Born in 1973 in Los Angeles, Scoli Acosta is represented by galerie Laurent Godin in . «The aesthetics of resourcefulness» is a phrase that Scoli Acosta has often used to describe his wide-ranging artwork, which includes , installation, drawing, , photography, video and performance. Thirty-eight years old and slight of frame, Acosta has a sheepish but subtly theatrical demeanor that gives every conversation the feel of a performance. Though he grew up in Lincoln Heights and Baldwin Hills, he lived in Europe on and off through his 20s, speaks French, some German and some Spanish, and maintains a somewhat self-conscious relationship to English, his diction intermittently formal and colloquial. His process is one of meandering absorption, his work the outgrowth, in many cases, of his interactions with a particular place.” Holly Myers, Los Angeles Times, 2011.

Scoli Acosta films himself in front of the frescoes in Los Angeles, those that Agnes Varda filmed in Walls Walls, which is happening in his hometown. The members of Asco (nausea in Spanish), militant Chicanos artists of the 1960s, appear with Scoli Acosta in the Phantom Sightings exhibition at LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art) in 2008. Vanessa atlan

Born in (France) in 1971. Lives and works in Los Angeles. Vanessa Atlan has a Masters in Art History from the Sorbonne. Deliberately experimental, the artist explores - through various media including photography, , collage, writings and sound - the intimate territories of her childhood in Sète (whose family is from) or her everyday life in Los Angeles. From her first photographic series, “Paris-Méditerranée” to “Wonderland Stereo” (an imaginary record label) her vision is profoundly connected to an emotional immediacy, balancing the fine line between fiction and reality like an existential thread. She has taken part in various exhibitions in Europe and the United States : Bonni Benrubi Gallery, NYC - HIE Gallery, Los Angeles - Galerie Philippe Chaume, Paris - Galeria Tagomago, Barcelona - Palazzo Spinelli, Naples.

Installation, 2018 Alex Israel - Bret Easton ELLIS

Alex Israel was born in 1977 in Los Angeles. Bret Easton Elis was born in 1964 in Los Angeles. The duo met in 2010. They instantly established a link. Their collaboration is a reflection on Los Angeles, where the two creatives were born and raised, and wants to be «a slideshow of the subconscious of the city». The duo’s work process is a back-and-forth exercise: they meet at a bar in a Los Angeles mall to exchange ideas, Easton Ellis writes his fictional texts from their discussions, and Israel travels iStock looking for pictures of scenes that best illustrate their feelings and chooses a font. The pieces are then printed and painted in the studios of Warner Bros, thus strengthening their relationship with Los Angeles and the Hollywood film industry.

Los Angeles native, Patrick Jackson works as both a collector and a maker to create crowded, immersive mixed-media environments. Whether compiling found objects, setting a scene for a presumed homicide, or sculpting visceral and scarred ceramics, he is invested in narrative and conceptual installations. D.R.

Drawings and Reliefs, 2016 © Ghebaly Gallery Richard jackson

Born in Sacramento (USA) in 1939. Lives in Los Angeles. Richard Jackson questions the traditional definition of painting by exploring matter. His approach as a sculptor is mainly on the side of humor, experimentation with the desire to report an action while offering an unprecedented critical position towards the art world. Long unknown, he has now become a historical figure, defending this freedom to create amazing machines, crazy or potaches. With a backdrop, the projection of colors, as a raw, childish aesthetic enjoyment. He is represented by the Georges-Philippe & Nathalie Vallois gallery in Paris.

Cover and Music, 2018 Jim SHAW

Born in Midland (USA) in 1952. Lives in Los Angeles. Close to the Californian neo- scene of the 80s, Jim Shaw draws his inspiration from a vernacular culture far from the categories established by the history of art : paintings of amateurs recovered from flea markets, objects of popular cults, comics. He is also a collector of trinkets and religious symbols, which he collects in an imaginary museum that inevitably evokes the International Museum of Modest Arts (MIAM), founded by Hervé Di Rosa. He is represented by the Blum and Poe Gallery. JIM SHAW

