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.

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.
