Manuel Mathieu awarded the Art Explora - Cité internationale des arts residency programme
Manuel Mathieu is one of eight artists to be awarded a six-month residency in Paris, as part of the Art Explora - Cité internationale des arts residency programme.
Mathieu’s residency project will focus on the development of Recueil2, his second recueil of drawings, to be released in 2023. Drawing is an important part of his practice; while not foundational to his painting process, drawing “taught him how to look at his paintings”. It is for this reason that he committed to the production of a recueil of drawings every five years for the duration of his life, which will summarise his artistic explorations within the medium of drawing within each period.
Recueil2 will follow the same format as the first, opening with a poem, following with a selection of drawings and then an interview with a thinker. The individuals invited for collaboration will be chosen from different continents, with the idea that this exchange of views will create a unique dialogue that will act as a complement to the body of drawings.
