BiographyDominique Gonzalez-Foerster, born in 1965, has come up with an extremely varied range of work ever since she started in the early nineties. It includes film projections, photography and spatial installations, but she also enters into joint ventures with fellow artists as Pierre Huyghe, Liam Gillick and Rikrit Tiravanija. She has worked out scenarios for the French chansonnier Christophe, designed displays for Balenciaga's fashion boutiques in New York and Paris and designed a house for a collector in Tokyo. Her work is characterized by a quiet, intimate interrogation of contemporary urban life. Exploring cinematic conventions, temporality and subjective experience, her short films and installations recreate specific moments in which individuals intersect with places - highlighting the individual nuances of cultural and social contexts. Ange Leccia was born in 1952 in Minervie, Corsica. He has used huge video projections to both intervene with the architecture of the gallery and to tell the stories of personal and public dramas. Work by Ange Leccia has appeared all over France and in U.S. venues such as the High Museum in Atlanta, the CAM in Houston and Inova in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Ange Leccia and Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster have already collaborated on the short film "Ile de Beaute" (1996), which combined a written scenario with selections from the hundreds of hours filmed by Leccia in the previous ten years.
