Philippe Parreno
Philippe Parreno studied at École des Beaux-Arts in Grenoble , and Institut des hautes études en arts plastiques at Palais de Tokyo , Paris . He lives and works in Paris , France .
Philippe Parreno is a French artist who rose to prominence in the 1990s , earning critical acclaim for his work that spans a diversity of media , including film , sculpture , drawing , and text .
Parreno radically redefined the exhibition experience by taking it as a medium , placing its construction at the heart of his process . Exploring the possibilities of the exhibition as a coherent “ object ” rather than as a collection of individual works , it becomes a veritable open space , a format that differs on each occasion , and a frame for things to appear and disappear .
Parreno conceives his exhibitions as a scripted space where a series of events unfolds . He seeks to transform the exhibition visit into a singular experience that plays with spatial and temporal boundaries and the sensory experience of the visitor who is guided through the space by the orchestration of sound and image . For the artist , the exhibition is less a total work of art than a necessary interdependence that offers an on-going series of open possibilities .
