Marie Vandooren

Born in 1976 in Chateaurenard (Bouches-du-Rhône), I live and work in Moisdon la Rivière (Loire-Atlantique).

After a BAC plastic arts at the experimental high school of Saint-Nazaire, I enroll in History of Art and archeology at the Faculties of Nantes. Very quickly attracted by artistic collective places, I joined Usure from 1998 to 2000, artist workshop in Nantes.

Then in 2000 after having worked in an integration association in Marseille, I turned to social work. I will then support homeless people and a reflection around the urban space will emerge.

Between 2009 and 2014 I took part again in a collective and artistic project in Nantes: the Ateliers de Bitche, an alternative venue and space for creation. I occupy a workshop there and participate in the organization of the various exhibition proposals.

Since 2014 I have been working in Moisdon la Rivière and practicing screen printing in a shared workshop in Pol'n, an associative place in Nantes.
