Olivier Marboeuf

Olivier Marboeuf is a writer, storyteller and curator. He founded the independent art centre Espace Khiasma (www.khiasma.net), which he has been running from 2004 to 2018 in Les Lilas, on the outskirts of Paris. At Khiasma, he has developed a programme addressing minority representations through exhibitions, screenings, debates, performances and collaborative projects across the North-East of Paris. Interested in the different modalities of transmission of knowledge, Olivier Marboeuf’s proposals, at Khiasma and elsewhere, broadly inscribe themselves in practices of conversation and speculative narratives. He currently produces films within Spectre productions (www.spectre-productions.com), based in Rennes, and contributes to the cinematic distribution and research unit, Phantom. Khiasma closed in october 2018 but a new collective project is now developed at the same place in Les Lilas : Un lieu pour respirer.
