Artists

  • Katrin Woelger works in performance art, olfactory art, installation, and participatory projects, focusing on hospitality, food, social dynamics, and environmental justice, often employing alter egos. Her practice unfolds through durational, site-specific formats in remote and public spaces, where she appears as a working figure engaged in processes such as distillation, cooking, and hosting. Woelger explores smell and taste as carriers of memory and embodied knowledge, creating sensory flashbacks of place and encounter. She is the initiator of the interdisciplinary urban art format Salonparcours in Vienna and collaborates with her daughter Felicitas as the duo somom. Her work is research-based, participatory, and internationally situated.

  • Muriel Louveau is a French composer, performance artist, and vocalist born in Brittany. Her work explores what she describes as a “medieval contemporary” aesthetic, drawing inspiration from ancient, ritual, and cross-cultural musical traditions. Through extended vocal techniques and an invented language, she creates sonic landscapes that bridge historical and cultural distances while remaining deeply embodied and present.

    Louveau’s artistic practice moves fluidly across music, poetry, theater, modeling, and interdisciplinary collaboration, each medium serving as a site for self-exploration and the development of a singular artistic language. She has performed internationally on renowned stages in the United States and Europe, including BAM’s Next Wave Festival, National Sawdust, Le Poisson Rouge, Galapagos Art Space, Artpark ,The Flea Theater, and the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore.

    Alongside her musical work, Louveau leads vocal workshops and teaches across disciplines, expanding her practice through community-based engagement.(Artist in residence at Artpark (2022–2023)

  • Visual artist, born in Abidjan in 1979, Juliette Vivier studied literature before attending the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs (ENSAD), where she specialized in printmaking. She explores the interplay between her work on paper and her three-dimensional work, particularly in ceramics, both driven by the concept of multiplicity.
    Recipient of several grants and residencies, she has spent considerable time in Spain, notably at the Casa de Velázquez, as well as in Denmark and Greenland. Also a mediator and teacher, she shares printmaking techniques in various settings, including the Beaux-Arts Workshops of the City of Paris until 2025. She lives and works between Paris and Burgundy, and is preparing two exhibitions, including a solo show in Auxerre in 2026.

  • M Dougherty (they/them) is a nonbinary scent artist and researcher working at the intersection of art, science, and technology. Their practice uses scent as both material and method, combining the rigor of psychophysics and perceptual engineering with deeply personal inquiry. Through installations, performances, and experimental systems, Dougherty explores scent as a form of communication and a carrier of memory, emotion, and embodied knowledge.

    Grounded in research yet oriented toward experience, their work investigates how sensory systems shape perception and reality, emphasizing the culturally, biologically, and emotionally specific nature of olfaction. Dougherty’s projects invite audiences to sense inwardly, positioning the body as the primary site of knowing and meaning-making.

    They are currently an apprentice perfumer at Mythologist Studio and are pursuing an academic context to further research in olfaction, perception, and experiential design. Dougherty’s interdisciplinary approach continues to bridge creative practice with scientific inquiry, advancing olfactory literacy and collaboration across fields.
