Speakers & Moderators

Guillaume Désanges is a curator and art critic. He holds a DESS in "Visual Arts and Multimedia." He quickly turned his focus to the cultural sector, where he has since coordinated numerous projects (such as 24H Foucault, the Musée Précaire Albinet by Thomas Hirschhorn, and a tribute to Henri Langlois). Serving as the General Secretary of Les Laboratoires d'Aubervilliers from 2001 to 2006, he played a key role in the leadership team in establishing this venue as a prominent space for contemporary creation. The exhibitions he has curated and the texts he has published (Trouble, Exit Book, Exit Express) aim to refresh and reimagine the forms of active critique in original and playful ways. In 2022, he became President of the Palais de Tokyo.
