Tristan Bera
Tristan Bera (b. 1984, Paris / Athens) is an author, researcher and cultural voyeur, whose solo and collaborative practice includes critical and fictional writing, curating and filmmaking. He studied aesthetics and history of art and participated in the experimental program in arts and politics directed by philosopher Bruno Latour at SciencesPo, Paris. His papers, published in magazines (artpress, The Art Newspaper) and catalogs (Centre Pompidou Paris and Metz, MAM Rio de Janeiro, Philharmonie de Paris, 8th Biennale of Thessaloniki and Bourse de commerce—Pinault Collection), are concerned with knowledge transfers across literature, art criticism and experimental philosophy and blends sociopolitical reflection, stream of consciousness, pop culture and character studies.
His films, co-made with Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Ana Vaz and Joshua Olsthoorn, have been showed at international film festivals including Rotterdam, London, Vila do Conde and Lisbon/Estoril as well as in solo and group shows at Zürich Kunsthalle, Haus der Kunst (Munich), Turku Art Museum (Finland), Centre Pompidou (Paris), ICA Winnipeg, Biennale of Moscow 2016, K20 Düsseldorf, Remai Modern Saskatoon, MAAT (Lisbon), Deutsches Architektur Zentrum DAZ (Berlin), Royal Academy of Arts (London), Tallinn Photomonth Biennial 2019 (Estonia) or Jan Mot (Brussels) and Gallery Koyanagi (Tokyo).
In 2021, Tristan Bera took part in Movement III at Onassis AiR (Artist-in-Residency) and, in 2022-23 he will benefit from their Tailor-made Fellowship for an upcoming specific book project. In 2024, he is writer-in-residence at Salzburger Kunstverein, and he, together with Stefan Kalmár, is a recipient of the curatorial research fellowship of The Andy Warhol Foundation, for an exhibition project dedicated to the wide-range influence of independent press Semiotext(e).
He is a founding member of the collective COYOTE alongside Nuno da Luz, Elida Høeg, Clémence Seurat & Ana Vaz, a multidisciplinary group working across ecology and political science through an array of conceptual and experimental forms. Since 2015, COYOTE has followed in the footsteps of one of its members every year (Paris, Lisbon, Αthens, Barcelona, Contour Biennale 9, La Becque’s Principal Residency Program, 8th Thessaloniki Biennale of Contemporary Art) to explore new territory originating from a specific investigation.

ALL DAY ALL NIGHT aims to propose an ontological approach on public space and social commons in the city of Athens, intentionally adopting a social, poetical, and fictional posture to explore a political and critical subject. The publication is conceived as a collaborative platform aiming at opening up the conversation on ever-evolving questions—what a public space is and how to live together in the city. Addressing the subject of public space could not be a monologue, “it should feel like an exceptional party.”
ALL DAY ALL NIGHT is a publication created and edited by Laure Jaffuel, published by the Ίδρυμα Ωνάση / Onassis Foundation in collaboration with DOLCE.
Publication year: 2020
Language: English / Greek

Exhibition's abstract: This exhibition looks into creative pair-work and the mechanisms of an artistic companionship: does each approach dissolve into one, are they complementary or do they oppose each other? Here, are explored the creative processes and artistic approaches which interact and evolve within the intimacy of a twosome to give us a broader understanding of Art History and the soul and fringes of its essential movements. The very idea of modernity, as impacted by social, artistic and technical evolutions, is reviewed here through the prism of the couple.
All texts are written in French.
