“She gleans material culture and the surface of things—compelled by materials and their economies, chemicals and their properties, images and their histories, technologies and their translations, paranoia and its erotic reasonings—for the information of their transformations, that which slowly emerges, corroded or in bloom, in anxiety or in ecstasy, in eros or its advertisements.”
—Quinn Latimer
Mimosa Echard: Lies is the first monograph dedicated to the artist’s work, co-published by Mousse Publishing and Galerie Chantal Crousel. The volume includes previously unpublished texts that invite readers to engage deeply, and from multiple perspectives, with Echard’s practice. Essays by Amelia Groom and Devrim Bayar provide historical, critical, and theoretical insights; Daphné B. contributes a poetic introduction; and a dialogue between Mimosa Echard and Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster enriches the book with an artist-to-artist exchange. The volume also features a reprint of Quinn Latimer’s essay on Echard, originally published on TextWork, the editorial platform of the Fondation Pernod Ricard.
Graphic designer Julie Peeters collaborated closely with Echard on the catalogue’s design. Images accompanying the texts and themes developed by the authors are complemented by a series of photographs from the artist’s personal archives—film-based documentation of her studio and exhibitions, published here for the first time. This opening section offers an intimate perspective on the processes of making and exhibiting. It is followed by a second part, which presents, in an inventory format, the “official” views of the exhibitions in their final form.
