Centre d'art contemporain de la Ferme du Buisson, France
Artistic Director

Thomas Conchou is artistic director at Centre d'art contemporain de la Ferme du Buisson, France. Prior to this, he was the curator-in-residence at the Maison Populaire art centre in Montreuil, an association for popular education and amateur practice, where he conducted a cycle of exhibitions and events concerning artistic practices and queer relationalities. Conchou took part in the first project of AAC | Austrian Association for Curators in 2024. AAC is a platform for curatorial professionals, discourse and methodology. The platform aims to improve working conditions for professionals in the field and provide information on curatorial structures in Austria, including practical resources, best practices, and funding opportunities.

Conchou was part of a panel discussion that discussed the challenges of integrating performance art into mainstream art institutions, and how it challenges traditional ways of producing and experiencing art.

Thomas Conchou visited Vienna as part of being invited for the AAC project in July 2024.
