« YOUNG TALENT »
EVENT, 12 SEPTEMBER 2011
On 12 September 2011, the Carla Bruni-Sarkozy Foundation brought together the first
classes of scholarship students at the Nikki Diana Marquardt Gallery in Paris the occasion
being an exhibition of the work of the students in the French American exchange program.
The event was attended by Mrs. Bruni-Sarkozy and also by the members of the Foundation’s
executive committee, Marie-Thérèse Geffroy, Patrice Corre, Jean-Paul Gaultier and
Jean‑Paul Scarpitta, as well as all the Foundation’s cultural and institutional partners.
The « Young Talent » exhibition was a tribute to the eclecticism and creativity of the work
of these nineteen French and American artists, after the exchange semester between
prestigious art colleges on both sides of the Atlantic.
The meeting also featured a piano recital by Nathanaël Gouin (Paris Conservatoire Supérieur
de Musique et de Danse / Juilliard School) who gave a magnificent performance of Gavotte
Variée in A minor by Rameau and Scherzo N°4 in E major, Op.54 by Chopin.

Within my work, I intertwine religion and psychoanalysis to invoke the human attraction to order and categorization. By overwhelming such systems of logic, I strive toward
a dialogue of chaos, where nothing is limited by its definition. My intension to continue
studies at the Sorbonne and Paris was to further incorporate French literature and Esotericism into my practice. During my year here, I hope to develop my work with the texts
of Joris-Karl Huysmans and Eliphas Levi to gain new insights into the binary of good
and evil, both the typified and the atypical.

The very first class I had when I arrived at the Sorbonne University was an initiation in creating artist’s books, and I haven’t stopped since. My final project for my undergraduate
diploma was an installation, which plunged the viewer inside of a room-sized book. The
objective of my research for my PhD is to show how my artistic expression is being a publisher. I have found that being a publisher is the best way to make copious amounts of books
while simultaneously exploring publishing as a medium. The project I initiated two years ago
to do this is called La Bibliothèque Fantastique (LBF).
LBF is a virtual publishing structure for artist’s books. All the books are free and downloadable from the website www.labibliothequefantastique.net, so they can be printed anywhere.
Most of our books are unique productions. La Bibliothèque Fantastique is a minimalist publisher in the sense that all the superfluous have been removed. Indeed, the books of LBF
have no predetermined physical existence, they exist in a state of potentiality on the web,
waiting to become. They cost nothing. They have no ISBN either, because they are works
of art. They have no colours, so that they can be printed in any printer. The idea is to show
various poetic singularities as opposed to the flashy commodities that our society feeds us.
What the LBF books do have is above all a great freedom of content, revealing a very large
and global conception of art. They contain all forms of expression usually found in print, i.e.,
drawing and photographs, as well as essays, novels, journalistic investigations etc.
LBF shows in both the art and editorial worlds, more specifically internet, art exhibition and
book fairs throughout Europe. My goal is to bring quality art to everyone for free, because to
me, art shouldn’t be a luxury but a right.

Inspired by reading Louis Marin, Michel Foucault, Marie-José Mondzain and Jacques
Rancière, I reflect on the diverse representations of the power of imagery. Contrary to the
majority of students that I met during my university career, I don’t have a predefined medium
before I start to research a subject. I reverse the process. Readings, meetings, news items
and current events attract my attention to a certain subject. I analyze and reveal its particularity then translate this creatively. In general, it’s the subject that leads me decide the way
in which I create my work, be it by photo, painting or an installation, and not the other way
round. My political opinions are not at the centre of my oeuvres. It’s not so much the subject
that’s important, but the way in which we are used to seeing it portrayed in society. Taking
the subject out of its habitual context, I attempt to give it a certain neutrality. Several of my
creations exacerbate with irony the functioning of an excessive media. However when the
image gains its autonomy, it can become a power against authority. The subversive character of pornographic imagery has the capacity to trouble public order. The different visual
codes used make us consider our own sexual practices. Because pornography touches the
intimate domain it escapes public authority. By wishing to control pornography, authority
persecutes pornographic imagery, and through this censoring penetrates into each individuals intimacy. Fearing the consequences of a sexually emancipated society, the authorities
ban pornographic institutions as well as certain artistic works. Using the terms obscene and
outrage against public morality (notions that are vague and evolve based on the sensibility
of each individual and the time in which it is set) authority has taken control of these powerful images and has immersed itself, without our knowing, into our private lives. By playing with the norms by which pornography is portrayed, I try to reveal through my artwork the
inherent artistic power of the pornographic image. My approach consists of restoring, in the
same creation, sexual and aesthetic pleasure whilst ensuring that the art work does not fall
into the category of obscene.

