Join us at Bangkok 1899 for an engaging evening with artist Louise Covillas! Meet the artist and gain unique insights into her creative process and research developed during her month-long residency in Thailand as part of the 2026 edition of the "La Route des Résidences" program. This exhibition highlights work she created in direct response to the local territory and the ongoing research she conducted during her stay.

​About the Artist

​Louise Covillas (1996) lives and works in Paris. A graduate of the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris, she develops a sculptural practice rooted in collecting, close observation of living environments and an attention to the subtle forms of coexistence between human and non-human beings. Her work has been presented in numerous group exhibitions in France and internationally, including the Prix Dior de la Colle Noire (2023, Chapelle des Beaux-Arts de Paris), Galerie Strouk (2024, Paris) and a group exhibition at POUSH (Aubervilliers). She also participated in a residency in Shanghai directed by Paul Devautour, an experience that deepened her interest in site-responsive practices and in the relationships between places, uses and situated narratives. Alongside her artistic practice, she leads workshops at Le Sample (Bagnolet), exploring collecting and simple making processes.
