Lives in Paris (FR).
Born in 1981, living in Paris and working together since 2001, Louise Hervé & Chloé Maillet are among the most active artists of the new French scene, producing genre movies, performed conferences, and installations. Keeping pace with the pervasiveness of storytelling and the ambiguity of the discursive strategies in the postmodern era, their practice is a singular synthesis of contemporary art practices and human sciences.
The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
The M HKA Ensembles represent our first steps towards initiating the public to today's art-related digital landscape. With the help of these new media, our aim is to offer our artworks a better and fuller array of support for their presentation and public understanding.
