Lucy + Jorge Orta

Lucy Orta (1966, Royaume-Uni) et Jorge Orta (1953, Argentine)

L'œuvre collaborative de Lucy + Jorge Orta explore les sujets sociaux et écologiques à travers une grande variété de supports : sculpture, peinture, photographie, vidéo, dessin, intervention éphémère et performance. Plusieurs séries sont particulièrement emblématiques de leur travail : Refuge Wear Body Architecture, des habitats portatifs minimums à mi-chemin entre architecture et habillement ; HortiRecycling, explore la chaîne alimentaire dans des contextes globaux et locaux, et 70 x 7 The Meal, le rituel ancestral du dîner et son rôle social dans les réseaux communautaires ; Nexus Architecture, imagine des modes opératoires alternatifs pour établir du lien social ; The Gift, une métaphore du cœur et des éthiques biomédicales concernant le don d’organes ; Ortawater Clouds, dont les œuvres portent sur la pénurie d’eau ; Antarctica, qui concerne des problèmes relatifs à l’environnement, la politique, l’autonomie, l’habitat, la mobilité et les relations humaines ; Amazonia, sur la valeur de l’environnement naturel dans nos vies quotidiennes et sur la survie de la planète.

Les œuvres de Lucy + Jorge Orta ont fait l’objet de nombreuses expositions monographiques : La representation d'Argentine à la Biennale de Venise (1995) The Curve, Barbican Art Gallery, Londres (2005) ; Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa, Venise  (2005) ; Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam (2006) ; Bienal del Fin del Mundo, Ushuaia et la Péninsule Antarctique (2007) ; Hangar Bicocca spazio d’arte, Milan (2008) ; Natural History Museum, Londres (2010) ; MAXXI, Rome (2012) ; Yorkshire Sculpture Park (2013) ; Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, Ithaca et le Parc de la Villette, Paris (2014) ; Attenborough Arts Centre, Leicester et City Gallery and Art Museum, Peterborough (2016).

En 2007, les artistes reçoivent le Green Leaf Award  offert par le Programme Environnemental des Nations Unies en partenariat avec le Natural World Museum, au Nobel Peace Center d’Oslo, en Norvège, pour leur excellence artistique et leur message environnemental. En 2013, Lucy + Jorge Orta remportent la commande publique inaugurale commanditée par Terrace Wires pour la gare St Pancras International de Londres, et pour laquelle ils créent Cloud Meteoros, une installation monumentale.

Leurs œuvres se trouvent dans des collections publiques et privées. De nombreux ouvrages monographiques leur ont été consacrés.

Lucy et Jorge Orta fondent le Studio Orta en 1992. Ils travaillent entre Londres, Paris et Les Moulins, centre de recherche artistique créé par les artistes pour revaloriser le patrimoine industriel à travers l’art contemporain. Les Moulins se situe dans la vallée du Grand Morin en Seine-et-Marne sur une étendue de 8 km, comprenant quatre usines historiques : les anciens moulins des Papeteries de Paris, Le Moulin de Boissy et le Moulin Sainte-Marie ; La Laiterie et le Moulin de la Vacherie. Des ateliers et résidences d’artistes sont en cours de réhabilitation, ainsi qu’un parc de sculptures destiné à promouvoir la production et la dissémination d’œuvres expérimentales in-situ.
