Palais de Tokyo is presenting a solo exhibition by Laure Prouvost

Laure Prouvost was born in Justelieu (France) in 1961, before moving to London, where she studied at Central Saint Martin’s College, then Goldsmith College. The winner of the Max Mara Art Prize in 2011 and of the Turner Prize in 2013, she now lives between London, Antwerp and a caravan in the Croatian desert.

Her work adopts the form of independent stories that intersect and answer to each other, in which ction mixes with reality. These situations become immersive installations, inviting escapism, in a dialogue between lms, sculptures, paintings, tapestries, performances or fragmentary tales, sometimes addressed directly at visitors. Generous and full of humour, her work examines the relationships between language, image and perception, placing the visitors in situations of doubt and incomprehension, but also a wonder which is both intellectual and sensorial.
