Simon Nicaise

The work of Simon Nicaise (born in 1982 in Rouen, lives in Paris) first evolved within the field of sculpture, and extended more recently to performance. Simon Nicaise often diverts daily life objects to transform and load them with tension in order to reveal, among other things, the fragility of the moment and that of their meaning.
Simon Nicaise participated in numerous exhibitions in art institutions and centres in France and abroad (Germany, Belgium, Switzerland), among which the exhibition Seconde Main at the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris in 2010. He won the Jeune Création Prize in 2009 and the Sciences Po Prize for Contemporary Art in 2011.
