Baptiste Pinteaux

Baptiste Pinteaux (1992, France) is an art history researcher, editor, and independent exhibition curator. He co-edits the journal octopus notes and Daisy Editions. From 2018 to 2023 he contributed to arranging the program at Treize, an independent exhibition space. His most recent research focuses on the work of the artist and novelist Pati Hill (1921–2014), the filmmaker Jean Painlevé (1902–1989), and the New York art critic Lil Picard (1899–1994). These projects have been supported by the Centre National des Arts Plastiques and the Institut Français.

His residency project is devoted to publishing a book on the work of PaJaMa, a trio of American artists made up of Paul Cadmus, Jared French and Margaret Hoening French. These three, painters by training, developed a remarkable corpus of photographs, from 1937 to the early 1950s, on the beaches of Fire Island, Nantucket, and Provincetown. This year of research aims to reintroduce their work by illuminating it from new perspectives, particularly by exploring their links with Italy.
