Dominique Piveteaud

Dominique PIVETEAUD is a sculptor, born in Paris in 1959, who lives and works in Berlin.

He meets other artists during residencies, within collectives and he learns from the contact with other artists. Author of numerous publications at the École des Loisirs, his writings addrsess the issue of the teaching of literature.

This reflection on the relationship to the literary work and more widely to culture is echoed in the questions that cross his artistic practice; Bernard Charlot's comments are very appropriate for the artist's practice, as he defines the human condition as "the entry in a world where the human exists in the form of other humans and of everything that men have built before."

Through this way of thinking about humans, he belongs to the social space and he draws his inspiration, very naturally, from the urban space.
