Art Orienté Objet
GALERIE ANTON WELLER
ISABELLE SURet
Marion Laval-Jeantet and Benoît Mangin came together in
1991 to form Art Orienté objet. In a collaboration that
resembles that between a playwright and a stage director
who are in constant dialogue (we can see them as artist
and “artistic-output-director”), they are fascinated by the
sciences of life in general and of behavior in particular-from
ethology to trans-cultural psychiatry.
During the last fifteen years, they have put forth several
poetic and surprising projects that have resulted from their
experimentations and that reveal our behaviors as we face
existence and the environment. Their works take on
various aesthetic forms (installations, objects, videos, and/or
photographs) in which we find a familiar animal presence
and a staging of their own existence.
The partnership Art Orienté Objet are concerned with
issues of the environment and animal experimentation.
Their works are informed by a critical interest in sociobiology,
psychology, and behavioural science which they
bring together under the roof of the museum. Their works
reveal an attempt to bring into the public’s view
experiments and issues which often exist behind the
closed doors of laboratories.
