Laurent Grasso (born in 1972) lives and works between Paris (France) and New York (USA). His work addresses different scales and temporalities across multiple media. He has questioned the structure of the museum ("PARAMUSEUM," Palais Fesch, Musée des Beaux-Arts d'Ajaccio), the history of art, as well as themes of nature and culture (notably with "The Black Box," Hirschhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, DC; "Uraniborg," Jeu de Paume, 2012, and Musée d'Art Contemporain, Montreal; "Soleil Noir," Fondation Hermès, Tokyo; "OTTO", Biennale of Sydney, 2018, and Perrotin, 2019), as well as notions of science and technology (starting with "Gakona," Palais de Tokyo, 2009). He was awarded the Prix Marcel-Duchamp (2008) and was a resident of the French Academy in Rome (Villa Medici) (2004-2005). In parallel, Laurent Grasso has been invited to create installations in public spaces, such as Solar Wind (2016), a permanent work on the outskirts of the 13th arrondissement in Paris, placed on the walls of the Calcia silos. He is represented by Perrotin (Paris, New York, Hong Kong, Seoul, Tokyo, Shanghai) and Sean Kelly Gallery (New York).
