Michèle Boulogne (she/her b. Martinique, FR) is an artist and textile designer based between Amsterdam and Martinique.
Her research questions the cultural and social context around the imagination of space exploration and is at the crossroads of visual arts and textile experiments.
Michèle regularly subverts geographic representation tools such as maps, remote sensing imagery or historical texts and questions the influence of these instruments in the cultural imagination of the environment. These translations often take the form of visual collages, mixing mediums of industrial and artisanal textiles (woven, knits and dyes). In 2023, the artist began an inquiry on the history of the Caribbean archipelago to inform current challenges coming with space being considered a “New frontier” for humanity, industry and culture.
She recently participated in the More-than-Planet project in collaboration with Stichting Waag Society (NL), Amsterdam presented at Ars Electronica (AT). Her work has been exhibited at the Shanghai FosunFoundation (CH), ZKM at Paris Goethe Institute, and Dutch Design Week (NL). She is based in the Netherlands. Curriculum Vitae upon request.
