By comparison with Snow Dancing that served as the script for one of Philippe Parreno's best known exhibitions), Speech Bubbles is an anthology of his writings so diverse that it allows us to penetrate the thinking of one of the most complex, most intriguing, least decipherable artists of our times.
Born 1964 in Oran, Algeria, Philippe Parreno lives and works in Paris. Since the 1990s, Philippe Parreno's reputation has been built on his work's originality and on the diversity and variety of his practice. He views the exhibition as a medium, an object in its own right, an experience whose every possibility he seeks to explore. Preferring projects to objects, Philippe Parreno examines different approaches to narration and representation through film, sculpture, performance, drawing and text.
