MARTINE BEDIN
Martine Bedin is known as one of the founders of the avant-garde Memphis group in Milano, in 1981, with Ettore Sottsass. She was born in Bordeaux, in 1957.
‘Taking with her the baggage of her experiences, her notions, her sense of space, her perception of rhythms (...)’, to quote Sottsass concerning her work, Martine Bedin has set about producing works at the polar opposite of design, with the question of function and industrial production here being shifted.
Her works have been shown in numerous museums and are included in various institutionnal collections, including Centre Pompidou, Paris (FR); Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris (FR); Musée des Arts décoratifs et du Design, Bordeaux (FR); Frac Nouvelle-Aquitaine MÉCA (FR), amongst others.
