Pierre Leguillon
Lives and works in Bruxelles (Belgique).
For the past fifteen years, Pierre Leguillon has re-worked major works from the 20th century, which he considers to have been paralyzed by history. An artist, curator, professor, photographer and critic.
A laureate of the Villa Médicis, he currently teaches at the Haute école d'art et de design in Geneva. Pierre Leguillon is a protean artist, working mainly on the production and reproduction of printed images that have reached a wide audience through their circulation in the mass media, evident in his works Danse Libre and Musée des erreurs. Through these works and their presentation in exhibitions, the artist can be said to question the hierarchies of art.
His work has been shown at the Mamco, Geneva (2011); the Moderna Museet, Malmö (2010); the Louvre (2009); and the Artists Space in New York (2009).
