Born in 1991, Jeanne Vicerial began making clothes as a teenager.
 
Following studies at the Decorative Arts School, she turned to research in clothing design which led to a SACRE PhD thesis exploring contemporary clothing design, and offering an alternative to the tailor-made/ready-to-wear dichotomy linked to the fast fashion system. Thanks to a partnership with the mechatronics department of Mines–ParisTech, she furthered her research by developing a patented robotic process to produce made-to-measure clothing without waste fabric. 
 
In parallel, and following a stint with Hussein Chalayan, Jeanne Vicerial engaged in an artistic process which led her to found the Clinique Vestimentaire design studio. In developing new principles for textile creation, she draws primarily on muscle fibres to produce her own weaves.  A resident at the Academy of France in Rome - Villa Medicis in 2019-2020, she developed a working technique close to sculpture, exhibited in Rome and at the Lambert Foundation (Avignon). Her work has also entered the CNAP (National Centre for Visual Arts) collections.
 
She is represented by the Templon Gallery.

Platform for New Assemblies

 Architecture, Philosophy  Meetings

 

The world today is changing in a way that is threatening traditional forms of coming together and prompting a search for new ways of living together. The climate emergency, crisis in democracy and digitalisation are all challenges that are opening us up to the need and desire to invent new forms of gathering.
The international and multidisciplinary programme Platform for New Assemblies brings together key figures from various disciplines – art, science, cookery and architecture – to discuss various configurations of the collective and examine the way in which we do, and will, live together. They will do so in a variety of forms: spoken word, concerts, performances, screenings, a "meta-siesta", listening session and exhibition of works.

 

This first edition of the programme, which will be developed over several years with the generous support and collaboration of the CHANEL Culture Fund, will lead us in our reflection from the privacy of the bedroom to the plural density of the city via the informal space of the home.

 

This first session, which was devised by a think tank comprising the Cave Bureau architecture firm (headed by Stella Mutegi and Kabage Karanja), the philosopher Emanuele Coccia and architect Andrés Jaque, welcomes many voices to the debate: the architectural historian Beatriz Colomina, starred chef Julien Dumas, sociologist Eva Illouz, architect Tatiana Bilbao and many others, all of whom share the conviction that assembly today is an emerging and crucial form.
