Artists in residence

Cédric Minlo is an illustrator and cartoonist of Cameroonian origin, born in Yaoundé. He won first prize in the Mboa BD comic strip competition in 2011.

In 2013, he joined KIRO’O GAMES, Cameroon’s first video game design studio, as an illustrator.

A few years later, he became a freelance illustrator. He is co-author of the comic strip Android Night, published in 2018 with Darius Dada. For several years now, he has been working to promote the profession of cartoonist, comic artist and other drawing-related occupations, and runs a variety of drawing-related learning workshops.

Starting in 2021, he will be offering three interactive episodes of the Android Night comic entitled Android Night: Pandemic (2021), Android Night: Total Zero Energy (2022) and Android Night: Legacy (2023), in which he will involve his readers by giving them the chance to make choices that will have an impact on the outcome of the episode.

He creates his own web-show, “Ça dessine!”, available on YouTube.

Winner of the Cité 237 residency program at the Institut français du Cameroun and the Cité internationale des arts in Paris, he is developing a new comic strip project entitled Campus Money Baby.

Ad Minoliti was born in 1980 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where they live and work. Ad Minoliti’s draws on the legacy of geometric abstraction in their native country, Argentina, where geometry was used as a tool to imagine utopian political and social alternatives. The artist combines personal abstraction and playful figuration freely inspired by the codes of children’s iconography.

Ad Minoliti’s work has been presented in multiple institutions, including Tate, St Ives (UK) in 2022, CCC OD, Tours (France), and Baltic Center for Contemporary Art, Gateshead (UK) in 2021, and Museo de arte moderna, Buenos Aires (Argentina) in 2018. Upcoming shows include Kunstpalais, Erlangen (Germany), in 2023.

Ad Minoliti wants to explore the role of Latin American Modern Art as a young force that can renovate the production and reception of contemporary art. Once the capital of the intellectual, artistic, and sexual fantasy of European male-dominated avant-garde, Paris stands as a special spot in which to develop an experimental analysis of feminist queer art and their Latin American identity within an international milieu. During the residency, she will develop a group of pieces of different media and materials, blending Rococo and Arte Madí (1) aesthetics, design and imagery that will form an installation in their studio composed of miniature dioramas, photos, objects, Gif animations, collages from Photoshop, and more traditional paintings and drawings.
