IN TWO – EXHIBITION AND SOUND PIECE < ALETHIA LECOQ DIAZ ET ÉLODIE ARMATA >
From 21 January to 11 February 2023
The IN TWO cycle is part of a partnership between Les Ateliers Vortex and Why Note, which combines visual arts and sound performance. This new short exhibition format brings together a duo of visual artists and a musician who perform a piece from the contemporary repertoire. Think in consultation, these artistic proposals respond and complement each other. These events also reaffirm the desire to collaborate with the local scene and, above all, to offer the opportunity for young artists to professionalize through the exercise of the exhibition.
The carte blanche offered to artists in the occupation of the Ateliers Vortex space invites them to take a new look at their works. The encounter induced by the interpretation of a piece of music adds a performative dimension to the whole, made visible and accessible to the public through video recording.
This 2023 edition brings together Alethia Lecoq and Élodie Armata, two young artists, both graduates of ENSA Dijon.
The vitality of Alethia Le Coq’s sculpture and installation, close to the living, will be combined with that of the gesture, the impetus of painting and the creative energy that is at the origin of Élodie Armata’s work. Élodie’s free lines, bright and flat colors will thus respond to Alethia’s poetic associations between ideas and materials.

MONOGRAPHIC EXHIBITION < NATHAN CARÊME >
From 10 March to 22 April 2023
For this first annual monographic exhibition, the Ateliers Vortex invite Nathan Carême. Born in 1997, he lives and works in Dijon. After his agricultural and landscape studies, he graduated in 2020 from the School of Fine Arts of Chalon-sur-Saône.
His work has been exhibited at 19 CRAC in Montbéliard, at the Serra di Saint-Étienne, at the Consortium Museum in Dijon, at Frac Franche-Comté and at the Pistoletto Foundation in Biella.
“I am one of those children who grew up in these quasi-cities, the ones built on the fringes. I immediately saw these landscaped concrete places where everything is straight, radiant, vanished into dust. The collapse first gave way to a cloud of composite elements, a fiery cloud that spread over my territory, this modern Pompeii. Then the disappearance of the smoke gave way to beautiful ruins. Over the rubble, other clusters of similar houses were erected, lined up and framed by curved streets.
This hardness got me bogged down so I fled from the inside. Outside I was playing in the armed carcasses of construction sites. The buildings then formed layers of concrete. Stacked, these empty spaces, without partitions, looked like open spaces. I took another point of view. I was part of the backstage: these spaces in the making; future 60 square meters that would have hastily caulked my next neighbors. The bulldozers changed the landscape every day, sometimes the subsoil was exposed; sometimes the collision caused the mountains to rise. During the sleep of the machines, it was my sandbox.
At the foot of each of the buildings were the boxes, these public, green spaces. This imitated nature growing in the shade of concrete was limited to a kind of leper lawn, easy to maintain or embodied by a geranium in its plastic container. “
