Co-funders
Alice Schÿler Mallet is a visual artist and curator. She is interested in questions concerning the body, space, the charge of certain materials and their influence in space, their function and their use. She likes to divert some of these materials in order to produce shift and confusion, to find pre-existing images, archaic and universal, archetypes linked to the material or the place. She has exhibited her work in the Avivson and Mamia Bretesche galleries in Paris, Klaus Strickner in Vienna, the Mandal Gallery in Norway, the Malmö Art Center in Sweden, the Lec tic tic gallery in Nouméa as well as in Mexico City and Dubai, Nuit Blanche d’Oran 2012 and various festivals and events (Jeune Création 2012, DIVA Paris and New York, Video Appart, Paris, Journées du Patrimoine, Dieppe, Opus des forêts, Chateauvillain Festival du lin, Normandy, Root 66, Hastings, MOCA Taipei). Her curatorial research pushes her towards interdisciplinarity, bringing together visual artists, scientists, critics, historians, musicians, architects, urban planners, landscapers, filmmakers, performers… She was curator of the Biennale le Temps d’une marée in Dieppe, Normandy, co-curated with AWP in 2005 and 2007, then of the Diep festival with Philippe Terrier Herman and Sarah Michel in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and Rosie Hermon in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2018. http://www.aliceschylermallet.com/
