Amandine Pierné, lives and works in Angoulême. 
During her journeys, she captures and recalls intriguing moments, perceiving their peculiar poetry: strict geometries, the interplay of the artificial and natural elements. Amandine Pierrné’s works embody a sensitive and delicate fusion of these crossroads, blending situations and sensations connected to a place, a landscape. 

She creates her pieces through simple yet profound combination of natural and human materials, different shapes, colours, images or gestures, each element is meticulously selected based on combined ideas and poetic figures.  Amandine Pierné’s works transcend the boundary between memory and fiction, creating a plastic vagabondage where abstraction and detournement converge to provoke contemplation and wonder.

Both a precursor and a witness to the transformation that Bordeaux has undergone over the last ten years Seeko’o is much more than a hotel; it’s one of the emblematic buildings of the city. Since 2007, it has been breaking the norms and standing out from Bordeaux’s 18th century architecture with its iconic design, including its white corian facade, making it iconic in the city. 

 In 2019, convinced of the need to integrate a neighbourhood life and implement an eco-responsible policy, the Seeko’o Culture brand was created. Its objective it to position this iconic place as an architectural landmark but also as a welcoming space for local artists and the Bordeaux public, promoting its local roots.  

Seeko’o hosts the exhibition “Fragments” by Nicolas Claris and Romain Claris. For the first time, Nicolas expresses himself in black and white, focusing on fragmented memory, evoking a puzzle that can only remain incomplete. Meanwhile, Romain draws inspiration from the oldest know Greek sculpture of Aphrodite while questioning the ability of artificial intelligence to create true beauty.

Tinbox is an “artwork” gallery created by Nadia Russell Kissoon. Since 2007, she has designed five tinboxes that materialize in the form of exhibition boxes of various sizes with a display case. These mobile micro-architectures blur the lines between artwork and design object, aiming to bring contemporary art into public spaces, whether streets or dedicated or non-dedicated art spaces. This creates a dynamic interplay.  

In this BAD+ upcoming edition, the Tinbox will showcase the exhibition "La République des Océans et des Mers" by the artists Marianne Peltzer and Marina Chastenet.

Displaying in the streets of Saint Catherine, the digital visual artist Anne Sarah Le Meur, alongside students from Montaigne High School studying art history has installed abstract lenticular prints designed to evoke vibrant, shifting illusions. With their interplay of darkness and radiance, smoothness and texture, primal essence and cosmic allure, these images provoke visual ripples and fluctuations in the observer’s eye. 

From the legacy of vision sciences revered by impressionists and pioneers of abstraction and kinetic art, the artist delves into the visual possibilities of computer-generated imagery and the lenticular technique, evoking a profound perceptual response and igniting a dynamic exploration of perspective in the viewer.

Valérie Belin (b. 1964) is considered one of the most important French photographic artists of her generation (winner of the prestigious Prix Pictet in 2015). She has also been a major artist on the French and international art scene since her debut in 1993. Graduate of ENSBA Bourges and the Sorbonne (philosophy of art), she initially focused on American minimal and conceptual art before quickly turning medium photographic, which became the true subject of her work. 

Playing with the codes of image and representation, through photographic series saturated with visual signs in her most recent works, she accompanies the technological changes in photography, from analog to digital, while also drawing from the traditions of interwar interwar avant-gardes. 

Her transition to colour, starting in 2004, brings more pictorial dimension and a fully embraced “kitsch” aspect to her photographs. Valérie Belin blurs the lines between real and virtual, nature and artifice, inanimate objects and living beings.
