2022 Grant – “Art Schools – Artists” College – Villa Arson, Nice (FR)

Born in 1997. Lives and works in Marseille.

Claire Bouffay’s plastic and historical research aims to demystify our systems of production and value, by working with materials, reinterpreting old objects and techniques, and writing new histories. She wrote her Master’s thesis on the question of digital technology and its alternatives, and is continuing her reflection on technologies, their history and evolution. In 2021, she took up residence at the Pistoletto Foundation in Piedmont, to conduct research into metal mining in the Alps, and the relationship between the environment and human activity. She is a member of the Wanda Green art collective, which explores the relationship between art, technology and ecology, and of Somme Sensible, a trans-disciplinary collective offering participative and immersive events to learn how to celebrate differently.
