Tatiana Trouvé (born August 4, 1968) is a contemporary Italian visual artist based in Paris who works in large-scale installations, sculptures, and drawings. Trouvé is the recipient of numerous awards including the Paul Ricard Prize (2001), Marcel Duchamp Prize (2007), ACACIA Prize (2014), and Rosa Schapire Kunstpreis (2019). Trouvé has taught at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris since 2019.

Early life and education[]

Born in Cosenza, Italy to an Italian mother and a French father, Trouvé spent her early childhood in Italy and her adolescence in Dakar, Senegal, where her father taught architecture. After studying at the Villa Arson in Nice, France where she graduated in 1989, she spent two years in residence at Atelier 63 in the Netherlands before eventually settling in Paris in 1995.[1][2]

Work[]

Trouvé produces sculptures, drawings, and installations, many of which incorporate architectural interventions.[3] One of her most well known pieces is the project titled Bureau d’Activités Implicites (or Bureau of Implicit Activities) that was produced over the course of ten years from 1997. This piece that took the form of an improvised office environment served as a repository and archive of work that Trouvé was making, or planning to make, as a then-unknown artist.[2] Through the creation of architectural modules, Trouvé constructed an administrative space to house her creative efforts as well as her clerical attempts to adherence to the red-tape of the art world.[4] The administrative module is the most significant of this work, because it regroups all the documents that attest to her life in social and administrative terms (CV, grant applications, cover letters, job applications...)[5]

Since 2005, Trouvé has been constructing maquettes or doll houses which emerge from the universe of "implicit activities", which comprise her series Polders.[6] These maquettes take the form of deserted workplaces, recording studios or unoccupied desks. They represent that which has always been there, waiting to be recuperated or reorganised.[7] Placed on the ground or fixed to the wall, these items adapt themselves to the physical exhibition space, and at the same time they suggest the existence of a different space or environment. These Polders look to occupy the space in order to parasite it. "It is with the goal of reconstructing the spaces in which I had been or in which something happened : reconstructions of space, of memory, in the form of maquettes" - Tatiana Trouvé[8]

In an interview in 2009, Trouvé commented that, "Time is the theme underlying all my work."[2] In that, her work – according to art critic Roberta Smith — synthesizes a wide range of sources, including Richard Artschwager, , Ange Leccia, Eva Hesse, and Damien Hirst.[9]

Collections[]

Public and private collections that hold Trouvé's works include Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris; MAMCO, Geneva; François Pinault Foundation, Venice; Fondation Louis Vuitton, Paris; Migros Museum, Zürich; and FWA, Foundation for Women Artists, Antwerp, Belgium.[10]
