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.

Chelsea Lehmann

Year/s of residence : 2026, National Art School

Visual arts

Chelsea Lehmann is an Australian artist whose practice spans painting and drawing. The female figure is central to her work. Through gesture and movement, she explores the body as a mutable physical and social form. In her oil paintings, shifts in viscosity, layering and erasure allow figures to surface, fracture and dissolve.

She describes her approach as ‘para-history painting’, reworking figures from historical images so that familiar gestures take on new meaning in the present.

Lehmann holds a PhD from UNSW Art & Design and is Head of Painting at the National Art School, Sydney.

Anniina Lehtinen

Year/s of residence : 2021, Capsule

Music

Anniina Lehtinen is a Finnish composer, pianist and performer who has been living in Paris since 2014. She composes for piano and a variety of other instruments. She sometimes adds her voice and elements of nature to her music. Her style ranges from classical music to film music, indie and electro.

She graduated with a master’s degree in interpretation (piano) from the Haute École de Musique de Lausanne in 2011. She plays recitals, leads philharmonic orchestras and performs in chamber music.

Since her arrival in Paris, she has been working with visual artists to enrich her music with their art. Since 2017, she has been composing and performing Water Rituals, which combines her music with experimental video works by artist Iiris-Lilja Kuosmanen. This project has led her to perform several times in France, Finland, Spain and Russia among others. She creates sound installations and deepens her research on water and oceans. She also composes dreamy electro tracks by adding her voice to layers of synths.

She has integrated into the international artistic collective “Micro Galleries” by making multidisciplinary cooperations with other artists around subjects ranging from human rights, to climate change in the present situation of the pandemic.
