Simon Bergala
Painting and drawing
After studying at the Lyon School of Fine Arts (ENSBA) and the Hamburg School of Art (HFBK), Simon Bergala lived in Berlin, Los Angeles and then Paris. His work, which is mainly related to painting and how it can form the concept of social space, has been shown at the Hinterconti gallery and at HFBK in Hamburg as well as in Berlin. His works have also been shown at the Frac Limousin, at the Galerie du college Marcel Duchamp EMBAC Châteauroux, at Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibition (LACE), at the Institut d’Art Contemporain de Villeurbanne for the Rideaux/Blinds exhibit, at the Tôlerie in Clermont-Ferrand or even at Ygrec as part of a collaboration with “Joy”. Besides his painting work, he is currently developing a work together with artist and couturier Paul Desravines. Along with his practices, he writes about artists regarding exhibitions and publications and has occasionally curated exhibitions. He contributed to the ACTH research group (Contemporary Art and Time of History), then carried out more personal works. As an extension of his painting work, this research questioned the symbolic function of the exhibition space, its relations with the city, with common spaces. This study then focused on the way in which the concepts of Édouard Glissant—of everyone, relationships, and creolisation—can open up a new perspective on certain artistic practices.
Nathalie Bruyère
Design
In 1998, Nathalie Bruyère founded POOL products with Lorenz Wiegand following her training at the DOmus Academy in 1994. POOL products develops simple objects that can be used by everyone in everyday life: they are ethically responsible, rational and take full advantage of a different production system. Our research develops the “plug-in” principle, which can be seen for example in italic brackets and Lampions lights, the shapes of which clearly express their mode of manufacture. The result of an industrial process designed to achieve maximum flexibility, these objects, like the parts of a Meccano toy, can be set up and used according to the specific needs of a person at a given time. In association with the architect Pierre Duffau, she created the Duffau & Associés agency and the Ultra Ordinaire international research thinktank. She explores this concept on a larger scale and focuses on the productive relationship between new technologies and other manufacturing tools, tying all to the “share” economy. She is responsible for the research project Global Tools, today which allows her to create a dialogue surrounding Global Tools in the form of interviews with the main founders of the Italian radical movement. This research work aims to question and disentangle the concepts of time and their future in the contemporary practice of design. The final result of this research project will be a first edition at isdaT and was carried out with Victor Petit, preface Catherine Geel.
Jean-Pierre Castex
Volume, installation
“For several years, I have withdrawn from what should be called an artistic career and my activity in this field has materialized in the form of written production and research on paper and in volume which punctuates and is a product of what I would like to call ‘domestic workshop’. The latter means that the materials, patterns, production rhythm and destination of these objects are, as much as possible, directly linked to the economy of this (domestic) space. They are visible in my open workshop or produced for the purpose of being given or exchanged. Sometimes I respond to a friendly invitation for a work intended for a public or private space. In progress. Texts: _ Journal _ Misfortune is good for everything. Volume: _ Utensils (table sculptures). Drawing: _ That’s enough fun and games (notebooks) I am, moreover, a full-time teacher which more than satisfies my desire for sharing the necessities of art.”

Between graphic design projects and photographic documentaries, he explores the relationships between urban planning, architecture and written signage in a culturally globalised world, from institutional signage systems to ephemeral handwritten practices. He writes on urban epigraphy and the evolution of the Latin letter in public space at the articulation of the 20th and 21st centuries, particularly in South and North American megalopolises (Pixação: São Paulo Signature, XGpress, 2007 and Cholo Writing: Latino Gang Graffiti in Los Angeles, Dokument Press, 2009), on the tools of ephemeral calligraphic practices in Chinese public spaces (Dishu: Ground Calligraphy in China, Dokument Press, 2013) and on the teaching of typographic creation (Letters from Toulouse, Educational experiments in drawing letters, B42, 2018).
Valérie du Chéné
Painting, drawing, sound
Born in 1974 in Paris, she lives and works in Toulouse and Coustouge. It is important for her as an artist today to make visible mechanisms of life or elements of volumes which do not appear or are no longer there: “to make a fragment of reality visible”. For certain projects, Valérie du Chéné uses language in a formal form that involves doing surveys with volunteers before producing paintings, drawings or sculptures (Places named in Japan in 2010, Incidence in Paris in 2013). In 2014, she collaborated with historian Arlette Farge on the 18th century judicial archives in Paris, a book La Capucine s’adonne aux premiers venus released by Éditions La pionnière, as well as the exhibition L’Archipel at the CRAC LR in Sète. At the same time, Valérie du Chéné worked with the inmates of the Béziers Penitentiary Centre in partnership with the MRAC LR of Sérignan, the result of which is the book En mains propres published by Les éditions la villa saint clair in 2015, as well as an exhibition Mettre à plat le cœur au ventre at the bbb art centre in Toulouse in 2016. Since 2012, she has been a teacher and first-year coordinator at isdaT and runs three workshops: “Ondes à Sonder”, “Tomber dans l’espace” and “Les films ne poussent pas dans les arbres contrairement aux bananes qui murissent au soleil”. Since 2019, she has been invited to collaborate with Hervé Senant at the “Gender 2030” research seminar with end-of-cycle students and young artists. From 2017 to 2019, together with artist Régis Pinault, they produced a film Un ciel couleur laser rose fuchsia in Cerbère in partnership with the REGION and the DRAC Occitanie, with the support of the shandynamiques association and the contemporary art centre la Chapelle St Jacques, St Gaudens.
Étienne Cliquet
Multimedia artistic practices

