Mrzyk & Moriceau

We do not always know what the consequences of our actions are, and it seems easier to predict more ordinary everyday cause/consequences effects. The drawings and sculptures by MRZYK & MORICEAU are based on a refutation of these two preconceptions. The outcome is doubt as to the actual business of seeing: it might get things right, but it always thinks of itself as foreseeing. But seeing is not always re-seeing. Which explains our pleasure in discovering a new work by this duo, the third of their contributions to the Air de Paris vitrine.

Petra Mrzyk and Jean-François Moriceau have been collaborating since 1998. During these last years they have had many individual exhibitions (Ratio 3, Los Angeles ; La Caixa, Barcelone ; Villa Arson, Nice..) as well as group shows (Chapelle du Genêteil, Château-Gontier ; le Crédac, Ivry-sur-Seine ; Loftprojekt ETAGI, Saint-Petersbourg ; Bétonsalon, Paris…). The works of Mrzyk et Moriceau are in many french and american collections, both public and private, such as FNAC, les FRAC Poitou Charentes, Pays de la Loire, Ile-de-France, and the Musée d’Art Moderne de la ville de Paris, du MoMA, New-York et du LACMA, Los Angeles. They have also made music videos for Air and Sébastien Tellier.
