Camille Henrot
°1978, Paris (FR) – lives and works in New York (US)
Camille Henrot's diverse practice combines film, drawing, and sculpture. Taking inspiration from subjects as varied as literature, mythology, cinema, anthropology, evolutionary biology, religion and the banality of everyday life, Henrot’s work acutely reconsiders the typologies of objects and established systems of knowledge.
A 2013 artistic fellowship at the Smithsonian resulted in her film Grosse Fatigue, for which she was awarded the Silver Lion at the 55th Venice Biennale.
Recent solo exhibitions include the New Museum, New York; the New Orleans Museum of Art; Schinkel Pavillon, Berlin; Chisenhale Gallery, London; Kunsthal Charlottenborg; Westfälischer Kunstverein, Münster; Espace Culturel Louis Vuitton, Paris; and MCA, Chicago. Group exhibitions include Salzburger Kunstverein, Kunsthalle Vienna; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Museo de Arte Moderno Medellín; MoMA, New York; Fondazione Nicola Trussardi, Milan; Musée du Louvre, Paris; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; Yerba Buena, San Francisco; and MACBA, Barcelona.
Forthcoming solo exhibitions are scheduled at the Palais de Tokyo, Paris and the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles.
