Tatiana Trouvé is a contemporary visual artist based in Paris. She was born in Consenza, Italy in 1968, and later spent time living in Senegal, the Netherlands, and the South of France.[1]
Trouvé produces sculptures, drawings, and installations, many of which incorporate architectural interventions.[2] One of her most well known pieces is the expansive project titled Bureau d’Activités Implicites (or Bureau of Implicit Activities) that was produced over the course of ten years. This piece that took the form of an improvised office environment served as a repository and archive of work that she was making, or planning to make, as a then-unknown artist.[3] In an interview in 2009, Trouvé commented that, "Time is the theme underlying all my work." [3]
She is represented by Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin in Paris and has exhibited internationally. In 2007 she participated in the 52nd Venice Biennale.[3] In 2001 she won the Paul Ricard Prize, and in 2007 she won the Marcel Duchamp Prize.[2] A monograph of Trouvé's work with text by the French writer, art critic, and curator Catherine Millet was published by Walther Konig in 2008.[4]
