Being Aude Thensiau

Being an Artist is an interactive installation where participants/artists are invited to engage themselves in the life and work of a Various Artist. The process consists of presentations, lectures, workshops, and productions within the identity of the chosen Various Artist.Artists can free themselves from the (in)voluntary boundaries of their artistic framework. They can freely create new work according to the background, skills and psychology of the Various Artist.

Being Aude Thensiau is not a chronologically accurate re-installation of her studios. Instead, several periods of her life were covered that are linked with diverse workshops, such as the Vinorelle (Les Mauves Chants, Nid-de-Pied, Tintos, ..) or the cosmetic paintings like CCosmeth and Les Mars.
