Nature et Artifice. A Lecture by Marion Delarue

Artist list

Marion Delarue

Marion Delarue studies at the Ecole Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs de Strasbourg and settles in Paris after attending several artists in residencies in China and South Korea. Her work, which is regularly awarded and exhibited internationally (Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, Bellevue Arts Museum in Washington, Gardiner Museum in Toronto…), plays with the confusion between authenticity and imitation, between nature and artifice, referencing simulacrum, false pretences and lures. The attachment of Marion Delarue to an imagination stemming from ceremonial body adornment is reflected in a constant body-related fascination. In this way, her pieces question unceasingly the very idea of wearability. As part of her artist in residency at the Villa Kujoyama in Kyoto in 2019, Marion Delarue carries out research on the very specific Japanese hair objects (Kushis, Kanzashis and Kogais) and exhibits the outcome of the process at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, on the occasion of the show « An Uncertain Spring, Invitation to Forty Creators » held until October 2021.
