Art historian and project officer at the Musée du Louvre, Cyrille Gouyette holds a DEA degree from the University of Paris I, Panthéon Sorbonne. Passionate about the connections that can be woven between the arts and historical periods, his DEA thesis already focused on a comparison between wall representations in Byzantium and in Italy in the 14th century. In particular, he published with Jean-René Gaborit Les élans du corps : le mouvement dans la sculpture with the Musée du Louvre editions in 2005, followed by Le nu féminin dans la peinture occidentale with Sonia Brunel, with the same publisher in 2008. More recently, he published Une street histoire de l'art, released by Alternatives/Gallimard in 2021. In 2022, he curated the exhibition "Incursions sauvages" at the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature in Paris.
Bob Jeudy is president of the art promotion association "Les Ateliers de l’Etoile" and a founding member of the association La Lune en Parachute, founded in 1991 with the support of Philippe Séguin, Member of Parliament and Mayor of Épinal, and a founding member of the association Le M.U.R.
After founding brand strategy agencies and directing contemporary art galleries, Joël Knafo supports companies and institutions in projects combining contemporary art, marketing, and communication.
Nicolas Laugero Lasserre is an entrepreneur in the cultural and artistic sector. He is co-founder of the Artflux group, an organization creating floating art centers in Paris (Quai de la Photo, Fluctuart, les péniches de Paris, Son de la terre, etc.).
