Marie Hazard’s medium is weaving and textile printing. Hazard (b. 1994, France) is based in Paris. She has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions internationally including: Mobilier National & Institut Français d’Amérique Latine, Mexico City (2024); Villa Belleville (Paris, 2023) ; Galeria Mascota, Mexico City (2022); Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, Tokyo (2019). Hazard was awarded the Clothworkers Material Fund Prize in 2017.
In 2024, Hazard will participate in the Albers Foundation’s Thread residency in Senegal. Hazard likes to combine ancestral techniques (such as plain weave) and industrial textile techniques (such as digital print with the heat press). She weaves a wordless language with threads of paper, hemp, linen, polyester, mohair, and pearls. Nevertheless, Hazard believes that her work is characterized by a diversity that goes beyond the techniques and tools. Her works transcribe flows through the woven line, the folds, the cut-outs, the assemblages, and the partial use of screen printing with Boro Boro or the assemblage of Mexican kitchen tablecloths. Her work reflect elements such as spirals, decontextualized photographs of urban elements, abstract paintings of her memories, the poetry she writes, and her assemblages. In 2022, she co-founded the Potyra project with Sophie de Mello Franco to support the
construction of a youth art center in Serra Grande (Bahia, Brazil). Today, Hazard is collaborating with different curators and art historians such as Bianca A.Manu, independent curator associated with Serpentine Galleries ; Marie Perennes, artistic director at Saint Louis Hermès ; Olivier Berggruen.
Her debut monograph was published by Zolo Press in 2022.
