French artist

Annette Messager (born 30 November ) is a French visual artist. She is known for championing the techniques and materials of outsider art.[1] In , she won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Biennale for her artwork at the French Pavilion. In , she won the prestigious Praemium Imperiale International Arts Award.[2] She lives and works in Malakoff, France.[3]

Biography[edit]

Annette Messager was born on 30 November in Berck-sur-Mer, France.[4] Her father was a photographer and amateur painter.[1] Between and , Messager attended the École des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, France.[3] Her mother entered one of her daughter Annette's photographs in a Kodak competition. It won an art trip around the world.[1] Messager and the late artist Christian Boltanski were partners.[5]

Career[edit]

Messager is known mainly for her installation work which often incorporates photographs, prints and drawings, and various materials.[6] Her work rejects traditional methods in visual arts such as painting in favour of bricolage works that combine media and subvert value systems, often making experimental use of methods traditionally designated to a "so-called feminine sensibility."[7] "‘I found my voice as an artist when I stepped on a dead sparrow on a street in Paris in I didn’t know why, but I was sure this sparrow was important because it was something very fragile that was near me and my life," states Messager. The sparrow was soon joined by others and became the sculptured taxidermy exhibit of The Boarders, ("Les Pensionnaires") which launched her career in [8][1]

She has exhibited and published her work extensively.

In , she represented France at the Venice Biennale, where she won the Golden Lion for her Pinocchio-inspired installation that transformed the French pavilion into a casino.[9] Created in and located in Lille, Dessous-dessous ("Upside Down") is a modified version of the piece. It is made up of a crimson silk cloth that reveals glimpses of items that seem remnants of a shipwreck, along with semblances of body parts. This work references migrants’ fatal voyages across the Mediterranean sea.[10]

‘The red fabric is blood and the Mediterranean is full of corpses,’[10]

One of her most famous pieces is her exhibition The Messengers, which showcases an installation of rooms that include a series of photographs and toy-like, hand knit animals in costumes.[5] For example, some of the animals' heads were replaced by heads of other stuffed animals to reflect the ways in which humans disguise themselves or transform their identities with costume.[11]

In , she created an installation titled Les Interdictions: a combination of the puppet motif and a pattern of sixty eight prohibitory signs from around the world. The only sign that was invented by the artist is a sign condemning prostitution.[12]

In , one of her works, Mes voeux (avec nos cheveux), was used as the promotional artwork for the Peter Gabriel song "Playing For Time".

Inspirations[edit]

“Because I was born in France during World War II, I was exposed to death at an early age”[8] Death and the ephemeral nature of living are major sources of inspiration for Messager's works.

While not calling herself a feminist (she says that in France the term means something different than it does elsewhere), Messager has given herself many different titles over the years, portraying herself as Annette Messager the Artist, the Collector, the Trickster, the Peddler, the Cheater, and the Practical Woman.[5] She has used many different, marginalised techniques such as knitting, taxidermy, photography, labels, and toys, and has created soft sculptures and installations.[1] Her art explores how through their small actions, secrets and private rituals, women are still able to be themselves in a world of male privilege.
