Marie Matusz. Collection Cahiers d`Artistes 2021 [— 155] — 2021
Аннотация: Marie Matusz (1994, Toulouse) lives and works in Basel and Berlin. Her work results from critical engagement with forms and their inherent meanings, evolving through in-depth research into philosophical, sociological, and linguistic theories. By juxtaposing elements and textures, she creates an aesthetic of management and develops a choreography of the viewer while the works seem to remain motionless and static. This suspension goes beyond the physical, as it seeks to activate a suspension of time. Her work plays with this moment of idleness by presenting objects from various historical archives taken from our classical lexicon, and reexamining them through contemporary lenses and production techniques. Recent solo exhibitions include Until We Turn Blue (Dorothea Von Stetten Art Award), Kunstmuseum Bonn (2020); Epoche, Kunst Raum Riehen (2020); Golden Hour, Atelier Amden (2019); and Caravan, Aargauer Kunsthaus (2019). Marie Matusz received the Swiss Art Award in 2021.
