Biography
The artistic practice of Louise Hervé and Clovis Maillet centres on the act of narration. Their stories bring together historical facts, fiction and new realities and take the form of films, installations and performative conferences: a mixture of lecture, performance and conference. Their mode of operation combines scientific discourse with personal comments and is described as an archaeology of knowledge. They were born in 1981 and have been working together in Paris since 2000. They founded I.I.I.I. (International Institute for Important Items) in 2001. The Contemporary Art Gallery in Vancouver (CAN), the Synagogue de Delme (FR), FRAC Champagne Ardenne (FR), Kunstverein Braunschweig (DE), Kunsthal Aarhus (DK) and Crédac-contemporary art center in Ivry-sur-Seine, have organized solo presentations of their work.
