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.

Alex Baczyński-Jenkins was born in 1987 in London. He lives and works in Berlin. Alex Baczyński-Jenkins is an artist and choreographer engaging with queer affect, embodiment and relationality. Through gesture, collectivity, touch and sensuality, his practice unfolds structures and politics of desire.
His works have been presented in Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia (Spain, 2022), Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma (Finland, 2022), Meetings on Art at the 58th Venice Biennale of Art (Italy, 2019) Kunsthalle Basel (Switzerland, 2019) Chisenhale Gallery (United Kingdom, 2017).
Alex Baczyński-Jenkins will continue with his research into the looped and tangled relations of desire and loss, while focussing on disorientation, the thresholds of recognition, the eerie and the absurd. He will also take this time to reflect on his methodologies and the medium of choreography as a way of producing experiences of emergence and shifting perceptions of time. This will happen in dialogue with collaborators and in response to the context.Through this residency he will develop performance scores and writing, have movement research time and rehearsals with performers, contributing to the development of a new body of work.

Born in 1989, the year of the fall of communism in Romania, Alexandru Petru Badelita is a director. He has been living in France since 2014, when he began his studies at the Fresnoy – Studio National des Arts Contemporains. With a background in film editing and animation, his work focuses on experimental videos, hybrid documentaries and unconventional fiction.
Often, his projects tend to have an autobiographical starting point. Nevertheless, through them, its purpose is to highlight marginalized life experiences; to reveal thoughts and feelings that are often repressed by the mind; to challenge injustice, corruption and the status quo.
Surrealism, Dadaism and the art of collage fascinated him and influenced his creativity.
“Today, I agree more and more with this quote: Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable (Cesar A. Cruz). That being said, let’s not forget that we are all made of stardust and that the present moment is all that matters.”
