I work as a visual artist, making videos, dispositives, and objects. I work and live at La Générale en Manufacture at Sèvres. La Générale was formely an artist's run space in squatted ancient factory belonging at this time to the education ministry in the Parisian district of Belleville. As the massive builiding (6000 m2) was left empty by the ministry and as a significative work was made over two years by the occupants, the government (DRAC) decided to relocate part of us in the Manufacture de Sèvres for two years. Fourty artists are now permanent members of la Générale en Manufactue and many others stay for some time as temporary residents, for exihibits or for other manifestations. I myself manage a temporary residencency program, sometimes collectives exibitions and I show my work as well.
For the thing we made an interview with Rahel Puffert about my personal work and its different motivations and the history of la Générale.
