After a DNSEP at the Ecole Nationale des Beaux-arts in Lyons,
I conducted personal work combining plastic language and written
language, referring mainly to minimal art and conceptual art.
I then participated in the second session of the Institut des
Hautes Etudes en Arts Plastiques directed by Pontus Hulten (see the
book entitled Quand les artistes font école ). The session finished the
following year with an exhibition called Le territoire de l’art. It brought
together works by historic artists and young artists and was an important
stage in my development.
Three years later, I was invited to another noteworthy exhibition
by Pontus Hulten: Devant le futur in Taejon in South Korea. This experience
was an opportunity for me to make my first outdoor work, a paradoxical
piece on the ground with granite hexagons.
I then made several other permanent public works, in particular
in a direct line from this work in Lyons for LPA.
In Frankfurt am Main for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and
in Lyons for the Musée des Beaux-Arts, playing on similarities and
differences between languages; in Roanne, an interactive, polymorphic
work for the renovation of the law courts.
At the Verney-Carron gallery and at the Institut d’art contemporain
in Villeurbanne, I had previously made modular works which, when
assembled, gave short texts to be read with the aim of focusing on the
problem of the relation between form and substance.
The spectator is placed in the centre throughout my approach:
he or she interprets an ambivalent work through perceiving it physically
and understanding it
.
What is perceived is what is read.