I’m a third year student in the illustration department at ENSAD (Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs), in Paris. I started studying applied arts and design in high
school, then when I was 17, I passed the ENSAD first year entrance examination and
moved from the provinces to Paris. I have always been inspired by images and more
recently by childhood illustration. This is why I wish to be part of the fall semester class
of Parsons, the New School for Design. I am also really interested in the toy concept
development course offered by this program. I think that it would be a very good way to
develop my work giving me the occasion to broaden my approach to design. The ever
changing dynamism of New-York is also a major draw, as there are few places with such
cosmopolitan riches and intense history. My artistic sensibilities could only be awakened
by such overwhelming stimulus. I believe that studying abroad is a very rewarding experience and to my mind I couldn’t learn from a better place than New York City.

As part of my thesis exhibition, at NYU, I considered the exhibition as a decentralized
event that takes place in multiple spaces (physical, temporal, etc) over the course of an
indeterminate amount of time. This challenges the idea an exhibition as an apotheosis and distributes the event and it’s receptivity. How do art objects shift in meaning
through the changing context of their conditions? With this in mind, I hope to transition into life in Paris with the production of new work and new curatorial engagements.
Paris and my studies at the Sorbonne would be an ideal situation to test and play with
the ideas that have gathered momentum during my studies at NYU as it is saturated with
a certain pedagogical history and beauty which informs the way I make work. This presents many opportunities to play with these constructs. Different methods of accessing
meaning are important to the way I situate my objects. In some instances the objects
themselves are secondary to the subject. In other instances the object is the subject. I
think of grammar and the construction of a sentence here. The work created in France
would investigate the physical and cultural spaces of contemporary consciousness, as a
site of fluidity and resistance.

As a fine arts PhD, the exchange student course offered by the Fondation de France at
NYU motivate me into starting new researches and developing older ones.
I’ve been indeed working on both an artistic work and a theoretical study. These past
years, I had the occasion to lead deeper conceptual studies and set the main lines to
my researches. My art work deals with a range of plastic elements that lead me to considering the role of embroidery and craftworks considered as feminine in contemporary
art. By assembling objects and sewing, the string ties up to the definition of drawing
whereas the materials sculpt spaces of transition and memory.
It is capital for my researches to have a dialogue with another culture. An academic term
in a New York university is a step forward for me and being confronted to new teaching
methods would allow me to set the basis to further steps in my research. That’s why I
choose a sculpture class and book making. Moreover, I focused on many artists established in New York City like Louise Bourgeois. This scholarship gives me the opportunity
to grow my knowledge close to the source.
During my high school years, I’ve always felt the need to confront theory and practice.
Working under your authority on your side of the ocean will improve my perception and
my experience abroad.

