Contemporary artist and influential French figure, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, was born in Strasbourg, France, in 1965. Since the 1990s, she has stood out for questioning and transgressing the boundaries of the visual arts, creating relationships between adjacent disciplines, namely architecture, cinema, music, fashion and literature, resulting in diverse experiences such as interventions in gardens or emblematic buildings of modernism, concerts, radio creation workshops and sound installations in partnership with musicians or the remodeling of Balenciaga stores in New York, Paris and Hong kong.
She has received several awards, including some of the most prestigious in the world of arts, such as the Marcel Duchamp Award. Dominique has also had a retrospective at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, considered one of the most important exhibitions of the year in France.
Some of her most important exhibitions include 887-2058, at the Centre Pompidou and K.20, in Dusseldorf (2015/2016), Temporama no Mam in Rio de Janeiro (2015) and Splendide Hotel, at the Museo Reina Sofía em Madrid (2014). She also staged QM.16 in Paris, in 2016. Some of her most important films include Malus (2004), Atomic Park (2004) or The Magic Skin (2011).
The French artist has been a guest of the LEFFEST several times. In 2013, a retrospective was dedicated to her and she was a member of the jury.
Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster will be present at the LEFFEST22, where she will exhibit her new film Christophe.. Définitivement.
