Tatiana Trouvé
Tatiana Trouvé was born in 1968 in Cosenza (Calabria, Italy) and grew up in Dakar (Senegal). She studied at Villa Arson, Nice, and then participated in Ateliers ’63, now De Ateliers, in the Netherlands. She teaches at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
Trouvé’s artistic approach originated with the creation of the Bureau d’Activités Implicites, a kind of laboratory of time where activities are always to come. From this research, she created drawings, sculptures, and installations that give an experience of disorientation through the composition of worlds where the orders and laws that define our reality are disrupted; where new coexistences of the physical and the psychological, of the vegetal and the mineral, are expressed; where space and time float; and where our perceptive landmarks shift.
Tatiana Trouvé has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions, biennials, and triennials, in museums and institutions both in France and abroad. Her first solo exhibition was held at the Centre national d’art contemporain at Villa Arson in Nice in 1997, and her first retrospective, The Longest Echo, was at MAMCO, Geneva, in 2014. In 2022, a major monographic exhibition, Le grand atlas de la disorientation, was held at …