Within the framework of my doctoral thesis, entitled “Proliferative Installations, the Individual
and Collective Existence of an Art Work”, I wish to deepen the study of art object metamorphosis by means of its installation in what I call Proliferative Installations. The Proliferative Installations are assemblies of various works of art such as paintings, drawings, photographs and
sculptures. Can a nondescript object of art, when installed amidst others, acquire a form of individual and collective existence?
My doctoral research and in particular my work on the concepts of growth, ownership and existence of the individual work of art leads me naturally to achieve a period of study at NYU Steinhardt to take advantage of the education provided here and of the various creative workshops
offered by this institution.
I also want to deepen my knowledge on the work of American artists, notably New York artists,
such as Sarah Sze, Mark Dion, Allan McCollum, Barry McGee and Jim Shaw, artists and researchers with whom I would be in direct contact.
I’ve chosen to take the following courses at New York University:
Advanced Projects Printmaking. Projects selected by students to reflect their artistic preoccupations
or to provide research in particular skills, subjects, or trends in contemporary printmaking.
Graduate Studio Critique. M.F.A. Graduate Studio Critique is an intensely focused forum for critical dialogue & group discussion around each student’s work & ideas. Historical precedents &
research into conceptual practices & working methods contextualize discussion. The number of
students enrolled in each team-taught section is limited to 10 to ensure adequate time for the
exploration of each student’s ideas, as well as faculty presentations.
Critique and Review. Students meet each week by advance appointment with faculty, visiting artists,
& critics for individual critique & in-depth discussion of their work & the visual, technical, & theoretical issues that inform their practice. Students must present a body of work, or work in progress, to
studio faculty for assessment at the end of each semester.
Vocal Training (Private Lessons). Open to department graduate students majoring in music. Private voice lessons covering repertoire from all styles and forms, supplemented by extra assingnements. Attendance at recitals and master classes required.

I am currently in fourth year at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs
(ENSAD-National School of Decorative Arts) studying in the image department. During
my fourth year, I obtained for my first semester to participate in the international
exchange program proposed by the school. Since my first year, I’ve always been very
invested in my work and the school. I know that my studies will be determinative for my
career and future life. That’s why it’s important for me to make my degree course interesting and complete. The international Exchange Program is an opportunity to take and
I was particularly interested in attending the SVA of New York during the next semester.
The New York SVA has a department of Graphic Design whose specific programme and
teaching methods are of particular interest for me. Even if I chose the Image department at ENSAD, graphic design is everywhere in my projects: my drawings and the way
I present them.
Indeed, this department offers a good formation to the software and new medias thatis
really enriching my artistic practices. I’m also increasingly very motivated by learning page
setting and typography, two essential skills for our future work in books and images.
The school is an open laboratory where I can experiment with different techniques and
acquire new skills to improve my work. I believe that studying abroad is a very rewarding
experience that can give me more maturity, autonomy, and the ability to be confronted
with new pedagogical ideas in a different language.

International Center of Photography is a pole of study and research dedicated to the
photography recognized all over the world. It presents a real interest of movement and
investment and establishes a direct continuation of the education dispensed in the ENSP
of Arles. I chose to attend class in the suggestive name such as Picturing stories, Postcards from real world, Evidence of things partially true or still Transcending the gaze for
example. A lot of energy, dialogue and discussions are brought by fascinating teachers who ask us to experiment our own limits.I have the project to register this New York
experience by realizing a daily newspaper made of immediate images and words while
continuing my work of collage undertook for several years. The ICP brings me another
glance and helps me to investigate various directions while specifying my approach.
This experience is a real luck.

As an emerging artist who just had a first solo gallery exhibition in Berlin, Germany, in
September 2011, I hope to use both the cultural and physical positions of Paris as a base
to connect with both the French and European contemporary art scenes. French literature and philosophy, such as Jacques Diderot, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Georges Bataille,
and Alain Robbe-Grillet, among others, figure largely in my work. In my year in Paris,
I hope to continue my curatorial project The Notary Public, as well as develop a project
around Nicephore Nièpece and one of the first photographs ever made.

