For this first appearance of the Breizh Pavilion, Morgane Tschiember takes over her « flagship », Joachim Monvoisin's boat-sculpture, and will adorn its mast with two banners: the first, a flamboyant mane of hair in tribute to the legendary blondness of Venetian women; the second, bearing the colours of the original Breton flag, the Kroaz Du, with a black cross at its centre. In doing so, the artist symbolically and stylistically unites Venice and Armorica.

Born in Brest in 1976, Morgane Tschiember lives and works in Paris. A graduate of EESAB (Quimper) and Ensba Paris (2002), she received the Prix Jeune Création / Espace Paul Ricard (2001).

Her work, recognised for its material and sensory power, spans sculpture, installation, photography and hybrid practices. At its heart: an exploration of materials and landscapes — surface and volume, colour and matter — where traces of gesture, transformation and the body remain visible. Among her recent exhibitions: I Pounded Myself (Richard Taittinger Gallery, New York, 2024). In 2025 she presents Skin Pants (2025) in the exhibition Ce que tu fais en premier (EDF Group Foundation, Paris), a work commissioned for the show. She has also created a permanent work at the Athletes' Village (Paris 2024), within the SOLIDEO art programme.

Joachim Monvoisin's boat L'ingénue will fly the colours of the Breizh Pavilion, bearing Morgane Tschiember's banners and artefacts made by the artist-navigator — masthead ornaments and weather vanes for the voyage — embodying his skipper's vision, somewhere between a floating theatre and a space to meet over a glass of cider or a spritz. It shares in the Breizh Pavilion's convivial spirit, favouring encounter while boldly showing the daring design of its singular silhouette.

Joachim Monvoisin is a visual artist, sculptor, painter, filmmaker… Today he is building a boat to do all of this at once, guided by encounters and wind. He graduated from the Quimper School of Fine Arts in 2010, lives and works in Rennes, teaches at the preparatory class of the Saint-Brieuc School of Fine Arts, and co-founded Supra, an artist and designer run space near Rennes.

His work revisits craft skills and their materials (stone, wood, plaster, …) through imagery drawn from popular culture, blending poetry and lightness. His pieces have been shown notably with art centres in Pontmain, 2Angles and Passerelle… In 2025/2026 he is resident at the Cité internationale des arts in Paris and laureate of the Artagon-Enowe prize. He is also a filmmaker with Charlotte Vitaioli (Le Chant des Corbeaux, 2016; La Grande Terre, 2023).

SONNEURS brings together the four instruments of Brittany's sonné tradition; it is also a programme of international commissions to contemporary composers, with some thirty works to date, documented on three albums and in a film.

Erwan Keravec is a bagpipe player, composer and performer. He explores improvised music, from free jazz to noise, and builds a repertoire of contemporary music for ancestral traditional instruments.

After creating in 2002 a version of Terry Riley's famous In C in immersive form (the audience enclosed in a circle of twenty bagpipe and bombard players), he continued his research into repetitive music and created the programme 8 SONNEURS POUR PHILIP GLASS, made up of pieces written in 1969.
