Concert : L’Orchestre Inharmonqiue de Nice
L’Orchestre Inharmonique de Nice (LOIN) is an ensemble dedicated to improvised music, performed by students from the Villa Arson in Nice and the ENSAPC Cergy. It was founded sixteen years ago by Gauthier Tassart, an artist and teacher at Villa Arson, and this year we are delighted to announce that Sandra Boss will be conducting the orchestra for a free public concert. For this occasion, David Ritzinger and a team of students will produce screen-printed posters to mark the event.

Sandra Boss
A Danish composer who works with a transdisciplinary approach to musical performance, resulting in works that straddle the boundaries between music, performance, and installation. Her compositional method is distinctly exploratory, with a strong interest in the hidden sonic potentials of instruments and technologies. An important element of her work is a physical dialogue with sound sources, in which instruments and objects are treated as performative co-interpreters. Sandra studied with the American-Danish composer Wayne Siegel at DIEM, the Royal Danish Academy of Music. She holds a PhD in sound art from Aarhus University in Denmark.
Sandra Boss’s work has been performed by Chaos String Quartet (AUT), Ensemble Musikfabrik (DE), and Aarhus Sinfonietta (DK) in numerous international venues, including the Vancouver New Music Festival (CA), Future Stops (CA), Super Deluxe (JP), Café Oto (UK), KRAAK Festival (BE), Blurred Edges (DE), Seanaps Festival (DE), Speicher (DE), Akusmata (FI), LUFF Festival (CH), Detritus Festival (GR), and Festival SPOR (DK).
She was awarded the Carl Nielsen Talent Prize (2017) and a three-year working grant from the Danish Arts Foundation (2022).
David Ritzinger
As a student, he worked both as a record store clerk and for Alain Buyse’s gallery (a master of screen printing). This is how he discovered screen printing and met many artists. After finishing his studies, he tried his hand at working for regional museums as a stage manager and began managing the programming for the Frontière$ gallery, which is uniquely located within a psychiatric care facility. Realizing very quickly that it was impossible to showcase certain artists in institutional settings (due to politics, sexuality, money, and religion), he decided, along with a few close friends, to create the La Belle Époque Association in parallel to promote contemporary artistic practices.
Today, this association keeps him busy full-time with a gallery (L’isolée, V. d’Ascq) and a publishing studio/gallery (La Danseuse, Roubaix). In addition, he creates numerous exhibition designs for various venues. For the past decade or so, he has been involved in publishing in various ways, although screen printing has become his primary medium. His publishing work is carried out in direct partnership with artists and can take many forms: brochures, artist’s books, prints, posters, records, objects… He approaches screen printing with a technical mindset that he seeks to adapt to each project and with a political commitment to the independent dissemination of unique ideas. Among the artists with whom he has collaborated are: Tom de Pekin, Gérard Duchêne, Anne Van der Linden, Charles Pennequin, Joël Hubaut, Benjamin Monti, Lydie Jean-Dit-Pannel, Bertrand Mandico, Jacques Villeglé, Nicolas Tourte, Marc Brunier Mestas…
