Born in 1986 in Alès, France, Mimosa Echard lives and works in Paris. Her practice draws on research in biology, the history of experimental cinema and her backstory to create works at the intersection of sexuality, perception and artifice. Working in various formats, from sculpture to installations via video games, Mimosa is guided by continual and contradictory processes of absorption, accumulation and movement, observed in contexts as diverse as popular cultures, metabolic systems, or electromagnetic phenomena.
Mimosa Echard's work has been shown at solo and group exhibitions at international institutions, such as Lafayette Anticipations, Paris (2024, 2016, 2014), Centre Pompidou, Paris (2022), Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2022, 2017, 2012); Collection Lambert, Avignon (2021); Paris Museum of Modern Art (2021, 2019).
Mimosa Echard was awarded the 2022 Marcel Duchamp prize. The first monograph devoted to the artist's work will be published in late 2024. She is represented by Galerie Chantal Crousel in Paris, and Martina Simeti in Milan.
