Still reflecting on the beautiful energy surrounding our presentation at the 1:54 Contemporary African Art Fair ✨

To every artist involved: thank you for trusting us with your work and vision. Your talent, generosity, professionalism, and kindness shaped this experience from beginning to end.

Thank you to all collectors, curators, advisors, and art enthusiasts who engaged with our booth, the artworks, and the artists throughout the fair — we hope this is only the beginning of your Caribbean art journey.

Thank you to Nathalie Piquonne for being such a steady and calming presence throughout the fair, and to the entire 1:54 community for creating a space filled with intention, dialogue, and connection.

We’re also grateful to the Goldman Sachs Black Network visitors who showed engaged interest and curiosity during our Afro-Caribbean art tour.

So much happens behind the scenes to bring moments like these to life — from shipping and logistics to transportation, installation, and accommodation — and we are deeply thankful to everyone who helped make it all possible.

Thank you for making this presentation such a meaningful success. Thank you New York! 🩶

The conversations continue online and some artworks remain available through our new website portal.

After introducing the artists of Entanglements, it felt only right to introduce the curator behind the project too.

Curated by Vanessa Selk and presented by TM Arthouse , Entanglements brings together voices from the Caribbean and Amazonian regions through a curatorial lens rooted in French Caribbean and diasporic contemporary art practices.

In the nonprofit art world, “curator” usually also means installer, producer, accountant, social media manager, logistics coordinator, and occasional emergency problem solver. The curatorial vision is only part of the story — the rest happens somewhere between spreadsheets, install days, BTS content, and carrying artworks across Chelsea.

A small behind-the-scenes moment from building this project with the artists, the foundation, and everyone involved. Thank you to all! 🩶

ENTANGLEMENTS I — Hyphenated Identities

The first chapter of Entanglements brings together artists whose practices navigate diaspora, migration, ritual, memory, and cultural transformation across the Caribbean and its global extensions.

Featuring:
• Chantaléa Commin (Guadeloupe)
• Nyugen Smith (Haiti/Trinidad/USA)
• Tania L. Balan-Gaubert (Haiti/USA)

Through painting, installation, sculpture, embroidery, and participatory environments, these artists explore the layered realities of displacement, resilience, ancestry, and self-fashioning — examining identity as something continuously negotiated across histories, territories, and inherited narratives.

Presented May 13–17, 2026 at the Starrett-Lehigh Building, Chelsea, New York, in partnership with the 1:54 Art Fair. Hosted by TM Arthouse - Booth 11. Curated by Vanessa Selk .

🗓 May 13–17, 2026

Presented by TM Arthouse — the new collecting platform of our nonprofit organization TOUT-MONDE Art FOUNDATION, launched as a continuation and renewal of Atlantic Arthouse — this group presentation brings together Caribbean and Amazonian artists whose works examine entanglement as both historical condition and living force shaping the region.

The booth emerges as a contemporary Babel: a dense constellation of forms, symbols, and languages where identities fragment, collide, and recompose.

Across embroidery, wood, metal, sculpture, and photography, the works assemble spiritual codes, vegetal and animal motifs, domestic objects, and hybrid structures that resist singular interpretation. Foregrounding cacophony over coherence, the presentation approaches our societies as composite formations — layered, polyphonic, and in constructive chaotic movement.

The booth brings together a majority of artists of Francophone Caribbean descent — spanning Guadeloupe, Martinique, and Haiti — including Chantalea Commin, Eymric Moderne, Thierry Alet, Tania L. Balan-Gaubert, Nyugen Smith, and Edouard Duval-Carrié — alongside artists working across Amazonian postcolonial contexts in French Guiana, Suriname, and Venezuela: NouN, Johan Amiemba, and Ramses Serrano.

Curated by Vanessa Selk, Founding Artistic Director of TOUT-MONDE Art FOUNDATION and TM Arthouse.

GRATEFUL to all who joined us for a magical evening at the studio of Edouard Duval-Carrié. Art, research, and celebration came together in a true Tout-Monde spirit.

What made this gathering so singular:

— A rare constellation of collectors, philanthropists, scholars, artists, students, and community beyond the art world
— A sold-out salon conversation, reflecting the interest in the dialogue between the artist and Erica Moiah James (stay tuned for the upcoming published recording if you missed the talk)
— For over a third of attendees, a first entry into the artist’s studio—and, for many, a first encounter with his work
— The emergence of new collectors, with first acquisitions from the Pre-Venice series
— A deliberate commitment to accessibility, opening pathways for younger and emerging collectors
— A dedicated student offering, fostering a relaxed, intergenerational exchange
— A vibrant musical set by Gardy Girault, carrying the evening and artist into celebration
— A Haitian buffet and rhum bar, extending the experience into a fuller cultural immersion

With thanks to our rhum partners: Rhum Barbancourt, Clairin Lakay, Spirit of Haiti, and our bar curator Konbit Bwason.
