This 2018 Rencontres Bandits-Mages  edition is based on a selection of pieces created during the artists in residence programme of the EMAP network.

“Exploring Reality either in a tangible, fictive, idealised, unconscious, fabulatory or speculative way, all these works, despite their very different aesthetics and contents, are coming together in terms of care, in the sense of “taking care of”. All these works delve beneath the surface, within bodies and minds, within logos and iconos, bringing together collectiveness and individuality to mend the fabric of the world.”
Annick Bureaud, Paris, July 2018
