, its purpose.
In 1995, during the Cinq/Funf exhibition at the Villa Streccius in Laudau, a house that belonged to a Jewish family, Lormeau imagined the steps of the young girl of the house, steps stumbling against walls, windows, doors. The artist requested a dancer who moved around the space of the villa carrying one of these objects, a sculpture of a beer fountain in which a compass was inlaid. The dancer’s movements transcribe a journey as marked as it is fatal. Lormeau’s artistic works are tools of intercession which lead to an encounter, a questioning, a dialogue.

The artist is interested in the living conditions of disadvantaged on both sides of the Mediterranean. His work takes the form of documentary approaches which draw the social and political contours of these environments through the photography of public spaces. The human presence is at the center of his work, questioning the traces left by culture and History.
As part of his residency in Meyzieu, a commune in Lyon, the artist asked the residents of the local minors’ penitentiary to offer their point of view on their exit to the outside from the inside.
His works have been included in several permanent collections of museum institutions; for example, four of his photographs are now in the MAMC+ collection in Saint-Etienne. In 2023, he recently won the HCB Prize awarded by the Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation.
