10 ans de création, d'expositions, d'échanges et de transmission. 

10 years of creation, exhibitions, exchanges and transmission.

The Thalie Foundation, a decade of creation (Skira Editions) is an art book that traces the unique initiatives of an art foundation committed to contemporary creation, women artists, global majority scenes, bio-design and the art of ecological storytelling. More than 300 artists, performers and writers have been invited and supported since 2014. A private patronage initiative led by Nathalie GUIOT, art collector, publisher and exhibition curator.

Exposition singulière et poétique, Terra Viva propose un dialogue entre deux femmes engagées dans l’art et le design, Nathalie Guiot, collectionneuse d’art, commissaire d’exposition et entrepreneure, avec Amélie du Chalard, galeriste et cheffe d’entreprise. Située à la frontière de la galerie et de la collection privée, cette conversation curatoriale propose une lecture sensible du vivant.

Terra Viva is a unique and poetic exhibition that offers a dialogue between two women involved in art and design, Nathalie Guiot, art collector, exhibition curator and entrepreneur, and Amélie du Chalard, gallery owner and business leader. Straddling boundaries between gallery and private collection, this curatorial conversation offers a sensitive interpretation of life.

Géologie des âmes (“Geology of Souls”) evokes the idea that human subjectivities—both individual and collective—are as complex, profound, and stratified as the geology of the Earth. Each layer, each fault line, each emotional or political sediment leaves a trace: the memory of a trauma, a colonial legacy, the loss of connection with the living world—or, conversely, an attempt to repair, to listen, to transmit.

‘Hurongwa’ (Plan) de Wallen Mapondera (°1985, Zimbabwe) 

We are thrilled to welcome in the collection, two pieces from remarkable artists:

‘Hurongwa’ by Wallen Mapondera (b. 1985, Zimbabwe)
Wallen Mapondera is known for his sculptural compositions crafted from reclaimed materials such as cardboard, leather, and plant fibers. Hurongwa—meaning "structure" or "system" in Shona—is a reflection on the invisible networks that shape our societies: social organizations, informal economies, and interpersonal relationships.