Première Classe/Who’s Next, in Paris
I’m a textile design student in my school in Paris, and I would like in my future to work
for a fashion company as a textile designer. When I learnt that an exchange was possible for one semester between my school and the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT)
in New York, I instantly knew that this was what I wanted to do. Actually, two years ago I
went to New York for one week with my other school, and I visited the FIT museum with
a friend. When I saw the campus, the students,… I told her that I would like to come
back one day and study here, for some time. And now here I am ! I also chose New York
because I have already visited the City as a tourist but I wanted to know how it would be
to live here, in the city that never sleep.
The FIT is, according to me, a perfect way to complete my studies. I wanted to learn
more about fashion, to be able in my future to discuss and understand better the fashion
designers, I am going to work with. But also because I want to work on a fashion textile design project for my final exam in Paris, and in my school I don’t have any fashion
classes to help me with this project. So I took different classes here both in textile design
(Painting on fabrics, Screen printing) and fashion design (Draping, Sewing techniques,
Accessorizes design).
I am very pleased with my life here,and the school is amazing. If I can, I would like to
come back after my exam and continue to study at the FIT which offers so many different and interesting classes.

Being in residence at the Juilliard School represent the most appropriate opportunity
for me to add new vistas to my training: a new perspective to my musical research, the
discovery of new approaches as regards work and technique, meeting other cultures in
the field of art and music.
The Juilliard School is a prestigious institution that either as students or pedagogues
has welcomed renowned artists such as Yo-Yo MA, Itzhak PERLMAN, Gil SHAHAM…
Because of the world-famous influence of this institution studying at the Juilliard School
represents a key and even crucial stage in the progression of a performer in search of
contacts with internationally famous music personalities and teachers. In my opinion
open-mindedness ( which for me is an essential human and artistic notion) fully defines
the Juilliard School since it attracts artists from all over the world and is equipped with
material aids of an exceptional quality that provide performers with infinite possibilities
for their practice.
So it is in this best place that I prepare a cello competition . I get the teaching of Darrett
Adkins and I participate each week to class organized that can play in front of other
students; In addition I have already booked a date for a concert in the Juilliard. I also
recorded chamber music, the orchestra, as well as courses in English composition. Also
In my view, New York City is one of the most culturally attractive places in the world. I am
keen and eager to discover NYC culture and to meet music people there.
I am convinced that a few months spent at the Juilliard School have a determining influence on the course of my life as a cello player.

It is my intent to better understand the European music scene by studying with a French
cellist in Paris this semester. In terms of my future career, I am extremely interested in
pursuing orchestral career options more specifically in France and Germany. By studying at the Paris Conservatoire I hope to gain a more intimate knowledge of the European
style of playing thereby facilitating this goal. By studying at the Conservatoire, I will
also hopefully gain the connections and experience needed to get my foothold in the
European music scene. My assigned teacher, Mr. Roland Pidoux, is an ideal mentor in
this pursuit. He has limitless experience as both a chamber and orchestral musician in
some of the most prestigious ensembles in France and his guidance has so far been
invaluable to my education.
I have also never had a chance to be in Europe for any extended period of time and am
excited to be experiencing life in one of the most vibrant cities in Europe and the world
during these three months. Although I do not speak French fluently, I am extremely
grateful for the opportunity to fully immerse myself in the language and complement my
study with French lessons.

I chose to go on exchange in New York because it seemed relevant to my job to turn to
areas that would give me more versatility. I think New York is a rich place and a source
of inspiration in many domains, it is a city on top in the fields of graphic design and
illustration.
In graphic design, in photography, in drawing and in architecture, the School of VISUAL
ARTS will bring me a lot in my work, in terms of variety and graphic inspiration.
I have chosen different classes to help my work mature. A class of pop-up which began
last year, opened the opportunity for me to work with a new medium. Pop-up books for
children are starting to be recognized as books and part of graphic design. I sincerely
hope to use the knowledge I’m gaining here to create plastic creative books and innovate. A class of drawing a naked model will reinforce my knowledge in realistic drawing.
I also chose a class of screen-printed book, which will teach me to manage my time,
be independent, find ideas quickly. The creativity matters more and more in the field of
publishing.
About my project I would really enjoy to be here to strengthen my painting skills, and
being inspired inspire by naturalist painters and the American melancholy movement,
as Peter Doig and Edward Hopper.

