Residency: 19 Mai - 9 June 2023La Maison d’Odile - Art & Knowledge

Using postcards, photographs, and sound archives, Amado Alfadni reveals the complex relationship between past and present created by colonial domination and tells the story of how it has affected Black Africa, particularly through the intertwined histories of the people living in the geographical area where Sudan meets Egypt and Libya.
Born in 1976, he lives and works in Cairo, Egypt.
Karo Kuchar
Residency: 10 April - 23 April 2023La Maison d’Odile - Art & Knowledge
With the support of TaNy&PaWo Collection.
For Karo Kuchar - a multidisciplinary artist of Czech and Polish origin - considerations related to the representation of the body and the understanding of the body as a second skin and envelope are part of a more complex consideration involving the body in its spatial dimension.
In her artistic approach, this relationship between the body and the architectural space is revealed in the play of transparencies and plastered textures of the materials that form the basis of her works.
Thus, silk and organza inlaid with plaster reveal imaginary silhouettes and constitute the negative on which the memory of this intimate relationship between body and space is printed.
Born in 1986, she lives and works between Vienna and Paris.

Adrien van Melle
Residency: 8 - 22 January 2022La Maison d’Odile - Art & Knowledge
With the support of Think & Do International and TaNy&PaWo Collection.
Adrien van Melle has built his artistic career by working with narrative as a multi-faceted material.
In the manner of Nicolas Bouvier's writings or John Baldessari's works, strong in conceptual intelligence, his work pushes us, without ever forcing us, to think, to read, to understand freely.
Adrien is more than an artist: he lays the foundations of a school of thought between here and elsewhere, today and tomorrow, as close as possible to the human being and never far from a world that is foreign to us.
Born in 1987, he lives and works in Paris.
