I am a French researcher, art writer, and translator. I am a member of NECS (European Network for Cinema and Media Studies), and AICA-USA (the American section of the International Association of Art Critics).
Experience
I currently teach in the Film and Media Studies Department of Université Sorbonne Nouvelle, where I will defend a PhD that bridges pioneer video art to generative AI through the prism of feedback on January 9, 2025. It is the first thesis in France tackling the impacts of AI on visual culture. I have designed two classes approaching the topic from a media-archaeological stance: one anchored in aesthetics, the other in television history. I previously taught modern and contemporary art at Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. I have presented my research at various venues, most recently Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Universitatea Politehnica din Buarești, and the École Normale Supérieure. I was also the recipient of grants and residencies at NYU, Brown, and Emory University.
Regarding my freelance activity as an art writer and translator, I am further the author of monographs and exhibition catalogues dedicated to the work of several artists (Benjamin Sabatier, Grégory Chatonsky, Pierre Ardouvin, Amélie Bertrand, etc.). I have translated books and gallery texts on many others (Soufiane Ababri, Georges Tony Stoll, Marcel Duchamp & Bruno Munari, Pablo Picasso & Alexander Calder, etc.), along with art and architecture magazines (The Steidz, Archistorm). I have written extensively for international press (ArtReview, Aperture, Frieze, Flash Art, Artpress, etc.), and galleries (Massimo de Carlo, Perrotin, Georges Phillipe & Nathalie Vallois, etc.).
Finally, I have realized a few experimental videos shown in both Europe and the United States, as well as codirected with Jeffrey Charles Stanley Passage 2009, a festival in the form of a video exquisite corpse that brought together original works by French, Canadian, and American artists (Jacques Perconte, Emma Dusong, Natacha Clitandre, Johanna Vaude, Vincent Ciciliato, Rbt. Sps., etc.). I am overall inspired by in situ practices, found art, conceptual wit, haunted minimalism, psychedelic painting, and nonsense, further indulging in photography and video making through a diary-like series titled Art in Practice.
