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

Alix Marie (born in Bobigny in 1989), is a multidisciplinary artist whose work mainly mixes photography, sculpture, and installation. She is a graduate of Central Saint Martins College (2011) and the Royal College of Art (2014) in London. Her work explores our relationship to the body and its representation through objectification, fragmentation, accumulation, and enlargement processes. The questioning of the construction of gender gets intertwined with autobiography and mythology to construct poetic and visceral experiences.

In 2019, she received the Vic Odden Award by the Royal Photographic Society, which recognizes the work of a photographic artist under 35 years of age. In 2021, she presents her new work Styx at the National Center of Photography in Ballarat, Australia and she is included in the “50 Pioneers Defining 21st Century Photography” in Charlotte Jansen’s Photography Now published by Tate Modern.

Recent Exhibitions: RAW, Rembrandt Museum (Rembrandthuis, 2022), Amsterdam; Nude, Fotografiska New-York and Stockholm (2022), Sorsi di Sale, NContemporary, (2022); Sucer La Nuit, Musée des Beaux Arts Le Locle (2019).

Music

Independent artist Damascus-born, Wael Alkak is an experienced author of unique electronic music that combines genres and cultures.

After graduating from the Damascus Conservatory of Music, he became interested in Syrian popular music at a very young age, practising a multitude of instruments such as bouzouki, percussions, saxophone and keyboards, and digital music.

Driven by democratic values and overwhelmed by the frozen elitism of the art world in his country, Wael Alkak participated in the first pacifist demonstrations in 2011. As a result of these events, he composed his first musical album: Neshama, a contemporary collective project that interprets traditional rhythms in electronic versions, combining folk music with classical Arabic, inspired from revolutionary anthems born from pacifist demonstrations.

Since 2013, Wael Alkak has been performing all over Europe, between Paris, where he now lives, Berlin, London and Copenhagen. He presents during his live set Neshama (2012) and Men Zaman (2017) which he mixes with new electronic musical compositions. Wael Alkak draws his repertoire from the folklore of the Levant (Chaâbi).

His live performances mix tradition and modernity, where synthesizer sounds and bouzouki melodies produce a transcendent style, inviting bodies to let go.