Olivier Dollinger
Video, performance
Born in 1967, he lives and works in Paris. Between 1995 and 2002, Olivier Dollinger directed and delivered to the public a resuscitation mannequin named Andy: acquired by the artist, lodged with relatives, offered as a fictional object to a class of children, then made available to visitors at an exhibition. The mannequin was pampered, hijacked, kissed, heckled and abused until it was completely destroyed. An outlet for somewhat cruel fantasies, Andy was the revealer of an edifying sample of personalities. It is precisely human behaviour, physical and emotional, that the artist examines through performance, film, sound works and installations, surrounding himself when necessary with skills from outside the art world: bodybuilder, tuning enthusiast, gymnast, but also medium, hypnotist or magician. So many practices whose end goal lies in the demonstration, the manipulation or the prowess of the human body. When an artist invites the audience to come into contact with the afterlife through a medium (The Spirit Voices on Air, 2006), or when a hypnotist leads a group of Hollywood actresses into a state of hypnosis in the footsteps of the iconic Marilyn (Reverb (the Norma Jean Project), 2003), Olivier Dollinger lets us glimpse the interstices of reality where the unconscious is lodged: a place both human and cinematographic. As a witness to a restored scene or an actor involved in the arrangement of the work, the spectator is granted access to what the artist sees as a “new reality”, the idea that “the real and the virtual are not two separate dimensions and in opposition, but are the same form of our experience of contemporary reality”.

He taught at the École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Toulouse in the FORUS (Form & Usage) department from 1998 to 2004 and has been teaching at isdaT since 1998. He has worked in the art and architecture schools of Tarbes, Pau, Lyon, ENS de Paris Malaquais, Marseille, Toulon, Scuola Massana Barcelona, Inst. Sup. d’Arte de Genova, ENTPE of Vaulx-en-Velin… He was artistic director of the Bond de la Baleine à Bosse (BBB) in Toulouse and co-founded HDuSiège in Valenciennes where he contributes to the development of an exhibition programme in France and in Europe. At isdaT, he teaches in the im.matériaux studio where living things and NON-human intelligence are at the very heart of action research developed within the framework of the interdisciplinary programme “The New Ukronie”, a project initiated by a substantial partnership between private and public sectors: schools, universities, local authorities, associations, companies. At the same time, he carries out collaborative projects and responds to institutional and private orders. As an artisan designer, his fields of focus cover furniture, space, scenography, expertise, artistic direction from the planning stages to the final realization. Combining specificities of expression and manufacture, this approach allows him to experiment and renew the methods specific to the development of objects and spaces linked to everyday life by affirming an organisation of production in which “know-how” holds an important place. Stemming from sculpture and located outside the “industrial” scheme, these creations, as well as the open processes offered by this research, are a means of enriching the processes of appropriation of spaces and of questioning their interaction with those inhabiting them.

In January 2015, she defended her doctorate at the University of Rennes 2 under the supervision of Nicolas Thély: Polarizing modalities of attention and the digital world: fates and characters of the artistic writing apparatus. Since then, she has been interested in how design can help take care of our environment and our most everyday living spaces. Pondering the specificities of design research, she explores, through her teaching, investigative methods and observations specific to this field of practice where the importance of tools, writing methods and formats of restitution are all put at the forefront when it comes to the qualities of a designer. Since arriving at isdaT in 2015, she has actively collaborated in the design research programmes “Design and poverty” and “Change of scale”. She is currently working with the graphic designer collective Documents and the designer Hanika Perez on the design of a web platform for disseminating design research at isdaT, a platform designed as an editorial tool and one that offers users the chance to diversify navigation modes and how to display content.

