Clélia Berthier
Artist-in-Residence
- Residency
AXENÉO7 is pleased to welcome artist Clélia Berthier (Nantes, France) for a research and creation residency taking place during the spring 2026 programming season. This residency is presented as part of an international exchange program developed through a partnership between the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec (CALQ) and Le Lieu Unique (Nantes, France).
Clélia Berthier is a visual artist based in Nantes, France. Her practice centres on installations and performative sculptures involving edible materials such as bread, corn and rice. She is interested in the actions and uses surrounding food, the forms this produces, and the experiences it generates. She completed a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Fine Art at the University of Rennes 2 before joining the École des Beaux-Arts de Nantes, where she obtained a DNSEP in 2019.
She joined the Ateliers Bonus in July 2021, received the City of Nantes Visual Arts Prize in 2023, was awarded a residency at the Centre d'art et de diffusion Clark in Montreal in 2024, and was invited by Bertrand Godot to hold her first solo exhibition at Le Carré Contemporary Art Centre in Chateau-Gontier in September 2025.
