Monika Brugger

Bio

After a master's degree in Applied Art under the direction of Pierre Damien Huyghe in 2006, Monika Bruger has been a graduate of EnsAD in Paris since 2016. Monika Brugger now teaches at the jewellery workshop at ENSA Limoges. Whether through her creations or her teaching, as much as through her role as an exhibition curator, she has acquired an international reputation. Her works are notably displayed at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, the Schmuckmuseum in Pforzheim, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, and the Berner Stiftung für Angewandte Kunst in Berne, the V&A Museum in London, and she has been included in the French State Contemporary Art Fund for major pieces.

Statement

The central feature of Monika Brugger's work, to begin with, is not a particular connection between form and substance but rather the idea, the category, and the tradition of language. 
Her art is conceptual, in a certain sense. 
It involves an interrogation of the relationship between the agreed word and the things made.
