A french artist, Jeanne Tara studied visual art at the Haute École d’Art et Design de Genève (HEAD) then art practice at the École de Recherche Graphique in Brussels. Originally, she focused on painting and drawing but she also practices sculpture and spatial installation.
Before devoting herself to the visual arts, Jeanne Tara trained in classical and contemporary dance. These years of dancing marked her relationship with the body and gestures. In her artistic practice, she questions spectators through immersive installations in which visitors can wander, all in a research on the body and the territory. How does the nature of a place influence bodies? How do we interact with objects in our environment?
In 2015, Jeanne Tara was awarded the Caran-d’Ache Prize. She continues to evolve and highlight her work thanks to numerous residencies, notably at RITA residenzia in Turbigo in Italy, at La Chaux de Fonds in Switzerland or even in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea with the sailboat Bise Noire.
