Marion Laval-Jeantet & Benoît Mangin
Duo formed in 1991 in Paris
Marion Laval-Jeantet and Benoît Mangin came together in 1991 to form Art Orienté Objet. In a collaboration that resembles that between a playwright and a stage director who are in constant dialogue (we can see them as artist and “artistic-output-director”), they are fascinated by the sciences of life in general and of behavior in particular–from ethology to trans-cultural psychiatry.
During the last fifteen years, they have put forth several poetic and surprising projects that have resulted from their experimentations and that reveal our behaviors as we face existence and the environment. Their works take on various aesthetic forms (installations, objects, videos, and/or photographs) in which we find a familiar animal presence and a staging of their own existence.

Catalogue of the eponymous exhibition taking place at Topographie de l’art, Paris 3e, from February 8 to April 4, 2020. The works of 17 artists: Art Oriented Object, Joseph Beuys, Tïa-Calli Borlase, Mat Collishaw, Alix Delmas, Jan Fabre, Robert Gligorov, Horst Haack, Joël Hubaut, Joachim Koester, Léa Le Bricomte, Catherine Mainguy, Joanna Malinowska, Maël Nozahic, Agnès Pezeu, Abraham Poincheval and Camille Sabatier. Commissioner: Paul Ardenne.
Today, many artists requisition the figure of the “animal” for their own benefit in order to blend their own human figure into it, as a consensual act of “humanimality”. Convoking animality is also the pars animalis of themselves that they trace back to their work – in the hope that through the animal, more meaning is given to what they are.

Rassemblant une série de travaux inédits et les œuvres emblématiques du duo d’artistes, cette monographie analyse et met en perspective une démarche artistique singulière, radicalement engagée dans le débat écologique, qui interroge la perméabilité entre les règnes et les espèces, explorant un autre type de relation entre l’homme, l’animal et la nature.
Publié à l’occasion de l’exposition personnelle des artistes au musée de la Chasse et de la Nature, Paris, du 22 octobre 2013 au 2 mars 2014.
