Loris Gréaud

In 2020, after several years of development with the Casa Wabi Foundation, Gréaud will inaugurate a perennial project entitled The Underground Sculpture Park. The artist has chosen some twenty works emblematic of his production, which will be buried for eternity in the gardens of Alberto Kalach, which are an extension of the architecture designed by Tadao Ando.

In 2019, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art hosts the monographic project: Sculpt: Grumpy Bear, the Great Spinoff, as a continuation of its first exhibition at LACMA in 2016.

After acquiring the work MACHINE in 2018, the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris invited Gréaud to design a specific exhibition, as part of the permanent collections, entitled Glorius Read.

In 2017, he attracted the attention of the 57th Venice Biennale with his project The Unplayed Notes Factory in Murano (Italy)

In 2016, he produces the Sculpt project specifically for the LACMA in Los Angeles, his first exhibition on the West Coast of the United States.

With NASA and more specifically the Stennis Space Center, for his film Sculpt and the subsequent spinoff Grumpy Bear, in 2016.

In 2016 with the CENIR of the ICM, again for his film Sculpt.

In 2015, for his project The Unplayed Notes Museum, he became the first artist to take over the entire space of the Dallas Contemporary (USA).

In 2014, he was appointed as a Knight in the Order of Arts and Letters (Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres).

Between 2014 and 2016, with Claude Parent, who also appears, notably in his film Sculpt.

In 2013, he was the first artist to be invited to exhibit jointly by the Louvre and the Pompidou Center in Paris. The double exhibition, Loris Gréaud [I] was free to the public and took place in the museums’ courtyards, purposefully avoiding the usual exhibition spaces of the two institutions.

Although international collectors and museums have made some important acquisitions of his work, Greaud chooses to appear only occasionally in galleries and markets. He has had only one double exhibition in the galleries that represent him. The Unplayed Notes was presented at the Pace Gallery in New York City and then at the Yvon Lambert Gallery in Paris in 2012.

In 2012, with the CNRS for the production of his film The Unplayed Notes.

In 2011-12, with M.I.T. of Boston, and the ANTARES station, as well as with Pr Michel André's LAB for his project The Snorks: a concert for creatures.

Since 2010, the artist has rarely participated in group shows, preferring to concentrate his resources on developing personal projects. The artist sees "the trajectory of the work through time as a sculpture in its own right."

In 2009, with Lee Ranaldo, for the conception of the work Think Loud, then for his film The Unplayed Notes in 2012.

In 2008, he became the first artist to be granted full use of the Palais de Tokyo in Paris for his project Cellar Door. He developed and continued this project at the ICA in London, the Kunsthalle Sankt Gallen (Switzerland), the museum La Conservera de Murcia (Spain) and finally at the Vienna Kunsthalle (Austria), ending at Art Basel alongside the publication of a catalogue by JRP Ringier that charted the entire project.

His first, Silence goes more quickly when played backwards, took place in 2005 at the Plateau/Frac île-de-France (Paris). This was the project that rocketed him onto the international art scene.

Since 2004, with David Lynch, on the occasion of the conception of his work Eye of The Duck, then in 2012 for his project The Snorks: a concert for creatures.
