Thierry Fournier

Thierry Fournier (born 1960 in Lyon) is an artist, curator and author. An architect by training, he is a graduate of the École nationale supérieure d'architecture de Lyon. His practice addresses issues of otherness, co-presence and sociality, using a wide range of media, often digital: installations, networked works, photographies, films, drawings... His approach as a curator explores similar issues on a collective scale. His work is regularly exhibited in France and abroad. He lives and works in the Perche region.
As an author, Thierry Fournier has written about numerous international artists and exhibitions. He is also artistic director and co-coordinator of antiAtlas Journal, an online journal which deals with contemporary issues and forms of borders. He is also an art teacher. After co-directing several curatorial research groups (ENSAD, Ensad Nancy), he now runs the contemporary art workshop The Exercice of Gaze at Sciences Po Paris.
A campaigner for fairer working conditions for art workers, in 2014 he co-founded and then co-hosted the group Économie Solidaire de l'Art [a French equivalent of Paying Artists group] until 2019. In 2024, he co-conceived a similar project within Hacnum, the French national network for digital arts.
