Vivien Trelcat

After studying music and electroacoustic composition in the Musicology UFR in Reims, and then in the creation studio of Césaré, and completing his training in the IRCAM, Vivien Trelcat gives a lot of space in his compositions to accidents, artifacts, chance, while keeping a direct relation to gestures and bodies. Rumours, reflections and games of transparency are mixed into a sonic painting, in pieces influenced by repetitive music, improvised or extra European. A musical assistant in Césaré, he guides workshops on artistic practice in the school environment and with “second-chance” schools. In the ESAD, he teaches the use of sound.

Valentine Toutain-Quittelier

With a degree from the Ecole du Louvre and a doctorate in art history from the Université Paris-Sorbonne, Valentine Toutain-Quittelier is a specialist in artistic exchanges between France and Italy in the 18th century, as well as the Regency of Philippe d’Orleans. Her thesis, Regards en miroirs. Les relations artistiques entre la France et Venise, 1700-1730 (“Seeing in mirrors, Artistic relations between France and Venice, 1700-1730”) won the Prix Nicole in 2012, which was rewarded by the Comité Français d’Histoire de l’Art. She co-directed the acts Watteau with confluent des arts; Esthétiques de la grâce (Aesthetics of grace) (PUR, 2014) and Visible Lisible (Seeable Readable), confrontations et articulations du texte et de l’image (confrontations and arcticulations of text and image) (Nouveau Monde Éditions, 2007). Her current research is on the transfers of models in Europe, and the interactions between art and finance in the context of what was conferred art status and gained heritage status in the financial world in the 18th century. In the ESAD, she teaches the history of classical art.

Sara Lubtchansky

A graduate of Sciences-Po (Institute of Political Science) Paris and trained in urbanism, Sara Lubtchansky has worked for several years in the development of an international festival for gardens in Chaumont-sur-Moire.

A free- lance since 2008, she has developed a cultural management that is geared towards contemporary creation. In the ESAD, she is in charge of the development of partnerships with the vegetal design studio.
