Post lot text

De son vrai nom Caledonia Curry, Swoon est l’une des premières artistes de rue à gagner une reconnaissance internationale, à la faveur notamment de son exposition Submerged Motherlands au Brooklyn Museum en 2014, ouvrant ainsi la voie à la féminisation de cette forme artistique jusqu’alors principalement masculine. Par ses installations, son travail explore principalement les communautés humaines, leurs interactions, leur transformation possible grâce à l’art mais aussi leurs traumatismes et leurs dépendances. Ses œuvres sont conservées dans des collections publiques et privées, dont le Museum of Modern Art, la Tate Modern, le Detroit Institute of Arts et le MASS MoCA. Plusieurs musées internationaux lui ont dédié des expositions personnelles et collectives : Museum of Modern Art et MoMA PS1, à New York, Brooklyn Museum, Mori Art Museum, à Tokyo, au Japon, Institute of Contemporary Art, à Boston, Skissernas Museum, à Lund, en Suède, MIMA Contemporary Art Museum, à Bruxelles, en Belgique, et Museo de Arte Contemporáneo, à Oaxaca, au Mexique.

‌Swoon, whose real name is Caledonia Curry, was one of the first street artists to gain international recognition, notably through her exhibition Submerged Motherlands at the Brooklyn Museum in 2014, paving the way for the feminisation of this previously predominantly male art form. Through these installations, her approach mainly explores human communities, their interactions, their possible artistic transformation,but also their traumas and addictions. Her work is held in public and private collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, Tate Modern, Detroit Institute of Arts and MASS MoCA. She has also had solo and group exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art and MoMA PS1 in New York, the Brooklyn Museum, the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo, Japan, the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, the Skissernas Museum in Lund, Sweden, the MIMA Contemporary Art Museum in Brussels, Belgium and the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo in Oaxaca, Mexico.
