MARIE DE BRUGEROLLE
WRITER
Marie de Brugerolle is curator, author and inventor of Post Performance Future, a ludo-concept and method that questions the legacy of performativity upon visual arts — from its origins towards its dematerialization and absorption by the Society of the Spectacle. She is also developing POLYSPHERE, ongoing research about objects that are at the intersection of archeology and futurology.
Brugerolle is the leading authority on the French-born Californian artist Guy de Cointet and has been instrumental in introducing Californian conceptual art to European art viewers, presenting the first large surveys of Allen Ruppersberg (1996), Guy de Coinet (2004), John Baldessari (2005), and Larry Bell (2010).
Brugerolle has worked extensively on the question of re-enactment, including re-staging the final work of Cointet, Five Sisters (1982), at LACMA LA, and MoMA, New York (2012) ,and Bride Groom at the Musée M, Leuven, Belgium (2017).
Brugerolle often collaborates with other curators and artists on exhibitions. Recent collaborations include I was a Male Yvonne de Carlo (2011) at MUSAC, Léon, Spain, an exhibition on political satire she organized with the artist Dora Garcia, as well as the exhibition ALL THAT FALLS (2014) at the Palais de Tokyo, Paris, which she co-curated with the writer/psychoanalyst Gerard Wajcman.
Other recent curatorial projects include SPACEY FOREVER, Los Angeles (2018); LA EXISTANCIAL at LACE, Los Angeles (2013); RIDEAUX/blinds at IAC Villeurbanne, Lyon (2015); SALON DISCRET, at MNAM, Centre Pompidou, Paris (2017); and CBARET What Not/Speak Easy, LAXART (2019).
