Exhibition of FoRTE #8 award winners, The Fonds régional pour les talents émergents (Regional Fund for Emerging Talent) in dialogue with works from the Frac Île-de-France collection

Aïda Bruyère, Alessandro Di Lorenzo, Antoine Dochniak, Liên Hoàng-Xuân, Ferdinand Ledoux, Lucille Léger and Rafael Moreno.

The exhibition brings together works by the FoRTE#8 (Regional Fund for Emerging Talent) visual arts award winners with works from the Frac Île-de-France collection. This encounter between different generations of artists reveals connections and contrasting perspectives on the forms and challenges of contemporary art.

This new edition showcases the diversity of artistic practices within the young art scene in the Île-de-France region: sculpture, multimedia installations, interactive video, performance, collaborative writing, and sound art.

Through their unique approaches, the artists explore the transformations of our societies and the relationships we maintain with our environment. Working conditions, cultural legacies, domestic violence, and the relationship between the body and technology thus become the starting point for new visual and narrative forms.

Created in 2017 by the Île-de-France Region and endowed with an annual budget of one million euros, the Regional Fund for Emerging Talent (FoRTE) is dedicated to guiding and supporting young artists on their path to becoming professionals, with the aim of helping them develop their first projects and promote artistic creation in the Île-de-France region. Since its launch, FoRTE—a one-of-a-kind initiative—has already supported more than 360 artists across all artistic disciplines (performing arts, film, music, and visual arts). Each year, the visual arts awardees have the opportunity to exhibit their projects—created with FoRTE’s support—at the Réserves du Frac Île-de-France.
