\u00abThe boss is a concept that helps me to create, to multiply.\nAs with the principle of the Langue Secou\u00e9e this matrix allows me to create\na universe.\nI can shift, stay in the movement.\nI create associations with shapes and words.\u00bb\nMyriam Mihindou<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab Liquids are omnipresent: papers are steeped in lemon tea or rose- hip infusions,\nsalts and sand, sweat or tears. Flux, drips, trickles and seepages evoke the fluid\nmechanics of the human body and geophysics alike. Undulating sheets suggest\nsilty riverbeds, with stitching for veins and scars. Sandbags look like kidneys. \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab This profound humility is central to her work. A particular humility rooted in the word\u2019s Latin origins, from humilis: low, lowly, humble, and\nearth (or humus). A hands-on physicality, close contact between the artist\u2019s body and the body of the work, through a process of immersion. \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BIOGRAPHY<\/p>\n\n\n\n

French-Gabonese artist Myriam Mihindou (b. 1964 in Libreville, Gabon) is the winner of the 2022 Prix Nouveau Regard AWARE. Mihin-\ndou studied architecture and visual art, and attended the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Bordeaux. She works with a broad range of media, from\nperformance to textiles, drawing, installation, video, and photography, exploring the porosity between these different expressive spaces.\nCare, healing, ritual and the memory of the body are central themes in her work, as she experiments with texture and raw materials, soaking,\ntwisting and wringing, juxtaposing, stitch- ing or gouging. Her oeuvre explores physical experience and mem- ory, and the memory of\nplace, drawing on language, history and learning to shed light on the cathartic function of art. Her work has been shown in recent years at\nthe Centre Pompidou (Paris, France), the Centro Atlantico de Arte Moderno (Las Palmas, Canary Islands), the Museo Nacional Centro de\nArte Reina Sofia (Madrid, Spain), the Museum f\u00fcr Moderne Kunst (Frankfurt, Germany) and the Contemporary Arts Center (Cincinnati,\nUSA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