I am currently attending New York University’s Steinhardt as a part of a one-year
exchange between the Sorbonne University in Paris where I am regularly enrolled and
have begun my first year of doctoral study.
I chose to take advantage of this opportunity abroad because it is an exceptional occasion for me not only to advance my personal practice in an academic setting rich with
international diversity that only New York can offer and top-rate courses, but also I was
interested in acquiring the skills and knowledge necessary to be apart of the American
art scene.
My course schedule for this semester is structured around four courses which include:
video art, digital printing, art criticism and a course that matches students with visiting
artists well-known in their work.

When the opportunity to participate to the exchange program came to me I did not need
to think very long about the destination.
Since the first time I set foot in New York, 6 years ago now, I always wanted to return. But
not just as a tourist, I wanted to enjoy the dynamism of the city from the inside.
By learning about the proposed school, it turned out that only the School of Visual Arts
offered courses that would increase my skills acquired at Ecole Nationale Supérieur des
Arts Décoratifs: advanced lightning studio, photography in an editorial context, contemporary history of photography...
My works are oriented mostly around the concept of territory, geographical areas inhabited by human populations. As well as issues related to immigration, exile. Therefore
New York is for me, because of its history, the ideal place to continue my work.
I am currently conducting two separate projects. One about the Muslim community in
New York and more precisely on what the media called the “Ground Zero Mosque” - the
cultural center Park51-. And another on mutations of urban spaces within the context of
the ongoing financial crisis.

Why did I choose to participate to that exchange program with SVA ? Why New York ? There
are many answers to those questions. First of all I wanted do widen my artistic and photographic horizon by being in contact with a culture, with peoples, with a knowledge, with
pedagogical methods, with contexts very different from what I know in France. I wanted to
go in the United States and in New York in particular because a lot of artists and photographers whom I admire and whom inspire me are American and I wanted to experience that
physical and sensible space in which they built themselves, that space which they both criticized and glorified. I wanted to go to SVA because it’s a school in which many discipline
are taught (design, fine arts, illustration, ...) and according to me being in contact with many
people using different art medium is very rewarding for my own use of photography.
New York and the United States are also interesting for me because for now my work and my
projects are essentially focused on urban concerns (What are the entity which composed a
city ? how do those entity interact with themselves ? ...) and on the question of time ( effects
of time on how does urban landscape evolve, difference of temporality according to the different urban spaces and their function, ... ). So to develop my thoughts and my theoretical
approach to those concerns i choose three different classes in SVA, one is about the future
of documentary, one is about art in the first half (and a little bit after) of the twentieth century, and one about the relation between the past and the present in art.

To study at Paris Conservatoire for a semester is the opportunity of a lifetime for me. I have
always been interested in pursuing my musical studies in Europe, particularly in France,
as I have studied and been intrigued by French language and culture since I was in junior
high school. Last year, I gave my debut recital at the Louvre with my sister and was incredibly inspired by all that Paris had to offer. For my artistic development, I have always tried
to expose myself to myriad influences, styles, and approaches to the arts, and I knew that
studying in Paris would give me a rare opportunity to garner new perspectives. Specifically,
I was very interested in studying with Philippe Muller and playing chamber music with new
friends and colleagues at the Conservatoire. This exchange program has provided with a
golden period for me to fully immerse myself in my musical studies.

The possibilities that the International exchange gives to young people are very useful for
their development. It gives us the great experience to study in different country, meet new
people, live in multinational environment and work with internationally recognized teachers. I
have applied for this International exchange in The Juilliard School in New York City because
this university is one of the best all over the world and its long history and incredible faculty
members are impressive.
During my exchange program, I am taking several classes including Percussions instruments in the class of Mr. Gordon Gottlieb, Percussion ensemble with Mr. Daniel Druckman,
Performer’s Problems of 20 & 21 Century with Mr. Joe Sachs, The Modernist Era with Mr.
Joe Sachs and English and Composition II with Mr. Solarz.
I would like to realise several different projects to improve my artistic skills like taking part of
the concert of The Juilliard Percussion Ensemble on November 30th, performing in a special
project between the music and dance department on December 5th, realising a solo recital
in January 28th, performing in the second concert of The Juilliard Percussion Ensemble
during the John Cage Festival.
