Laure Prouvost: For Forgetting

Laure Prouvost: For Forgetting | Gender and art | Scoop.it

"In February 2014, the New Museum will host the first solo museum presentation in the United States of the work of artist Laure Prouvost, featuring a new, immersive installation for the New Museum’s Lobby Gallery.

 

In her films and installations, Prouvost unhinges commonplace and expected connections between language, image, and perception. Stepping away from traditional linear narratives, she exposes the unstable relationship between imagination and reality, and opens up a space where audiences can engage provocatively with surreal aspects of meaning. In her films, she often addresses viewers directly, manipulating their senses through a barrage of fast-paced moving images, directive texts, and interspersed clips of sound to achieve a physical experience."

La Française Laure Prouvost remporte le Turner Prize

La Française Laure Prouvost remporte le Turner Prize | Gender and art | Scoop.it

"Laure Prouvost est la première française à remporter le Turner Prize, doté de 25 000 livres (30 200 euros), le prix le plus prestigieux attribué à un artiste contemporain. Il lui a été décerné lundi 2 décembre à Derry (Irlande du Nord), où se tient jusqu'au 5 janvier 2014 l'exposition regroupant les quatre candidats.

 

La jeune femme, âgée de 35 ans, née à Croix (Nord), près de Lille, mais qui vit à Londres (ce qui lui permet de participer, avec son oeuvre Wantee, au Turner Prize, réservé à un résident ou à un natif britannique), était confrontée à de sérieux concurrents : Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, David Shrigley – donné favori par les bookmakers – et surtout Tino Sehgal, qui a remporté le Lion d'or de la dernière biennale de Venise."
