ANN GRIM
Ann Grim (born 09.09.1980) is a contemporary artist known for her conceptual, multidisciplinary artwork. She was raised between Buenos Aires, Paris, Cape Town, Montevideo, and London, and currently lives and works between London and Paris.

Grim’s practice explores the possibility of different future outcomes via the materialisation and dematerialisation of human consciousness.

WORK
The complexity of human nature is at the heart of Grim’s work. She is inspired by the socio-economic structures and cycles that shape modern society, and uses each of her artworks as a means of exploring social, cultural, and urban concerns.

Grim’s work is project-based, and in each project she uses her art to explore the inner workings of the modern condition. Her work can be read as both a social criticism and a move towards the development of a new, harmonious relationship between art and society.

Each of Grim’s artworks take form gradually, growing out of different mediums and disciplines such as virtual reality, video, sculpture, installation, paintings, and design. She makes recurrent use of certain materials in her work – burnt wood, cords, and text – creating a sense of aesthetic harmony within her oeuvre.

EXHIBITIONS AND PRESS
Grim’s art is represented in France by Mannerheim Gallery (for visual art) and the Granville Gallery (for design), in Hong Kong by A2Z Art Gallery, and in Miami by the Markowicz Fine Art Gallery.

Her exhibitions often take place in non-traditional art venues, such as the vestibule of the Maison Rouge in the Antoine de Galbert foundation, curated by Aude Quinchon (2014), the mezzanine of the Palais de Tokyo, curated by Isabelle de Marcellus Tournier (2013), the Paris Aquarium, curated by Anthony Phuong (2015), and the Fiat Museum, curated by Jenny Mannerheim (2015). She has also worked on several collaborations with Paris fashion house Each x Other, and had works commissioned by caviar company Boutary (2016) and Make Up For Ever LMVH (2015).

Grim’s work receives regular press attention, appearing in publications such as Beaux Arts Magazine, Art Absolument, Intramuros, le Parisien, L’Officiel des Spectacles, France 3, Sortir à Paris, Le Corridor de l’art, News Art Today, Slash, and Each x Other Magazine.
