Bénédicte le Pimpec is an independent curator and is co-director of “ateliers bermuda”, a space dedicated to artistic research and production located in Sergy (Ain), France.
A graduate of the Beaux-Arts in Brest and holder of a master’s degree in curatorial practice from HEAD – Geneva, she has collaborated with numerous institutions such as the Palais de Tokyo in Paris (2013), the Contemporary Art Fund of the City of Geneva (2016-2018), Kunsthaus Langenthal (2018), the National Centre for Visual Arts in Paris (2019), as well as Mumbai Art Room in India (2019).
She has also participated in various residencies, including Fonderie Darling in Montreal (2017), Das weisse haus in Vienna (2014), Astérides in Marseille (2015), and has carried out curatorial residencies in New Delhi and Mumbai as part of a program organized by Pro Helvetia. From 2018 to 2020, she took part in a research project supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation, led by Ileana Parvu, exploring the role of the hand and processes of delegation in post-conceptual art practices. This research resulted in the publication of the book Faire, faire faire, ne pas faire (ed. Presses du Réel) in 2021.
Currently, her work focuses on collective creation practices, and she is pursuing a PhD in curatorial practice, examining the sustainability of artistic practice spaces. She is also leading, as head of programming at Fondation Pavillon Sicli in Geneva, a project with Swiss artist Thomas Hirschhorn, which will be presented to the public in 2026.