Atelier de Jim Shaw, Los Angeles, 2018 marnie weber

Born in Bridgeport (United States) in 1959. Lives in Los Angeles. Marnie Weber invests the territories of music, performance, film and, in a more plastic field, those of installation, collage and sculpture. Each of these practices is overflowing in others: the costumes become sculptures, the collages illustrate the covers of discs, the music becomes soundtrack of the films and the sets of the fictions materialize in the installations. Marnie Weber belongs to a generation of Californian artists (with Mike Kelley, Paul McCarthy, Jim Shaw or John Miller) who, in the land of Hollywood and Walt Disney, points to the fantasies of American culture. She is represented by Simon Lee Gallery. D.R. Marnie weber

She has taken part in various exhibitions in France: Fondation d’Entreprise Ricard, Le Plateau, Centre Pompidou... Her work travelled to Italy, Germany, the United States and China. Joséphine Wister Faure’s work is built around her experiments on narration, through different forms of expression: video, performance, installation, writing and sculpture. She questions the mechanisms of perception as well as the observer’s implication and creates openings for a narrative in which no scenario is imposed. She lives and works in Los Angeles and in Paris.

Last witness, 2010 The Source, Granit, 24 karat gold, sand H. Merrick, Los Angeles 2016

Going under, Mixed media installation, Guets-Apens, 2006 Born in Sète in 1962. Aldo Biascamano is the author of a mythology around Sète. For over thirty years, Aldo has been forging links between the past, present and future and reinventing a surrealistic world. He paints his fantasy stories on wooden altarpieces, scenes that mix real and imaginary characters, water princesses and clams, salty kisses and mother-of-pearl, all to a backdrop of sand and gold. He also tells how the «banned barbecues» took place, organized around a «peïdolade», a culinary tradition inherited from his father and nomad fishermen, who in years gone by would settle on the beach of Sète for 6 months. A painter and story-teller, Aldo Biascamano films the scenes from his mythology with a Super 8 camera and organizes performances during which he integrates live or painted portraits, costumed dancers and projections of images into his narrative. His latest conferences were organized by Gallery Christian Berst and Maison Rouge in Paris. D.R. Retable de la Mythologie de Sète dans le passé, le présent et le futur, 2012

Énergié matérialisée comme dans le futur de la Mythologie de Sète, 2014 Born in Sète in 1957. Patricia Biascamano is a sculptor. Patricia works with plastic paste and uses everyday bases such as porcelain plates or dishes. Her work is entirely miniaturized and all her subjects are drawn and colored before being placed on their base. True craftsmanship staging a host of characters, often in the summer sun during a show of some sort. Scenes that relate a boat jousting tournament, a bullfight, a Camargue boat race or a concert… With all the details of a lilliputian world, Patricia Biascamano delivers up her passion for traditions, the south of France, festivals, shows, popular rituals, and movements that bring folk together, from Sète to Madrid, Saintes-Marie-de-La-Mer, Bayonne and Sienna. Amongst other venues, her works were exhibited at the Museum of in Céret in 2008. D.R. Joutes nautiques à Sète, 1994 Assiette porcelaine, pâte plastique, acrylique

Joutes nautiques à Sète (détail), 1994 Assiette porcelaine, pâte plastique, acrylique Born in Sète in 1958. Stéphan Bisacamano is a sculptor, actor and video film-maker. When he was a child, «Fanfan» suffered from asthma and spent much of his time at home. He would draw all day long, sketching things around him. He dreamed of becoming a cartoonist until the day when, snorkeling with his father, he was suddenly cured. He then began to build models of submarines and for a while accepted a job as a mechanic. There, he started to collect objects of all sorts that he would assemble, weld and hybridize to bring his submarines to life. In each work, a scene takes place in the cockpit with wooden figurines of Frank Sinatra, an orchestra and smokers of marijuana… A multitude of details to scrutinize with the aid of a flashlight. His works are exhibited in France and also in Belgium, where most of his collectors now live. D.R. LES ARTISTES

Le sous-marin «Diamante» Di Infernal, 2013

Peïdolade sous-marine, 2007 Born in Eperney in 1978. Armelle Caron is a visual artist. From a very early age Armelle traveled every continent. Today, she reinvents traditional cartography by laying out cities in her own way. In her series «Tout bien rangé» (Neatly Arranged), she segments, aligns, classifies and redistributes, by shape and size, all the fragments that go to make up the plan of a city, cutting up urban space into small units. It is her way of redesigning a city, seeing it differently, creating a new typology and taking a fresh look at our mechanisms of perception. A graduate from the University of Lancashire and the Avignon «École Supérieure d’Art», Armelle Caron visited then «arranged» a number of cities worldwide before settling in Sète in 2012 (but refrained from re-arranging the town!). She also lists the guest-rooms in which she has stayed and for each one has designed a plan together with a text, plus a reminiscence of the atmospheres and physical feelings she experienced there. This work on intimate sentiments led to a publication in 2017 (Editions Parenthèse). D.R. LES ARTISTES

