Born in 1985 in Barbezieux (France). He lives and works in Rennes (France).
Thomas Tudoux is deeply concerned with social issues, and makes them the subject of his work, often turning to collaborative practices involving the participation of citizens.
“Thomas Tudoux is a young artist whose practice offers a critical and scathing approach to the voluntary servitudes in which we hold ourselves on a daily basis, aided by our technical tools. He sets up absurd evaluation procedures to ward them off, attacking the mechanisms of action with Sisyphean perseverance, perhaps out of fear of inaction, or on the contrary of misplaced or pointless activism. His lists, series of notes and instructions are all points of reference to hold on to in the face of the threat of chaos and the total loss of meaning and values, in the face of the uncertainty of what is to come.
Thomas Tudoux’s approach combines a certain simplicity, the prosaic nature of everyday life and its neuroses, with a relevance that is in tune with the period of general disorientation we are experiencing. It questions the need to remain in action, in doing, without any moralism and without giving us any answers as to what we must do to survive and rediscover meaning in our lives”, extract from Cnap.
