Charlotte Houette

Charlotte Houette was in residence at LUMA Arles from spring to summer 2021.

Charlotte Houette was born in France, in 1983. She lives and works in Paris.Charlotte Houette studied at the beaux-arts de Paris and at the Art Center College of design in Pasadena. Her work as a painter integrates several techniques, such as printing, transfer, construction and sculpture. Prefabricated elements, such as windows or doors evoking the cut-out facades of simplistic model houses, are recurrently integrated into the paintings, placing them halfway between abstract painting and the ready-made.
In 2015, she co-founded The Cheapest University, an experimental school that organises workshops, residencies and lectures. Within this project, she created the journal EEAPES, which is based on collective readings and translations of feminist science fiction.
