Lili Reynaud Dewar
Born in 1975 in La Rochelle, France
Lili Reynaud-Dewar is an artist, writer, editor, and teacher known for her multi-faceted collaborative projects. She works alone or collectively, using autobiographical material or elements borrowed from transgressive figures in twentieth-century cultural production, such as Joséphine Baker, Guillaume Dustan, Bjarne Melgaard, Cosey Fanni Tutti, and Pier Paolo Pasolini. Rather than focusing on a single theme or guiding principle, her work attempts to bring social and political issues into the aesthetic field, and to bring to light the contradictions of such an undertaking. Through a broad range of references, she explores the history of racial and sexual emancipation, the circulation and interpretation of artworks, biographical motifs in cultural production, and the shifting figure of the artist in a globalised world.
Born in 1975 in La Rochelle (France), Lili Reynaud-Dewar studied ballet and public law before studying at the Beaux-Arts de Nantes and the Glasgow School of Art. She lives and works in Grenoble (France).
