  . Maguy Banq

  Maguy Banq was born in 1954, in Marseillan, South of France. She graduated

  from the School of Fine Arts of Mexico in 1992. She shares her life between

  France and Mexico and exhibits regularly in these two countries.

   

  Fed to the classic techniques, Maguy Banq allies the work of the bronze to materials

  and forms of the minimalist art. Because the work lies itself in the association of its

  pure, geometrical, multiplied forms where her bronze work, as a way of cross, takes

  back the stages of the human condition. She is interested from the beginning of her

  researches in the "cycle of the absurd ", eternal resumption, symbolized in her works

  by the myth of Sisyphus. She experiences and expresses labour, absolute quest towards

  an ecstatic and calmed plenitude, which as for Albert Camus would tighten towards an

  "happy men".

  . Joachim Biehler

  Joachim Biehler was born in 1981 in Strasbourg. He received the National Superior Diploma

  of Expression of Plastic Arts (DNSEP) of the Superior School of Art of Perpignan.

  57th Salon of Montrouge.

   

  Familiar with the contemporary art milieu, he knows any of its subtleties or references, and enjoys

  twisting them with humor. Most of his works play an attraction-repulsion game. In the “like project”,

  one of his first series, Joachim substituted his face from contemporary art icons’ ones, such as ORLAN

  or Jeff Koons. The photomontage, a bit disturbing, makes us smile and wonder about the young

  generation’s place in this well-organized star-system.

  “Big sugar vanity” is also based on an ambivalent process: candies appeal and disgust us at the

  same time, placing us in direct confrontation with the vanity symbol. As a consequence, we connect

  sugar with our annihilating, blinded, consuming, warrior society.

  This work rests on a system of paradoxes. Through candies, Joachim captures a part of our senses: sight,

  sense of smell, taste. Our emotions are torn by the artist’s use of a material which deeply reminds us of

  childhood and feelings of immediate affection. Vanity reveals itself as a metaphor of today’s society, where

  the human being, often unconscious, sinks into warrior madness. With humor, poesy and irony,

  Joachim Biehler calls for a return to feelings.

  Through his painting Mouhamoudou Moustapha Diop makes the walls speak. We find them covered

  urbanity and expires the imprint of the past.

  The artist erects these walls using cement pigments on canvas, paper or polystyrene, he experiences them.

  Playing with their symbolic. At once a rocky expression of a primitive society, they are also the representation

  of the boundary between private and public, the demarcation between the obstacle and freedom.

  the Dak’art Biennale in 2018.

  . Ottmar Hörl

  Ottmar Hörl (born 1950 in Nauheim, Germany) is a notable German artist, art professor and writer.

  Hörl has become famous with large installations in Berlin and Munich, among others, and will now realize a spectacular project of his "Art in the public environment" in the city of Nuremberg where he teaches as a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts since 1997.Using about 7000 plastic replicas of Dürer's hare Hörl will transpose the central square in the old town of Nuremberg into a large green corridor of 2500 m². For two weeks, the Nuremberg Main Market will become a "Large Piece of Hare" in honor of Albrecht Dürer before breaking up in its individual components and so to speak merge into the population.

  Duplication, the idea of serial production, and large numbers are the center of Hörl's projects. His art intends to inspire communication and to include as many people as possible. Dissolving of the large piece of hare into individual components is part of the concept. After two weeks, one may take a piece of hare home against a nominal charge. The hares move from a public to a personal environment. "I want to reach out with my work, set an impulse and let people take their Dürer home to allow individual, undogmatic altercation."

And because it is also a game, the spectator is urged to click three times on his smartphone to obtain a night even more mysterious, even more poetic, even more fantastic, urban vision of the landscape.

  . Michel Laubu and...

  in Lyon...In short terms, he brings in France and abroad this strange theater, poetic and visual. The company has

  just its birthday of 30 years in 2015.

  Emili Hufnagel, accomplice of Michel Laubu, co-writes the projects with him. She is also a comedian in

  all the shows of Turak. 

  Turak in few words

  Turak, is a Theater of Objects and Puppet company, that develops a visual theater «all ground compatible»

  fed by diverted objects, by old or imaginary mythologies, by languages in multiple and invented accents.

  Known for its research work around the object, Turak mixes the puppet forms, the gestural theater and the

  plastic exploration. This tinkered poetry could be situated in the crossroads of the dance, the gestural theater

  and the plastic arts.

  The artistic approach of Turak lays on a game with the used object. Imaginary past, born from «the used of the object»,

  memory and marks of an invented civilization, it is from this fictitious archaeology that shows and exhibitions are created.

  The shows written and staged by Michel Laubu thus address a very wide public. Every image having several levels

  of reading, the doors of access are not lacking. It is a writing in strata, with « theater in all the floors».

  was his first gallery), on pavements and on the famous Fürstenberg square (his biggest horizontal artwork),

  around the columns of Buren (his unfinished work), on carriage and building entrances. These arabesques,

  composed of three white lines, are much more than a simple ornament of the urban decor, they play with the

  architectural disorders and invite us to follow them until we get lost in our own imagination.

   

  During Bizarro 2016 (multiple galleries itinerary and exhibition), organized by the Gallery Géraldine Banier, Jordane

  . Fulati Tayierjiang

  Born in 1977 to Xinjiang, China, Fulati Tayierjiang lives and works in Paris today.

  57th Salon of Montrouge.

   

  His work explores the idea of the integration of an individual in the society and looks for

  a relation between him and things, between its body and the landscapes. His approach

  associates painting and photography: originally a simple paint on cliché. 

  From 2006, he begins a series of photos of his painted hand, as continuation or

  misappropriation of the landscape. The hand is the central element, the representative

  himself and his being, telling its story. The lines of the hand are in the landscape, they

  establish themselves there and confront with it, as the slow process of integration of

  an individual in a new culture.
