MARIE-LUCE NADAL French, b. 1984

Marie-Luce Nadal was born in 1984. She trained as an architect and designer, and is a graduate of the Arts Décoratifs de Paris. Her work has been shown in a number of institutions, including the Palais de Tokyo (France), the Musée des Abattoirs de Toulouse (France), the ZKM (Germany), the Fondation Fiminco (France) and the Biennale de Lyon (France).

Marie-Luce Nadal is an artist and researcher who focuses on the impermanence of certain ephemeral and atmospheric materials : cloud, spray, smoke, steam, breath, dust... With these substances, the artist establishes a relationship between scientific research and the unveiling of a poetic and spiritual world. Her cultural references are linked to the land where she grew up, Perpignan, and to ancestral practices inherited by agricultural knowledge from her family tradition.
