Christophe Beaucourt (born in 1973) has been created fixed and animated images since 1997. His works may be considered as gonzo journalism as he truly assumes the subjectivity of his motion pictures and photography artwork. His skateboard & punk roots makes him observe our times through an alternative vision. Influenced by Jean Baudrillard, Hunter Thompson, William Klein, Robert Capa and Glen E. Friedman, to name just a few, he works between experimental documentaries, fiction projects, music videos, live show pictures and street photography through his traveling way of life.
Open Studios – Open Process is a project aiming to encourage the cooperation between artists, engaging in conversations through artistic practices while also opening the doors of artistic studios for the audience involvement into creative process and the dialogue. For acknowledged artists this project is an opportunity to implement their ideas beyond their traditional studio space, while for the young artists this is an opportunity to show their work to public.
