RTS is excited to welcome artist in residence, Louise Porte. Louise is at RTS as part of an exchange with Artistes en Residence, an artist residency program in Clermont-Ferrand, France. This summer, we sent RTS member, Sam Vernon, to Artistes en Residence for a month and a half, and now we are hosting Louise at RTS! Housing for Louise is provided by our partners at 2727 California.
Louise Porte is a French artist graduate of the Clermont-Ferrand school of Fines Arts (MFA), in Clermont-Ferrand. She lives and works between Lyon and Paris. Her work includes plastic and scenic arts, using video, photography, installation, drawing and performance. She explores the boundary between reality and fiction, transposing the everyday to create new situations. Landscapes are like theatre stages, gestures like dance, wondering if something happened or is in latency.
