As a group, we have been having regular discussions together through studio visits,
apéros, screenings and performances. We share common interests as such as dreams,
various levels of (un)conciousness, magic, deep time, and mythology.
With this exhibition we are continuing this dialogue between us through our work,
in our studio at the Cité des Arts. All Welcome.




I trace you

as I erase you

I am dispersed


your confidence puzzles me  

and I’ve refused to think about you

as you are tension


you smoke a lot

you are alone

and you wait


your lack of words

disappears  

in the night’s stillness


not surprising me

you insist  


you are the flight

you flicker

in the absence that contains you


you are movement

like a slow, and deep

stretch in a plane’s bathroom

you are a bit aloof  


drifting by sensing

you reach out


you are process, adventure, journey

always there

you live fully  


like siblings  

fighting on a couch  

throes of a magic high


you drive into me

you surround me  

on the rim

you move away

ships in the night

you and I  


you are not ashamed  

of your desire

for sex

for language

for geographies to merge

to cross over


you are warm  

you are I

singular multiple

home as self

home as w-hole



Of homes as self

Vincent Ceraudo (born in 1986 in Fontainebleau, France), is a visual artist based in Paris and Amsterdam. His works range from videos and films, to installations, photographs, and writings calling into question perception, the constructs of rationalism, and focuses on the experience and limits of the body, as well as the mechanisms of our sensory devices. He studied at the Villa Arson in Nice, (2008-2012) Postgraduate at Le Fresnoy in 2016. He is a fellow at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine USA, (2016) and was an artist in residence at De Ateliers in Amsterdam, The Netherlands (2016-2018) and received several awards including recently the Established Artists awards from the Mondriaan Fonds in Amsterdam in 2020, the CNAP research grants in Paris in 2019 and the the prize of the show-room in Art-O-Rama in 2014.

Anders Dickson lives and works between Holland and France. He attended the De Ateliers (2017-2019), The Staedelschule in Frankfurt am Main, and the Staatliche Akademie der bildenden Kuenste, Karlsruhe.

Kiarash Khazaei is born 1983 in Iran, currently lives and works in Paris. Khazaei studied at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste Städelschule, Frankfurt am Main (2015-2019) under Professor Amy Sillman and Monika Baer. In 2018 he participated in the Fire Island Artist Residency Exhibition, at Cherry Grove, Fire Island, New York. Upcoming exhibition at Lungley gallery (2021) [solo]. Kiarash Khazaei’s paintings offer glimpses into a subliminal world. Strangely intimate, his figures negotiate a space for both ideas and feelings, inflicted with a nervous empathy. He paints with intuition and immediacy, attempting to purposefully broach the fragmented expanse of affect, of embarrassment and awkwardness. As layers overlap and forms collide, Khazaei’s painting descends into a spectacle of action and associative reference where bodily experience, memory
and perception are implicated.

Anabelle Lacroix (she/her) is a French-Australian curator, writer and radio contributor. She is particularly interested in experimental forms involving performance, sound, speech and publishing. Working independently in Paris, she is currently based at Fondation Fiminco for a year-long residency focused on the politics of sleeplessness (2020). She is also a PhD Candidate in curatorial practice at UNSW Art & Design,
