Photo/Expanded Media Instructor Christopher Cogan new video work at the Biennale d’Art Aix-en-Provence, France

Christopher Cogan will show his recent single-channel video work “Extraction” in France during the Biennale d’Art et Culture d’Aix-en-Provence on March 26th.

The work will be hosted by Provence Art Contemporain [PAC], an association dedicated to the dissemination and promotion of contemporary art to the public. Over the years, PAC has become the largest territorial network of contemporary art structures in France.

About the Biennale d’Aix-en-Provence:

After two years of pandemic, Aix-en-Provence is launching its biennial of art and culture on March 26, 2022. “This event, called “A Fifth Season”, was born from the suffering of the pandemic where cultural actors no longer had an audience and had difficulty creating”, detailed Sophie Joissains, UDI mayor of Aix-en-Provence, during a press conference March 1st. 
The biennial will be divided into four periods following the rhythm of the seasons. March 26 opens the “Spring Season”, and the public will be able to stroll through the different districts of the city that will take them from the heights of Aix-en-Provence to Jas-de-Bouffan via the historic center and the cultural forum, without forgetting the Sainte-Victoire mountain. On the program in particular are several contemporary art installations and a choreography by Angelin Preljocaj around the philosopher Gilles Deleuze.
