Lili Reynaud-Dewar
Lili Reynaud-Dewar (born 1975) is a French installation and performance artist who was born in La Rochelle.[1] She currently lives and works in Grenoble and Geneva. Her work has been exhibited internationally, and she has shown at the 12th Lyon Biennial in 2013, the Paris Triennial in 2012, and the 5th Berlin Biennial in 2008.[2] According to her own description, she 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 Lili's texts.[5] In 2009, she turned to film and performance as her primary mediums, using them to commentary on race with pieces like 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 that are "inspired by the works of writers who make their own life the material of their work."[7] Her piece My Epidemic was presented at the 56th Venice Biennial in 2015.
She cofounded Pétunia magazine with Valérie Chartrain and Dorothée Dupuis.
Lili Reynaud Dewar is represented by Galerie Kamel Mennour in Paris and Clearing Gallery in Brussels and New York
