Philippe Parreno

About the artist

Philippe Parreno (b. 1964, France) lives and works in Paris, France. As a key artist of his generation, Philippe Parreno has radically redefined the exhibition experience. Rather than presenting isolated artworks, Parreno transforms the exhibition into a unified, immersive entity. He sees exhibitions as scripts of choreographed events where image, sound and visuals led visitors on a immersive journey through the space. Parreno works in a diverse range of media including film, sculpture, drawing, and text. He studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Grenoble from 1983 until 1988 and at the Institut des Hautes Etudes en arts plastiques at the Palais de Tokyo, Paris from 1988 until 1989.
