As part of the 6th International Digital Art Biennial, ELEKTRA and Arsenal Contemporary Art Montreal invite you to In Conversation: two panel discussions on Sunday, January 29th, bringing together artists and curators. Starting at 1:30pm, we will first welcome 3 artists exhibiting at the BIAN : the French artists Donatien Aubert and Salomé Chatriot as well as the Quebec artist Johann Baron Lanteigne and then, at 3:30pm, the French curators Nils Aziosmanoff, Charles Carcopino, Gilles Alvarez and Clément Thibault for two discussions about their work.


A member of the Arsenal Contemporary Art Montreal mediation team and our General and Artistic Director, Alain Thibault, will lead the discussions.

THE CURATORS:

 

Nils Aziosmanoff: Founder and president of Le Cube Garges, a center for creation and training in digital art that is among the most renowned in Europe, Nils Aziosmanoff is a Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres and is one of the "100 personalities constituting the next generation" selected by Les Echos. A popular speaker and presenter, he is convinced that technological innovation can and should fuel all new forms of artistic expression.

Charles Carcopino: A specialist in digital cultures, Charles Carcopino oscillates between curating exhibitions and visual creations for live shows or events. Anchored in today's world, his exhibitions explore the effects of the acceleration of the post-Internet society in the fields and areas of contemporary creation.

Gilles Alvarez: Artistic director and founder of the Nemo Biennial, produced by the CentQuatre-Paris, Gilles Alvarez has conceived since its creation an eclectic digital program, mixing contemporary art, live performance and new technologies, and questions the societal issues of the digital. The 2021-22 edition of the Nemo Biennial, placed under the theme Beyond the real?, questioned the capacity of digital arts and technologies to reveal the invisible.

Clément Thibault is the artistic director of Le Cube Garges since 2020, and an art critic and curator. He has curated dozens of exhibitions, in France and abroad, mainly on the social impacts of new technologies: Deus ex Machina (Soissons museums), the_ogre.net (Suzanne Tarasiève gallery) or IA, qui es-tu? with the Cube. He has been nominated for the AICA Art Critic Award (2019), member of the jury of the Salon de Montrouge (2020), and winner (Prix du Public) of the Dauphine Prize for Contemporary Art, in tandem with Guillaume Bouisset (2020).
