Friche la Belle de Mai
PerformanceCette année, le Festival Parallèle a invité deux artistes présent·e·s dans la programmation de l’année dernière à revisiter la notion de cérémonie d’ouverture : Juliette George et Joseph Perez.

Born in 1994, Joseph Perez graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2018. He has notably presented projects as part of the travelling exhibition “Hotel Europa” (in Vilnius, Lithuania, in 2017, in Brussels in 2018, then in Tbilisi, Georgia, in 2019), during the event “100 artistes dans la ville” presented by the MO.CO. (Montpellier, 2019) and at the exhibition “Futures of Love” at the Magasins généraux (Pantin, 2019).
In 2021, he is associated with the creation of Artagon Marseille in the Sainte-Marthe district in the 14th arrondissement. There he offers workshops with the programme (R)ouvrir le monde, sets up the Sainte-Marthe Cinema Club with other residents and participates in the 12th edition of the Parallèle festival during the evening “Confessions nocturnes”.
After studying literature, Juliette George studied at the ENSP in Arles, from which she graduated in 2021. Since then, she has developed her practice through group exhibitions in Paris, Tbilisi, Marseille and Montpellier (Jeune création, Mécènes du sud, Château de Servières), residency programmes (Ateliers médicis, Rouvrir le monde, Images in), readings (Rencontres de la photo, laboratoires d’Aubervilliers) and publications (16b éditions, carnets des laboratoires d’Aubervilliers)
