Fonderie Darling invites you to discover the recent research of artists in residence Baptiste Eybert, Dagmara Genda, and Yael Frank, carried out during their stay at the center.

The free event will take place in the artists' studios, located on the ground floor and third floor.

Moderated conversations with Dagmara Genda and Yael Frank will be held in English, with French interpretation provided on site.

BAPTISTE EYBERT

Baptiste Eybert is a multidisciplinary visual artist based in Montpellier. Born and raised in Paris, he graduated from the École des Beaux-Arts de Montpellier with a DNSEP degree in 2020. Before devoting himself fully to the visual arts, he spent several years working in the fashion industry as a couturier, artistic director, and stylist, an experience that had a lasting impact on his approach to textiles. During his residency at Fonderie Darling, Baptiste Eybert hopes to further explore a textile language imbued with dreams, tensions, and buried memories.

The 2025-2026 Transatlantic Residencies are made possible thanks to the support of the Consulate General of France in Quebec City, Culture Pro – Ministry of Culture (France), as well as partners MO.CO Esba, Quartier Éphémère and Matapédia Jonction Pôle.

DAGMARA GENDA

Dagmara Genda is an independent artist and writer. She immigrated to Canada from Poland and has been living in Berlin since 2017. Starting with drawing, her work extends to sculpture, installation, and public art. At Fonderie Darling, Genda continues to “peel” drawings from their surface and force them to adapt to physical space. With new metal sculptures and works on paper, she works with and against gravity to transpose the logic of the page into three-dimensional space. 

YAEL FRANK

Yael Frank's interdisciplinary research-based work examines the fragility inherent in all action through sculpture, video, architecture, and image creation. During the residency, Frank continues to develop Sniff, a parodic film about nature that juxtaposes the absurdity evoked by puppets with ecological seriousness. This multidisciplinary project explores themes of muteness, the collapse of language, and the crisis of agency through sculptural video.
