Born in 1988, Gaëlle Cognée graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Lyon and the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts de Paris-Cergy. Recognized for favoring her practice in collaborative projects, in 2009 she initiated the exhibition “Plafond”, which focused on in situ creation. A contextual approach to place which is reflected in his personal work, mainly focused on video, photography, writing and performance. To create, the artist draws inspiration from places where he is not expected. She is inspired by the stories of these places and History, through different forms of storytelling.
Gaëlle Cognée was in residence at the FRAC in 2021. There, she worked on a video project there which highlighted the myth of Joan of Arc. The project is based on collaborative work through existing or fantasized stories of the history of Joan of Arc with the aim of offering a non-linear and non-chronological version of her story.
In parallel with the Art en Chapelle biennial, in 2024 she will hold the second personal exhibition of her career, at 19 CRAC in Montbéliard.
