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
Clément Courgeon graduated with honors from the Beaux-Arts in Paris. He lives and works in Pantin.
His practice is a tangle of performance and plastic creation. He gives life and words to characters, surrounding them with costumes and props, to shake up both social codes and the conventions of performance art. Each performance features one of his characters – the jester, the peddler, the wooden man, the Prince of the Tire-lire, and all the others to come – in an episode of his life, crossed with words that the artist plucks from his diary and mixes with invented, false and often far-fetched words.
He offers viewers a readily comic and enchanting spectacle, sometimes reflecting the social malaise born of deviance and marginality. Taken together, the character’s performance and the look of his costume and accessories reveal an aesthetic that can be described as pop-grotesque, halfway between carnival and folk traditions and our contemporary modernity. Clément Courgeon’s work is driven by the desire to create ex nihilo his own referential corpus of traditions and to build backwards his singular identity heritage, distinct from the cultural blur dictated by consumer society.
