Meet the artists | Lili Reynaud-Dewar


In this episode of ‘Meet the artists’, Art Basel joins Lili Reynaud-Dewar in room 306 of the Royal Élysées hotel in Paris’s 16th arrondissement.

Reynaud-Dewar’s varied artistic practice encompasses performance, sculpture, video, and installation. She creates interventions that inhabit the architecture of a given space, interacting with the public in a way that transcends the boundary between the work and the audience.

In the intimacy of the hotel room, Reynaud-Dewar looks back on her artistic journey, her influences, and inspirations. ‘The hotel room interests me because it’s a generic space. You’re a tenant, not the owner of the premises, and I like this idea of impermanence.’

‘I feel like I’m doing something a bit sociological,’ says Reynaud-Dewar of her practice which seeks to integrate the social with the aesthetic, even if it means erasing herself.

Lili Reynaud-Dewar is represented by Clearing (New York, Brussels) and Layr (Vienna).

Dans cet épisode de « Meet the artists », Art Basel rencontre l’artiste française Lili Reynaud-Dewar dans la chambre 306 de l’hôtel Royal Élysées, dans le 16e arrondissement de Paris.

Lili Reynaud-Dewar mène une pratique artistique qui prend essentiellement la forme de performances, de sculptures, de vidéos et d’installations. Souvent, elle occupe les lieux à travers des interventions spécifiques qui habitent les espaces et propose ainsi une interaction avec le public, destinée à transcender la frontière entre œuvres et spectateur∙rice∙s.

Dans l’intimité de la chambre d’hôtel, elle revient sur son parcours, ses influences et ses inspirations. « La chambre d’hôtel m’intéresse car c’est un espace générique. On est locataire, jamais complètement propriétaire des lieux, j’aime cette idée d’impermanence. »

« J’ai l’impression de faire un travail un peu sociologique », continue-t-elle. Dans son œuvre, Lili Reynaud-Dewar cherche à intégrer le social à l’esthétique, quitte à s’effacer elle-même.

Lili Reynaud-Dewar est représentée par Clearing (New York, Bruxelles) et Layr (Vienne).
