Guest
Anicé Claudéon
Artist and designer based in Amiens, he is known for his particularly cute animal models, characterized by a unique style. Anicé has presented his pieces at numerous exhibitions and conventions in France and internationally. His creations have also been published in various books intended for both folders and the general public.
Today, his work tends towards humanoid models, sometimes folding several subjects from a single sheet, highlighting the illusion of movement, the texture and lightness of the paper.
Francesco Decio
An Italian designer living in Bergamo, Francesco is interested in geometric and modular forms, with a predilection for mobile models or those that can be played with. He sees his folds as stages of a personal journey aimed at arousing the public’s emotion and generating beauty.
Francesco has been participating in Italian origami meetings since the 90s.
His creations are published in several collective works published in particular by Nuinui as well as in folding meeting booklets.
Exhibition Theme
In addition to the classic exhibition of models, this year we invite you to pay tribute through folding to Jean-Philippe Rameau, a music composer born in Dijon. Great music theorist, he is particularly known for his opera-ballets and lyrical tragedy such as Hippolyte et Aricie or Les Fêtes d’Hébé. We hope that this theme around music but also representation will inspire you to create or interpret.
The Place
9bis is the conference center of the diocesan house of Dijon. 20 minutes by transport from the station, 10 minutes on foot from the city center, the place has parking and many car spaces are available in the surrounding streets. The Meetings will take place in two large rooms on the ground floor, with access to a wooded park.
Lunches
For lunches, the association will organize a meal tray service (different choices to be ordered before the event, information later, around €20).

How do I exhibit ?
Whether you’re a designer or not, it’s highly recommended that you exhibit your foldings at the meetings ! It’s an opportunity to exchange tips and ideas with other folders and show off your skills.
If you have registered as an exhibitor, you will be given a table space approximately 40 cm wide. For any special requests (wall hanging, extra space, etc.), please contact us so that we can find the most suitable solution.
Whether you are a designer or not, it is important to reference the foldings exhibited with the name of the folder and the name of the designer. You can prepare your labels beforehand to specify all the references of the foldings on display (designer, author, etc.), or find paper on site to make them.
This is not a sales exhibition.
How can I teach ?
If you register as a teacher, we’ll contact you with the details. Never taught a group of folders at a meeting before ? This is your chance to get started in front of a friendly group ! We can give you advice and help you prepare your sequence, as well as assisting you on the spot if you need it.
What is the programme ?
The programme is tailored to the participants. A rolling schedule will be presented a fortnight before the meetings. But rest assured, there will be interesting workshops and meetings every day !
I’ve got another question !
Send us an email to contact@mfpp-origami.fr, and we’ll get back to you and add the details to this page if necessary !
