• Stéphanie Saadé More
  Stéphanie Saadé was born in 1983 in Lebanon, she lives between Beirut, Paris and Amsterdam. Her work develops a language of suggestion, playing with poetics and metaphor. She shares clues, signs, imageless and occasionally silent trails with us, which interact like the words of a single sentence. It is for the viewer to decipher them, as would an archaeologist faced with traces, fossils, and fragments. This enigmatic quality often stems from the artist’s own experience. In her oeuvre, personal experience is invoked exclusively as a universal subject. Saadé graduated in Fine Arts from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, Paris and attended a post-graduate program at the China Academy of Arts, Hangzhou. She was an artist in residence at Jan van Eyck Academie, Maastricht (2014-15) and the Cité Internationale des Arts, Paris (2015) as well as the 2018-19 recipient of the AFK’s 3Package Deal (Amsterdam). She had solo exhibitions in Museum Van Loon (Amsterdam), Parc Saint Léger (Pougues-les-Eaux) and Maison Salvan (Labège) and a duo exhibition at Marres (Maastricht). Her work was also shown collectively at Punta della Dogana (Venice), MOCA (Toronto), MUCEM (Marseille), MAXXI (Rome), MuHKA (Antwerp), Jameels Art Center (Dubai), Sharjah Biennale 13, Les Abattoirs (Toulouse), La Criée (Rennes), Kunsthaus Pasquart (Biel), SALTS (Birsfelden), National Gallery of Iceland (Reykjavík), Oslo Kunstforening, Ystad Konstmuseum, Hessel Museum of Art, CCS Bard (New York), Home Works 7 (Beirut), Beirut Art Center.
