FIAC

Laurent Tixador

Born in 1965 in Colmar, Laurent Tixador lives and works in Nantes. An "art adventurer", his projects have a utopian intention: he aims to achieve the impossible while maintaining the absolute conviction that it is in no way useful. His actions are often extreme; for example the multiple expeditions he made to Greenland before becoming the first artist to reach the North Pole...
For FIAC 2009, Laurent Tixador has created "Jumping Beans": an elevated wooden structure where he will live for the duration of the exhibition. The structure will move as he moves, much like the worms that live in the Mexican jumping beans.
