Propositions artistiques en échange de la résidence (oeuvres, cours, ateliers, dîner, concert...) : I offer work of art, an original work in exchange for the residence.
Description environment are you looking for ( nature, urban, other…) : I like any environment as long as it is new and inspiring to me; both urban and rural or small town places.
Describe your projects for a residence : I express myself using various visual materials and am author whose personal philosophy and recent works are articulating the idea of manifesting the possibility of diverse approaches coming out from one person. I am highly devoted to ultimative expressions of authenticity as with every new work I try to avoid my own ego and try to bring to life a pure work that is mostly related to an idea of a specific momentum. I'm also trying to do what it seems to me most futuristic, confronting the reality in conservative global art market with being myself highly unpredictable artist, purely devoted only to what it comes and makes sense to me in terms of absolute freedom and on-site situation. That is also why I like to do site-specific work and location, local culture and its specifics are substance that I need and use in my work.

    Artiste peintre, l’eau fait partie intégrante de ma pratique. Ayant suivi un enseignement d’aquarelle avec un maître chinois à New York , l’eau fascine les formes de mes paysages , jusqu’à devenir le paysage . Je peins avec les goutes de pluie , avec les vagues de la mer , un homage à la vie , à la beauté de la nature . Je cherche donc des résidences proche en bord de mer car je réalise un projet au contact des vagues de différents endroits . Mon travail est visible sur mon site louiselaffaille.com j’offre une peinture en échange du temps passé chez vous

    Salt in eyelashes is a photography and video project about insular teenagers identity and development in Greece. Where bodies reveal and affirm themselves and how they bind to each other in an open space by the sea. It goes along with my other photography projects, mainly “The Lobster Complex” in which I immersed myself in Brussels teenagers sphere. Thereafter, my “Bank” series portraited the skate culture in Luxembourg. More recently, in Formentera, I produced a series of photographs revealing my personal bond with the isle. Since my childhood, I traveled through Greece and its islands, under my parents impluse, who transmitted a piece of insularity through this inimate experience. The islands have sharpened my vision, my education, my way of approaching things and the livings. For me, they are like a second home, a second skin. Today, with Salt in eyelashes, I would like to pursue my teenager world quest with young people who grew up on those Greek islands and tell more about those islands through their bodies, their look and their fragility. My goal is to highlight the voices, the feelings, the stories of those people living or who have lived on an island. Through their testimony, I intend to dig, to feed and exchange knowledge around the subject of adolescence. The final result will be presented as a photography series and research notebooks but also as a video documentary and a paper edition.

    Bonjour, je me présente Karine, je suis de Montréal, du Québec, province francophone au Canada. Je suis artiste multidisciplinaire. Je suis en quête d'un endroit à l'international où travailler sur une série de peintures et dessins. J'aime beaucoup marcher pendant de longues heures, cueillir des fleurs et en faire des bouquets/ arrangements créatifs. Cela pourrait peut-être intéresser les hôtes qui offre un gîte aux touristes, ou amateurs de fleurs? : )
