Güneş Terkol was born in 1981 in Ankara, Turkey. She lives and works in Istanbul, Turkey. She takes inspiration from her immediate surroundings, collecting materials and stories which she weaves into her sewing pieces, videos, sketches and musical compositions. She is also a member of the HaZaVuZu artist collective and the GuGuOu band.

Güneş Terkol has organized workshops with women in Turkey, China, Germany, Italy, Austria and the UK, where women with different backgrounds come together to create art collectively. Güneş Terkol developed this idea of workshops while she was a member of a feminist art collective.
The collaborative aspect of making art is essential to her practice, as it brings women together, providing a space in which they can speak about their experiences as women, and giving greater visibility to women’s voices. Güneş Terkol plans to make her new banner workshop in Paris during her residency.

Anna Ternon’s research is situated at the meeting point of different practices related to the diversity of her experiences in the dramatic and visual arts. The issues she addresses between the construction of memory and the geomorphology of landscape, constantly weaving relational links from text to plastic form.

In her career as an artist, the experience of landscape is a strong marker that has engendered the vast majority of her creative processes. This experience extends through various artistic forms mixing installations, sculptures, performances and writing practices, leading him to continually renew his relationship with studio production.

Her thinking about landscape is part of a perpetual back and forth between inside and outside, the intimate memory and physicality of nature, the contemplation and confrontation of the body with its environment. More recently, her interest has focused on a precise questioning: the identification of the dynamics that make up the landscape.

In October 2020, she will join the doctoral program SACRe at the École normale supérieure to deepen, during three years, her research on landscape construction, mixing geosciences, neurosciences and artistic practices.

In recent years, her work has been presented in many venues in France and abroad such as Galerie Paris-Beijing, Mains d’oeuvre, Galerie du Crous, La Générale, Glassbox, Coherent and many others.

Taunatere is a 25 year old artist from Punaʻauiʻa,Tahiti. A graduate of the Centre des Métiers d’Arts de Polynésie française (2020), she specializes in wood sculpture. Her work draws inspiration from Polynesian nature and culture, blending a naïve, colorful aesthetic with poetic depth. Her distinctive technique blends bas-relief and painting in puzzle-like forms, centered around the expressive qualities of wood. Through her practice, she explores creation as a space of dialogue between tradition and contemporary sensitivity.
