MATHIS COLLINS
Mathis Collins is a French-Canadian sculptor and performer who organizes collective workshops and public events around popular and grotesque objects and craft practices. The collective creations that emerge attempt to reinvent, through the absurd, the modes of display of popular art.
The subjects and materials explored in Mathis Collins’ work range from cork oak harvesting to the ornamentation of a liquor bottle, from coffee tables to clown shoes, from art schools to the Poulbots of Paris, from Second Empire caricatures to contemporary experimental art education methodologies.
Mathis Collins studied art in Cergy, Metz, Montreal and Brussels before attending Open School East in London. His work has been exhibited at the Palais de Tokyo, Paris(FR), Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris(FR), Friche Belle de Mai, Marseilles(FR), Riijksakademie Amsterdam (NL), 1m3 Lausanne (CH) and Longtang Zürich (CH).
