A graduate of
Villa Arson, Marie-Ange Guilleminot (born 1960 in Saint-Germain-en-Laye) lives and works in Paris. Active on the international art scene (Venice Biennale, Skulptur Projekte Münster, Jerusalem Museum, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Hiroshima Museum of Contemporary Art, Kyoto Art Center, etc.), she is widely represented in public collections and has completed several commissions in public spaces. Since the beginning of her career, she has favored performance and film; in parallel, she is developing a work in progress centered around a house-artwork.
Marie-Ange Guilleminot envisions the exhibition space primarily as a place for living and research, where artworks define themselves through ongoing dialogue with each individual. Marie-Ange Guilleminot's oeuvre, remarkably diverse, encompasses performances, artist's books and films, photographs, installations, and "functional sculptures."
Nomadic in nature, Marie-Ange Guilleminot's artistic practice is attentive to the techniques of the countries and cultures she encounters. Each of her projects is an opportunity to explore local know-how and engage in dialogue with it. Ceramics, metal, glass, textiles, paper, wood—throughout her projects, the artist explores the various transformations of materials through numerous collaborations with artisans and technicians from around the world.
