CV&BIO / PRESS / ARTIST’S STATEMENT / CONTACT
Paris based artists, Denis & Anne have shown in the Pompidou Centre, the Barbican and the Tate Modern. Their work involves collaborations with scientists, artists and the public, taking many forms but focusing always on the act of looking, a conversation with the eye of the beholder. Since 2017 they have been practicing under the name “The School of Looking” to reflect this overarching programme of their work.

Visit the site of Cleary Connolly’s multi-disciplinary exploration of the art and science of looking:
an ambitious award winning art practice, currently working on the Eco Showboat to spark climate action.
Our first video work, Touchy was part of a long series of subversive performances that we made during the 1990s. Old enough to be interesting again…
