Brognon Rollin

Description

David Brognon, born in Messancy (Belgium) in 1978 and Stéphanie Rollin, born in Luxembourg City (Luxembourg) in 1980, live and work in Paris and Luxembourg. Winners of the Best Solo Show at Art Brussels 2013 and 2015 finalists of the Prix Fondation Entreprise Ricard in Paris, Brognon Rollin work with raw, often marginal social material where the recurrent themes are confinement, expectation and control. Their work has been the subject of numerous exhibitions around the world, recently: The Penultimate Version of Reality at the MAC VAL - Musée d'Art Contemporain du Val-de-Marne in 2020 and Maybe Some of Us Will Change This at ICA, LA Institute of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles in 2019. The director of MAMAC in Nice, Hélène Guénin, defines Brognon Rollin as “explorers of the abyss” attentive to the “small epiphanies of life”. With a strange poetry, their universe moves the lines, the gaze, the certainties, like an invitation to a mental journey.

Their works are part of various public collections, including: Le Centre Pompidou, Musée National d’Art Moderne, Paris, France / MAC VAL, Musée d’Art Contemporain du Val de Marne, France / Collection MUDAM, Luxembourg / Centre National des Arts Plastiques (CNAP), France / MAC’S - Grand Hornu, Belgique / FRAC Alsace, FRAC Poitou-Charentes, FRAC Lorraine, France…