Sarah Holveck displayed the work of many artists of her generation such as Anne Bourse, Simon Bergala, Hendrik Hegray, Rosa Joly, Mathilde Ganansia; but also the paintings of Julien Aubry, one of her pupils, aged eleven. When the context lends itself, she writes about the work of those artists around her, slipping into their shoes to better observe their work in motion. Like that of writing, her artistic practice is nourished by daily life at the studio as well as her work as an artist with autistic people. Sarah Holveck creates spaces filled with tooled materials, sculpted elements as well as drawings, either made or found, which reveal ambivalent figures in their presence or absence. She recently participated in group exhibitions such as Super Salon – Paris Internationale (curator Claire Le Restif), 2020 / Ingrid, Pauline Perplexe, 2020 / Presque tout, Bagnoler, Bagnolet (curator: Anna Solal, Grichka Commaret & Guilhem Monceaux), 2019 / La crampe et la crue, Pauline Perplexe, 2018. She is also regularly asked to act as curator or art critic. In 2019, she composed texts for the monograph and exhibition Les Cambuses by Sylvie Auvray (Laurent Godin gallery, Paris), the exhibitions by Hélène Bertin, Cahin caha at Crac 19 (Montbéliard) and at Creux de l’Enfer (Thiers) as well as for the exhibition of Marie Bette, Pneumate, at the Galerie Mezzanin (Geneva).

Hanika Perez
Design
Hanika Perez is a designer and professor of design at isdaT. After studying in CPGE, she obtained a master’s degree in design at the University of Toulouse – Jean Jaurès. In 2007, she joined forces with Brice Genre to create A+B, a research and design workshop. She has developed a work approach that is attentive to the relationships between people, the environment and function, and understands the value of sensory experiences in a situation. By questioning typologies and paying particular attention to the economy of drawing, the studio wishes to offer spaces and “tools” that are simple, intelligible and open to a variety of practices. The approach is implemented in various contexts and scales such as, for example, student accommodation at the Olympes de Gouges university residence (Crous Toulouse), the presentation and signage at the Musée des Tissus et des Arts décoratifs de Lyon, or setting the stage (fixtures, furniture, objects) for chefs Sébastien and Michel Bras for whom they have been working regularly since 2013. The studio is also working on a reflection on living conditions in more forward-looking projects with individuals, art centres (Croix-Baragnon, La Cuisine) and research laboratories (LLA Créatis). A + B’s work has won international competitions in different fields and received the Public Design Parade 05 award in 2010. At isdaT, she co-supervises the multidisciplinary studio “Design & Environments” with Laetitia Giorgino, Romain-Paul Lefèvre and Valérie Vernet, and collaborates in the research programmes “Design and Poverty” and “Change of scale”.

Camille Tsvetoukhine
Writing, art practices
Camille Tsvetoukhine was born in 1987, she lives and works in Paris. She graduated from ESBA Angers in visual Communication Option and from HEAD Geneva in Contemporary Artistic Practices. Her work has been presented in France and abroad, on the island of Nantes at Bonus (solo, 2022) at Parc Saint Léger in Nevers (solo, 2019), at Bains Douches in Alençon (solo, 2018) , at the Zoo Galerie in Nantes (solo, 2018), at Salon in Madrid (solo, 2016), at the Interface Gallery in Dijon (solo, 2016), at Indice 50 in Paris (solo, 2015), etc. In parallel with her artistic practice, she has developed an artist run space entitled Idealfrühstück where she presents in her living and studio space, the work of other visual artists such as Céline Vaché Olivieri, Scoli Acosta, Colombe Marcasiano, Yoan Sorin , Florian Sumi, Josep Maynou, etc.
Her research revolves around the construction of new narratives. The latter borrow from various fields of reference, including mythology, ecology and even magic. Through the encounter of pre-existing elements, she creates fictions by building a bridge between individual and collective history. Writing appears in his work as the main axis, which then leads him to question the narrative potential to create various plastic forms: sculptures, performances, editions, paintings, installations, or even videos. With these works, it is not so much a question of falling into a literal or illustrative relationship but rather of providing reading keys through the text. The idea is above all to take a critical look at our environment. In this way, she questions our relationship to everyday life and to history by creating new fictional spaces, kinds of fantastic uchronies. This allows him to address current political questions, often relating to ecological and feminist issues.
