Fabien Zocco (France, 1980) graduated from Le Fresnoy-National Studio for Contemporary Arts (2016, jury honors).His artistic approach evolves towards sculptural research combining multiple materialities (glass, porcelain, etc.) and digital creation processes. His works, in turn summoning history, philosophy, literature or science as plural sources of inspiration, seek to explore the boundaries between the living and the inert, the human and the non-human. He had exhibitions in France (Biennale NEMO, Le 104-Paris, La Gaité Lyrique, Le Fresnoy, FRAC Poitou-Charentes, FID Marseille…), in Germany (ZKM Karlsruhe, GEH8 Dresden), in Russia (MAM Moscow), in Ukraine (Dovzhenko Center Kyiv, Tetramatyka Lviv), in China (Pearl Art Museum Shanghai), in Mexico (French Institute Mexico), in Canada (UQTR Trois-Rivières), in Poland (AIR Wroclaw), in Belgium (NTAA Biennale Ghent, Royal Museum of Mariemont Morlanwelz) and in Italy (Spazio IN SITU Rome, LALD Polignano a Mare). Public collections : FRAC-Artothèque Nouvelle-Aquitaine, FRAC Poitou-Charentes, Ville de Lille. « Each work by Fabien Zocco is the resolution of an equation posed by him whose terms relate to techne, artifice, simulacrum, automatism, exhaustion… Whether sculptural, visual or multimedia, the work given as a solution often seems to come from the empowerment of a system. The forms thus coldly generated play on the artist's assumed distancing and place the viewer in a solitary state of heightened perception of his own humanity. » Alexandre Bohn, director of FRAC Poitou-Charentes (2007-2023).
