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.

Rebecca (IT/CH/DE, 1999*) is an eclectic artist, composer, improviser trained as a clarinetist ans passionate about movement.
Her artistic practice centers on experimental music, transdisciplinary creation, and improvisation in its many forms. With a focus on alternative formats, she develops immersive productions that explore experimental sound across disciplines and contexts — driven by a deep commitment to collaborative creation and socially engaged practice.
In 2021, she founded the company IPSO as a utopian laboratory for experimentation, horizontality, and radical listening across disciplines.

Sol Miraglia is a photographer and filmmaker based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, represented by HACHE Gallery.

Working in photographic and filmic supports, Miraglia explores the emotional and epistemological tensions between individuals and their creative production and archives. She reinterprets them from a contemporary perspective and brings them into conversation with global movements, political histories and forgotten local figures.

From an early age, Miraglia developed an interest in human stories and the preservation of memory through images. Her projects are often focused on the work of older artists whose work has fallen into disuse or disgrace and on spaces that have been stuck in time, either for the sake of preservation or due to oblivion.

The narratives Miraglia develops take the form of films, exhibitions and/or publications. Her renowned project Foto Estudio Luisita emerged first as an archival preservation project, was transformed into a film Foto Estudio Luisita (2018) and finally into the exhibition Temporada Fulgor, at the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (2021), whose catalog was selected at Les Rencontres d’Arles 2022 in the category historical photography book.

Faced with these swirling universes punctuated by embryonic figures, still lurking in the shadows of possibility, we experience the slight vertigo that arises when confronted with the immensity that is opening up: nothing, as yet, is set in stone.

The compositions are multi-polar, and their elements are yet to be born. Rather than a cosmos of finite forms, it is an energetic field in permanent reconfiguration. In this respect, the aesthetic experience is doubled by an anthropological dimension: it is also a way of relating to reality, of abandoning oneself to it rather than trying to decode it.

On the surface of Lux Miranda’s carpets, something happens to the visible, although its nature is still uncertain; something whispers to the senses, while being careful not to allow itself to be named, grasped or reified.
