John Mascaro

Last updated

John Mascaro is a painter and self-taught architect working between New York and Los Angeles.

Mascaro graduated with an MFA from the Slade School of Art in 2004. In 2008 he co-founded Mut-Architecture with Eleonore Morand after meeting at Acconci Studio in Brooklyn, NY. Mut's projects blur the division between painting and architecture, as seen most specifically in their "Restaurant 51" project at the [Cinémathèque Française] in Paris, France, and the "South Bronx Igloo project" in which a large cardboard igloo was fabricated atop a roof in the South Bronx section of New York.

Mascaro's paintings and structural experiments have been exhibited at Haven Arts in the South Bronx, New York, and Le Carré Noir in France.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Vincent Fournier (photographer)</span>

Vincent Fournier is a French artist and photographer. His works explore questions of science fiction, utopian stories ,and different mythologies of the future such as the space adventure, humanoid robots, utopian architectures, and the technological transformation of the living. His vision is nourished by childhood memories, including visits to the Palais de la Découverte, which evoke the "scientific wonder". While photography remains his preferred medium, 3D printing, video and installations sometimes accompany certain projects. Vincent Fournier's images are put in tension by oppositions that disturb our gaze: reality/fiction, logic/absurdity, past/future, magic/science, natural/artificial. He explores futuristic fiction and discovers in our present, or in the past, "glimpse of the future". After graduating in sociology and visual arts, he studied at the École nationale supérieure de la photographie in Arles and obtained his diploma in 1997.
