Since its creation, the Emerige Revelations Grant has never ceased to explore the playgrounds of young contemporary artists. Their universe is moving, in touch with the present and fed by the signals of a complex world, in crisis and in mutation. The great diversity of the forms they imagine or the mediums they use draws up a map of today's imagination: what can we still invent, what points can we connect, what new look can we take at the forms, modes and ideas that surround us, nourish us, bristle us...? In these plural approaches, there is no more center, no more movement which would make "school", but a cascade of possible, simultaneous. There is not a taste which would be dictated in the middle, but a multiplication of sparks, an artistic wind carried by a centrifugal energy. Spontaneous generation in its commitments, these artists light aesthetic, critical, political or poetic fires which heat our imaginations.

They forbid us to consider the world in a caricatured way: to those who would like a binary and simplified reading, they answer by the practice of a new cosmopolitism. The Emerige Revelations are established for them at a crossroads: by giving space to these young artists, we help them to gain a little more public attention. In this adventure, the essential complicity that develops with the gallery we invite to each edition is decisive. The great acuity with which Benoît Porcher, founder of the Semiose gallery, has evaluated the candidacies has allowed us to establish a very diverse selection, which leaves no doubt as to the magnitude of their artistic commitment. The twelve artists presented this year, in the fields of painting, sculpture, film, photography and performance, certainly have this in common: their intensity.
