Fabienne Audéoud
Fabienne Audéoud lives and works in Paris after a dozen years in London and a two-year residency at the Jan van Eyck Academy in Maastricht.
It's after an M.A. in fine art at Goldsmiths that her work, until then mostly musical, re-focused on visual art practices and developed in the 90's British art scene. Her body of work includes paintings, videos, a collection of perfumes, a jumper shop and music performances. It is focused on power relations, mostly within language and around gender and the politics of representation. It has been widely shown in independent spaces as well as in major international institutions. Rather than the illustration of a critical position or the demontrastion of knowledge, she tries to find and/or create a space for intervention(s), where an action is possible, with what Robert Garnett describes as "the logic of the joke, a disruptive affect rather than an ironic commentary."
