Artists in residence
Each year, the Cité internationale des arts welcomes more than 1,000 artists from around the world, offering them a space for creation, research, and exchange in Paris, in the Marais and Montmartre districts. Open to all artistic disciplines—visual arts, music, literature, film, design and architecture, performing arts, and curating—it enables artists to develop their projects in an environment that fosters experimentation and meaningful connections.

Visual arts
Pauline Boudry and Renate Lorenz have been working together in Berlin since 2007.
They produce installations that choreograph the tension between visibility and opacity.
Their films capture performances in front of the camera, often starting with a song, a picture, a film or a score from the near past. They upset normative historical narratives and conventions of spectatorship, as figures and actions across time are staged, layered and re-imagined. Their performers are choreographers, artists and musicians, with whom they are having a long-term conversation about the conditions of performance, the violent history of visibility, the pathologization of bodies, but also about companionship, glamour and resistance. Their sculptures and objects often refer to the potentiality of performance, using materials that connect to props, stages, costumes, microphones, wigs or dance floors.
Pauline Boudry and Renate Lorenz’s work has been presented in numerous institutions including MUAC Museum, Mexico City (2025), Philadelphia Museum of Art (2025), the 35th São Paulo Art Biennal, Brazil (2023), the Crystal Palace/ Reina Sofia Museum Madrid, Spain (2022-23), Centre Pompidou, France (2023) or the 58th Biennale di Venezia, Italy (2019).

VISUAL ARTS
Julien Bouillon (France) is a visual artist, born in 1971. He lives and works in Paris. In 1998, he received his MFA at the École nationale supérieure d’art de la Villa Arson in Nice. His work has been exhibited, among others, in the United Kingdom, Spain, Germany and the United States.
In recent years, Julien Bouillon has worked to hijack a certain number of standard formats (paintings, design objects, magazines, photographs) in order to produce specific objects.
His work is developed on the basis of a multimedia approach but he keeps a permanent interest for all techniques. In his book “Against the Method”, Feyerabend defended the idea that there are no immutable methodological rules that scientists should always use, and that would unquestionably guarantee the validity of their research. He criticized such a prescriptive methodology for limiting the scope of scientific activity and thereby restricting scientific progress. According to him, a “hint” of methodological anarchism could only be beneficial to science. This is what Julien Bouillon aspires to in his artistic practice.
