The collective, founded by artists Amélie Scotta (FR) and Jérôme Bouchard (CA), explores urban dynamics through drawing, painting, and installation. Together, they develop projects rooted in temporary sites, at the intersection of architecture, geography, and the notion of territory. Their approach to collaborating as a duo focuses more on sharing processes than on producing four-handed works.
The exhibition Directions Passagères: 31UES9541231417, conceived in an abandoned house in Saint-Gilles, brought together seven artists of various ages and backgrounds in a collective practice combining visual creation and critical reflection.

Amélie Scotta (born in Nantes in 1983) is a visual artist with a degree in Art from La Cambre in Brussels and in Design from HEAR in Strasbourg. She has received several awards and residencies, including the Prix Cocof, the Prix Carré sur Seine, the Casa de Velázquez, and the Cité Internationale des Arts. She exhibits regularly in Belgium and abroad. Her strong connection to urbanism also leads her to numerous projects in public space.

Jérôme Bouchard (born in Quebec in 1977) develops a practice situated within the expanded field of painting. His work is nourished by the challenges of cartographic representation in an uncertain world. He currently resides in Belgium, after participating in several residencies: in Japan (TWS and TOKAS), in Belgium (RAVI and Villa Empain), and in France, at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris. He holds a master’s degree in visual and media arts from UQÀM (Canada).
