Margaux Schwarz (born in 1986 in Paris, lives and works in Brussels)
Through sculpture, video and text Margaux Schwarz works on the relationships between individuals and groups, intimate and public. She is interested, almost in a sociologic or anthropological way, into how different types of languages can coexist, into how each expresses himself, act and react to deal with the world. Working through the field of abstraction material, documentary and fiction, she aims to create a dialogue in which these different types of representation combine. This conversational practice brings her to create open, sealed, moving, still or even wearable forms that are always questioning the right distance between one another, the inside and the outside. Margaux Schwarz took part to many international exhibitions such as Le Rayon Vert at Hôtel Van de Velde, Brussels, Jeune Création 2014 at 104, Paris and Youth at Maison Particulière, Brussels.
Martin Belou (born in 1986 in L'Union, lives and works in Brussels)
The work of Martin Belou plays with the idea of rituals and forms that cross all human ages and cultures,with a particular focus on wellness-related rituals. His works could be considered as seasonal, composed of different chapters and oscillating between performed sculptures, workshops and the development of decorums. Martin Belou mixes all kinds of materials and techniques which appeal to many references, as much as art history as our deep and ancient sensibilities.
He took part in different international exhibitions such as Anger Management at Komplot, Happy Faces at Johannes Voght, New-York City and recently EX Voto, a solo show at Space collection, Liège.

Romain Juan (born in 1984 lives and works between Brussels, Paris and Geneva)
In his early stages, Romain Juan was producing large scale structures made out of salvaged wood, some sort of fragile and baroque shapes. From now on, his sets of objects, made out of very different materials and techniques, play around with a tragicomic paradox borrowing forms and gestures from art field, but also from pop culture, testified by his researches on folk-music and stand-up comedy. He took part in different exhibitions in Europe, such as the Junge Kunst Aus der Romandie and ArtGeneve 2016 in Switzerland, and also the 59th Salon de Montrouge in 2013 in Paris.

Stéphane Barbier-Bouvet (lives and works in Brussels) Through different projects, such as his design studio atelierbbb, the construction program he initiated for the cultural field called Kaiser Kraft, and the exhibition space 1m3, Stephane Barbier-Bouvet conceives of his practice and productions not as autonomous proposals, but in response to a situation; emerging spontaneously out of the ideal combination of their functions, materials, techniques, their economy and their meanings. His approach relies on an open-field system, applying a methodology of design on the various cultural fields in which he intervenes, specifically questioning the notion of exhibition and the status of objects.
Since 2006, he developed a wide range of solo and collaborative projects; providing a lighting system for Hotel Abisso at Centre d’art Contemporain in Geneve (2013), curating at 1m3, displaying Fun Palace at Centre Pompidou (2011) or the Swiss Design Awards at Mudac (2011), furnishing the streets of Hyeres (2011), as well as Une Préface at Frac Ile deFrance (2013), decorating the Casa Tabarelli by Carlo Scarpa (2013), constructing the CCLA, Centre Culturel les Arques (2012), and a pier on the Dordogne River (2013), and exhibiting at Thruthandconsequences gallery and La Vie Matérielle at Fondation Ricard (2013).

As a trained cabinetmaker and furniture designer, Tom stresses the craftsmen’s position into a dirty practice; Happy sad instincts lead to slipstream non-functions.
Arthur is a créateur-designer whose skills encompass the field of fashion and design in the broadest sense. Lately, his magic-realist intuitions materialised into sympa objects. This chimes with his writings on sympathy, which he regards as a matter of shape and aesthetic responsibility. Together they fight against the sad condition of living with correct objects. Performing C-section in the belly of the house, propose deepdeep domestic layouts of counter-correct objects

Vincent Knopper works and lives in Amsterdam, Vincent Knopper uses cabinetmaking as a medium to propose and appropriate new applications, contexts and values. Lead by his love for standardized materials and industrial techniques, his works turn-around, reinterpret and recontextualize materials, objects and sculptures. The mutual influence of his autonomous practice and his applied work with kader-werk positions his practice in a grey area, while the outcome defines itself clearly.