Chambres, éditions Parenthèse, 2017 Born in Sète in 1962. André Cervera is an expressionist painter, or «latin expressionist» as some collectors might say. Encouraged by Robert Combas, the young André Cervera was a fine arts student in Sète and became a painter. He worked alongside Hervé Di Rosa and embraced the burgeoning movement of free figuration but remained a free spirit on the fringe of mainstream trends. André loves to travel. From Morocco to Mali, Senegal to Spain, Croatia to the confines of India or China, he tours the world, recycles old wallpaper, ad posters and academic designs, sketching, pasting, cutting and stamping to create encounter and juxtaposition between people, stories, lifestyles and symbols. His painting is instinctive, edgy and sophisticated, it is also the expression of a relationship with the world that is continually challenged and in motion. In February 2018, he exhibited at the Musée Paul Valéry with Swarna Chitrakar, an Indian artist he met during a stay in West Bengal. Laurent Vilarem Still life crab

Card players Born in Lyon in 1957. Robert Combas is a painter, sculptor and illustrator. Robert is also a musician, collector of vinyls, rock fan and founder of the group «Les Sans Pattes» with Lucas Mancione. His painting is inspired by rock music, popular images and cartoon strips, evoking society, sexuality and history with lyrical and comical interpretation that is both colorful and musical. Robert Combas is one of the leaders of the movement that Ben tagged Free Figuration in 1981. His work has quickly won him recognition in France and in Europe. The «Combas style», i.e. bright colors and dark line, was born. Gallery owners display his work in Düsseldorf, Amsterdam, the United States (with Leo Castelli), and Seoul. Robert Combas is today considered to be one of the most important French artists of his generation. In 2012 the museum of contemporary art in Lyon dedicated a retrospective to the artist, repeated in 2016 at the Monaco Grimaldi Forum and in the Yvon Lambert Collection in Avignon. D.R. Geneviève

Sète Bridge Born in Sète in 1963. Christophe Cosentino is a painter. He takes his inspiration from the changing colors and lights of the city. He loves fishing ports and the people who live there. He paints the workers on the quays, sailors with their tales of fantasy, silent hangars and, always, the sea, water and light. Christophe Cosentino works with linocutting, the thick but high-precision line that gives each subject true strength. Often working in black and white enhanced with a single color, he paints portraits, wizened faces tattooed with dreams and stories of life. In his paintings, he sometimes juxtaposes slivers of ceramics to create relief and cast light on a specific detail… a seabed, a fish or an imaginary flower. In 2015, Christophe created a monumental sculpture - «À tout coeur» - for the Quartier Haut exhibition at the Journées de l’Amour festival in Sète in 2017. D.R. Marins, 2007

On the Haven, 2013 Born in Sète in 1979. Jean Denant is a visual artist. He grew up on the island of Thau amid concrete tower blocks and the nascent industrial park, facing the sunsets over the lagoon. At the frontiers of painting, architecture, design and sculpture, the work of Jean Denant poses the question of materials, laborious movement and identities. He sculpts giant globes directly onto walls with thousands of hammer blows that outline the five continents. It’s the building site element that interests him, work under construction, zones undergoing transition or future development. His materials - plasterboard, polystyrene, wood, heavy-duty adhesives and neon tubes - all come from industrial production. In 2016, his work «Mare Nostrum» was presented to the King of Morocco by French President François Hollande as a gift during an official visit on the fringe of the Cop22 summit. This work, also purchased by the city of Sète, is a monumental découpage in glossy stainless steel that reproduces the geography of the Mediterranean Basin and, like a mirror, reflects every horizon. Jean Denant is represented in Paris by the Galerie Anne de Villepoix. D.R. Module-x-01 Galerie Anne de Villepoix

