Curatorship and scenography

Hugues Jacquet, sociologist and historian of know-how

With degrees in political science, art history and organizational sociology, Hugues Jacquet is a sociologist and historian. He specializes in material know-how, its historical evolution and its current aesthetic, cultural and socio-economic contributions. He is the author of l'Intelligence de la main (L'Harmattan, coll. Logiques sociales, 2012) and numerous articles and contributions on the subject (published by La Documentation Française, Musée des Arts décoratifs, Flammarion, Institut national des savoir-faire français, Ateliers d'art de France, Formae...). In the "Savoir & Faire" collection (Actes Sud - Fondation d'entreprise Hermès), he has edited Le bois (2015, second updated and expanded ed., September 2024), La terre (2016), Le métal (2018), Les textiles (2020), Le verre (2022) and La pierre (2024). Also for Actes Sud, he edited "Versailles - Matériaux et savoir-faire", co-published with the Château de Versailles (2019). 

Marion Flament, visual artist and set designer 

After graduating from École Boulle, Marion Flament obtained her Master's degree from EnsAD in Paris, graduating with honors. There, she pursued a post-graduate research program in interactive lighting until 2017. After an exchange program at EAV Parque Lage in Rio de Janeiro, she was recently awarded residencies at Hors Pistes, Villa du Lavoir, Les ateliers de Paris, Villa Belleville and Casa de Velazquez in Madrid. Marion Flament seeks to produce scenarios to present a distended reality. She is inspired by sudden, minute changes in visual perception that give time a magical, dramatic quality.
