Lya Garcia before creating accessories and headwear, Lya Garcia was a mime. In 1998, she created masks for the 1999 Isabelle Marant fashion show. In 1999 and 2000, she taught crochet art at the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe in Hamburg. These tentacular forms and little groping monsters, hypothetically looking for a mooring, give shape to a very personal universe in which headdresses and jewelry fill the space. Lya Garcia's style can be defined as a phantasmatic gesture that crosses fashion and mime. (Text presenting Lya Garcia at the Musée Galliera, "Modes à suivre 2" exhibition in 2002).

COLLECTIVE ART SHOW

VERNISSAGE JANUARY 27TH
In December 2022, Mémoire de l'Avenir published a call for artists. This call, entitled REGROUP ! was in fact more of a rallying cry; the expression of a desire to bring together ten artists whose practices would shed a light on that which can be learned and gained from artistic creations which articulate togetherness in a singular, personal and committed way.
The outcome, presented January 28th to February 18th 2023, is a transdisciplinary group show including works in sculpture, drawing, painting and photography by artists from Belleville, France and elsewhere.
The worlds that emerge from the gestures of these ten artists are small and marvelous paradoxes: expanding fields of possibility that enlarge as the elements that compose them grow closer together.
What singular magic operates when things, energies, individuals adhere, attach, regroup ? What ideas, experiences and objects can result from such procedures of assembly ?
The exhibited works explore these questions either through formal experimentations, conceptual research or social and collective creative protocoles and for that, Mémoire de l’Avenir congratulates the participating artists.
Antoine Guilhem Ducleon "After a few very rewarding years in architecture, I felt the need to turn to documentary or reportage photography, I have acquired a great technical mastery and a fine perception of the phenomena that affect places, people or objects, in general, the photo composes, decomposes, recomposes and escapes. My photos are raw, without retouching, without artifice, in the instantaneous."
Batia Eissenwasser Jancourt was born in Haifa, but grew up in Montreal. In 1971, she settled in Haifa Israël and started teaching in the Art Department at Haifa University where she was Senior lecturer and Chairperson. She has exhibited her artwork extensively throughout Israël and in select group shows internationally (Chicago, Dusseldorf, London, Berlin and now Paris).
Clothilde Lasserre is a doctor in mathematical engineering and has devoted herself to a career in visual arts for the past 20 years. Filled with colour and symbolism, her work testifies the need for individuals to cultivate their singularity while living together. Between painting and ceramics, the artist translates her vision of human relations. Links are created encounters materialize and give us faith in each other. Oscillating between figuration and abstraction, her compositions perfectly embody the tension between multitude and unity. Her works express the balance between the need to preserve our individuality and our need for contact with others.
FROP collective brings together artists around creative actions spontaneously (im) planted in the urban space. The objective is to propose a form of collective artistic intervention tinged with their plastic practices and the societal and ecological concerns that go beyond the conventional framework of the exhibition. These interventions aim to establish an artistic and performative dialogue with the places where they are located.
Emma Nony lives and works in Paris. A graduated in Applied Arts at the École Duperré, she first worked as a stylist and then as a decorator. Nevertheless the need to for full creative freedom and the desire to build a singularity through matter quickly leads her to develop her own artistic work using fabric. When she moves to Belleville, the neighborhood plays an important role in her exploration of the artist’s place within a community. This leads her to intervene in artistic workshops and collaborative creations with the local communities. Her artistic approach, which plays on both art and craftsmanship, led her to join the vAteliers d’Art de France. In 2021, she takes part in the contemporary fabric art exhibition «Fragment(s)» at the Musée de la Chemiserie et de l’Elégance masculine in Argenton-sur Creuse.
