Chloé Delarue

Chloé Delarue (1986) lives and works in Geneva, Switzerland. She produces installations (sculpture, video and sound) under the TAFAA acronym, standing for Toward A Fully Automated Appearance, a combination of several installations, which the artist calls “environments”. These environments are elements of the re-composition of a more or less abstract body. Once these elements overlap, they create a sort of spectrum, a material and immaterial flow of information. After a first MAMA degree in 2012 from Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Art – Villa Arson in Nice, she continued her studies at HEAD-Genève in the Fine Arts Master in 2014.

She exhibited her works in solo shows especially in Musée des Beaux-Arts de la Chaux-de-Fonds (ch) (2019), à la Salle de Bains, Lyon (fr) (2019), Kunsthaus Langenthal (ch) (2019), Urgent Paradise, Lausanne (ch) (2017), Palais de l’Athénée, Genève (ch) (2016).
