Tania Mouraud
Since the 1960s, Tania Mouraud’s work has been part of a practice that questions the relationship between art and social links using different media: painting, installation, photography, sound, video, performance, etc. Since 1989, Tania Mouraud has been creating murals by experimenting with the plasticity of writing on an architectural scale. Black letters and white spaces, calculated with the golden ratio, are stretched to the limit of legibility.
In 2019, with production support from Rubis Mécénat and as part of the Art & Industry triennial, she created three new monumental works in the port and the city of Dunkirk, France.
Tania Mouraud was born in 1942 in Paris, France. She lives and works in Colombiers, France. From the end of the sixties, Tania Mouraud’s work explores the relation between art and social connections through various medium such as painting, installation, photo, sound, video, performance, etc.She proposes to add a meditation room to our standard apartments (1968). On 54 billboards in Paris (1977) she declares her disapproval of a society glorifying consumption at the expense of individuals . She investigates the decorative relation between art and war as well as the limitation of perception by creating “mots de forme” (words of shape) (1989). From 1998, she uses photo, sound and video examining different aspects of History and Life.
