Laure Prouvost

°1978, Lille (FR) – lives and works in London (UK) and Antwerp (BE)

Laure Prouvost's work often engages with language through installation and film, creating an unexpected and often humorous detachment between image, language, and the perceived meaning. Her juxtaposition of images and texts prompt an exploration of the imagination and the surreal that immerses the viewer in a playful questioning of experience and meaning.

Prouvost had solo exhibitions including shows at Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt; Haus der Kunst, Munich; Neuer Berliner Kunstverein, Berlin; New Museum, New York and Extra City Kunsthal, Antwerp. Her work has been show in several group exhibitions, such as FRAC Bourgogne, Dijon; Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Art, Copenhagen; The Royal Academy, London; Kunsthalle Wien, Vienna; KAI 10 Arthena Foundation, Dusseldorf and Portikus, Frankfurt.

In 2011 Prouvost won the Max Mara Prize for Women, which led to her 2013 exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery - for which she was awarded the UK's prestigious Turner Prize.
