Pierre Leguillon

For the past fifteen years, Pierre Leguillon has  re-worked major works from the 20th century, which he considers to have  been paralyzed by history. An artist, curator, professor, photographer  and critic.              

A laureate of the Villa Médicis, he currently teaches at the Haute école d’art et de design in Geneva. Pierre Leguillon  is a protean artist, working mainly on the production and reproduction  of printed images that have reached a wide audience through their  circulation in the mass media, evident in his works Danse Libre and  Musée des erreurs. Through these works and their presentation in  exhibitions, the artist can be said to question the hierarchies of art.
His work has been shown at the Mamco, Geneva (2011); the Moderna Museet,  Malmö (2010); the Louvre (2009); and the Artists Space in New York  (2009).
