Philippe Parreno
(French, born 1964)
Biography
Philippe Parreno is a contemporary French artist whose multidisciplinary practice includes collaborations with Pierre Huyghe, Liam Gillick, and Rirkrit Tiravanija. As part of his practice, Parreno examines how systems of representation as well as memories produce meaning. The artist’s incomplete film script L’Histoire d’un sentiment (1996), is gesture that calls attention to the narrative of producing through imagining a fictional creative project which will never be made. “What I would say is that without people like Daniel Buren or Larry Weiner I would have been really ashamed to proclaim myself a Conceptual artist,” he explained. Born in 1964 in Oran, Algeria, he grew up in Grenoble, France, attending the city’s École des Beaux-Arts before moving to Paris to study at the Institut des Hautes Études en Arts Plastiques at the Palais de Tokyo. First rising to prominence in the 1990s, his early works include video-conference lectures which incorporate footage from popular television shows and movies. In the years that followed, the artist has produced both visual works and written texts analyzing a number of topics. He continues to live and work in Paris, France. Today, Parreno’s work are held in the collections of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Tate Modern in London, and the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, among others.