Mare Nostrum Achat de la Ville de Sète Born in Sète in 1959. Hervé Di Rosa is a painter, collector and traveler… In 1981, Hervé co-founded the Free Figuration movement influenced by rock music, comic strips and graffiti... With no claim to any particular style but still laying milestones for the FF movement, he has developed his own specific narrative world inhabited by recurring characters that he has kept alive for over thirty years. In 1993, he embarked upon the «Autour du Monde» project (Around the World) and set out to explore different cultures. He fed on these, experimented with new know-how, formulated new techniques and produced new forms. It was Hervé Di Rosa who conceived of the Art Modestes movement, inspired by childhood, close to popular art, primitive art, raw art and craftsmanship, between which the boundaries are distinctly permeable. In 2000, he founded the Musée International des Arts Modestes in Sète (MIAM). In 2017, the Maison Rouge in Paris held an exhibition for the artist, now no longer alone in displaying his creation with the objects and works collected over the years. Over 200 personal Di Rosa exhibitions were held worldwide in 2017. D.R. Atlantide

Fnac 06 (détail) Exposition Di Rosa, plus jamais seul à la Maison Rouge, 2017 Born in Sète in 1960. Marc Duran is a painter and musician. He had always drawn but started to paint only much later, with astounding success. In the 1990s he lived in England where he recorded several albums with his rock band Manchakou. Back in France, he composed an opera around the Cathar Heresy tragedy, «Multorum Querela», performed by the Orchestre National de Montpellier in 1997. He then left for Amazonia and stayed in Manaus for 8 years, where he continued to record music with local artists and, at the same time, wrote his novel «Bloody Mardi». Back in France, like some sort of revelation, he discovered painting. He explained how he sets out to freeze fleeting, figurative or abstract forms that he draws with thousands of dots. He composes his patterns, links and encircles them, then totally covers his canvas with paint. Intimate work that he compares to embroidery or a musical composition. In 2018 his works are on show at the DZ gallery in Metz. Rédouane Anfoussi Flowers

Self-portrait as a couple at the beach Born in Sète in 1971. Lucas Mancione is a visual artist, video film maker and musician. He and Robert Combas formed the rock band «Les Sans Pattes». He draws figures, often animals but always weird that seem to leap out from the canvas. In the 1990s he lived in New York and produced drawings using video magnetic tape, clipped silhouettes that are scissored then mashed, coupled with other traced images that are also decomposed and fragmented in their movement. He dabbles with not only new digital tools but also such «obsolete» instruments as scissors, ball-point pens, tracing paper and colored thumb tacks. His visual and musical process is experimental and random. In 2012 he experimented with a new material, marble, and produced a work of art some 3 meters tall, a pointed ear cut from red-pink marble, which now stands in Sète beneath the semaphore facing the sea.

Concert, Sans Pattes Born in 1966 in Thionville. Jean-Marie Picard has been an engraver for over thirty years. He attended the school of fine arts in Nîmes, took courses with Daniel Dezeuze, traveled to Mexico (and elsewhere) and learned his craft with top names, including typographer Thierry Bouchard, with whom he collaborates in the publication of artists’ books. Over the years, he has honed skills with his preferred tool, the gouge, a variation on the wood chisel, whose iron blade is concave. In this digital day and age, Jean-Marie Picard believes firmly in returning to the origins of the printed page, i.e. the premise of the dissemination of knowledge. Established in Sète since 2012, the Dugrip-Picard-Jacomet studio embraces the pure tradition of artistic printing. Specializing in wood engraving and stencil printing, Jean-Marie works for and with artists and publishes original works of art. Together with this artisanal know-how, he continues to draw and work on his own engravings. His latest works, a layman’s interpretation of the Old Testament, were displayed in the chapel of the Quartier Haut in 2016 and 2017. D.R. Deux couples zapatistes Un mexicain

Woodcut Jim Born in Sète in 1967. Marc Combas, alias Topolino, is a sketch artist. As soon as he could hold a pencil he would be filling up endless notebooks, drawing everything, everywhere and all the time. He would sneak around here there and everywhere like a little mouse (Topolino is the Italian name for Mickey Mouse) to draw scenes from everyday or imaginary life, unusual views of the world around him, or imaginary worlds inhabited by fabulous animals. Topolino has sketched Sète from every aspect, the town’s backstreets, the cranes, the boats and the views. He keeps a savory animal gazette of society artistic life and everyday completes his collection of Silly Songs. A seasoned traveler - Lisbon, Tokyo and New York among others - he captures live the specific atmosphere of each town, reproducing his own vision of places, a shaky vision of the world, of living matter and vibrant lines. In 2016, the Musée Paul Valéry dedicated an exhibition to his work on the town of Sète. D.R. La Pointe courte, 2018
