Biografie
Resumee
Maëlle Torné works with art in social contexts. She uses her interdisciplinary background to integrate art practices within other practices such as pedagogy, therapeuty, popularization of science, ecology projects or peace building projects. Her artwork consists in paintings, written stories, performances, installations and curating. She works with different materials (video, paint, sculpture, sound, body) and combines them in an intelligible narration.
