Graduated in Higher Studies from the Ecole du Louvre, Caroline Cournède joined the team of the Fondation des Artistes in 2005 to work on the prefiguration of the Maison d’Art Bernard Anthonioz (MABA), a contemporary art center. Since then, she has worked on the development of the art center and ensures its artistic programming. Her recent projects include in particular the curation of the exhibitions Cellule de performance (2022), Le Serpent Noir (2021), The Truth is not the Truth (2019), O! Wattup (2017). Through her choices of artists and invitations of curators, Caroline Cournède deploys a committed programme questioning society and its modes of operation.
In parallel with her duties as director of the MABA, she is also in charge of the patronage program of the Fondation des Artistes which supports around fifty artists each year and accompanies them in the production of new works. She regularly participates in diploma juries and round tables within various institutions.
