Description
Artiste autodidacte, Mathieu Beauséjour crée des installations, des interventions et des images depuis le milieu des années 1990. Par une position de résistance et de détournement, il cherche à subvertir les matériaux et les concepts de pouvoir, d’aliénation et d’oppression. Sa production pose un regard à la fois ironique et nostalgique sur les avant-gardes politiques et artistiques, et use d’emblèmes culturels comme la monnaie, les hymnes et les manifestes, dans le but d’examiner l’état actuel des choses. Son travail contextuel est conçu spécifiquement pour l’espace qu’il occupe, que ce soit une galerie, un site d’intervention, une page imprimée ou un temps d’action.
