Marc Pataut, born in Paris in 1952, lives and works in Aubervilliers. Since 2001, he has taught photography at the National School of Fine Arts in Paris where he studied in the studio of the sculptor Étienne-Martin in the early 1970s. In the 1980s, he moved away from the reportage to develop long-term documentary investigation projects engaging the modalities of exchanges adapted to each situation. An important political and human dimension exists in his work where he associates, in the conception and the elaboration of the work, a field of activity, a social situation, a history and an intervention in the institutional context.

After graduate studies in art, then in art history, Pia Viewing began working at the Contemporary Art Center La Criée in Rennes, where she created the educational service. A post at the Fondation De Appel in Amsterdam was followed, between 1996 and 2004, by a committed work at the International Center of Art and Landscape of Vassivière in Limousin. After seven years at the Regional Center of Photography (CRP) in Douchy-les-Mines, Pia Viewing moved to new horizons to become a researcher and exhibitions curator at the Jeu de Paume in Paris.
