Both complex and restrained, Chloé Quenum’s first installations make use of everyday objects and images in a different way each time. These variations allow her to explore the modalities of representation and their mutations in the manner of an infinite work in progress. Through this installation performance, the artist questions the displacement and impermanence of things. Inspired by her stays in West Africa and Oceania, her approach is now evolving towards an anthropological and historical approach to methods of transmission and communication through writing.
Born in 1983 in Paris, Chloé Quenum graduated with honours from the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris in 2011. She is represented by the Galerie Joseph Tang (Paris). She lives and works in Paris.
