@Dominique Castell


Between June 2023 and June 2024, Dominique Castell paid several visits to the

island of Kythira, tracing Aphrodite’s birth. Inspired by these visits she created a

series of works that are now exhibited at 21 bis cour Mirabeau in Aix-en-Provence.

In an effort to expand on her work, Voyons Voir collaborated with the Schools of Fine

Arts in Marseille and Athens, as well as with the French Institute of Greece, in order

to organize a cross-residency between Greece and France for two graduates of the

art schools. Creating a platform for communication and networking, the program aims

to establish a meaningful dialog between French and Greek artists, starting with the

experience of their artistic residency.

@Chloé Paré


In 2024, artists Chloé Paré and Clare Poolman were selected to participate in the

one-month parallel artistic residency program in Marseille and Rhodes, respectively.

Chloé Paré, who is in residence with 'voyons voir art contemporain et territoire,'

transcribes stellar and sensory objects, experiences, and apparatuses grounded in

Marseille. Meanwhile, Clare Poolman explores unfolding lines, letters, and mappings

in light of her encounters with Rhodes.

As the curator of the exhibition notes: “The project relates to a wide range of

conceptual references revolving around the symbolisms of the goddess Aphrodite

and the island of Kythira and has been rendered with sensibility by the three artists,

each with her own aesthetics of contemporary creative expression and through a

variety of artistic idioms. It is well known that Kythira is a place of multiple symbolisms,

from antiquity to the present day, and has attracted the attention of several visual

artists (Watteau, Charos), poets (Baudelaire, Ouranis), writers (Hugo, Voltaire),

filmmakers (Angelopoulos) and musicians (Katsaros, et al.)”.
