The artists’ association Astérides has been based at the Friche la Belle de Mai since its creation. For the past four years, it has offered short-term studio residencies with a selection process that maintains the flexibility of a non-institutional choice.
This second exhibition presented by Astérides in the gallery of the Friche la Belle de Mai marks the conclusion of the residencies of four invited artists: Maria Thereza Alves, Jimmie Durham, Florence Farrugia, and Anne-Frédérique Lacour. The exhibition will also feature recent works by the permanent residents of the association’s studios (Pierre Albert, Gilles Barbier, Francesco Finizio, Claire Mangeais, Jean-Christophe Nourisson, Sandrine Raquin). True to its commitments, Astérides seeks through this event to recapture the spirit and atmosphere of its collective studios: exchanges, diversity, confrontation of different practices, encounters between French and international artists, between emerging and established artists.
Taking this opportunity, Astérides will also hold a public sale of a boxed set published in 60 copies, containing multiples (photographs, objects, drawings…) created by the 10 participants of the exhibition.
