Lili Reynaud-Dewar

Lili Reynaud-Dewar (born 1975 in La Rochelle) is a French installation and performance artist.[1] She currently lives and works in Grenoble and Geneva. Her work has been exhibited in many international surveys, including the 12th Lyon Biennale (2013), the Paris Triennale (2012), the 5th Berlin Biennial (2008) and the 56th Venice Biennial (2015).[2] Her practice includes film, installation, performance, text and sculpture, and is mainly concerned with the "boundaries of biography".[3]

Life and work

Reynaud-Dewar studied public law and classical dance before turning her attention to art criticism. She later graduated from the Glasgow School of Art.[4] In 2005, she began making art herself, beginning with sculpture and text; that year, she also collaborated with artist Tujiko Noriko, who made a short film using four of her texts.[5] In 2009, she turned to film and performance as her primary mediums, using them as commentary on racial issues like for example with Black Mariah (2009) and Cleda's Chairs (2010), in which performers wore black-face.[6] In 2013, she was awarded the Prix Fondation d'entreprise Ricard; that same year, the Frieze Foundation commissioned Reynaud-Dewar to produce "bedroom pieces" – installations of bedrooms "inspired by the works of writers who make their own life the material of their work."[7]

In 2009 she cofounded the feminist magazine Pétunia with Valérie Chartrain and Dorothée Dupuis.

Lili Reynaud Dewar is represented by Galerie Kamel Mennour in Paris, Clearing Gallery in Brussels and New York, and Emanuel Layr in Vienna.
