THÉO MERCIER

Théo Mercier is part of the group exhibition project Artists, Heritage and the Museum, curated by Marta Jecu and Sofia Marçal and with the support of Casado Santapau Gallery.

In the context of a recent preoccupation with extra-European heritage, the history of scientific museology and the colonial and postcolonial thought associated with it, the institution museum and the way in which it frames history, have been intensely scrutinized. The project analyzes museums as a means of viewing heritage through the lens of contemporary art: beyond the institution itself, the museum represents a medium for communicating information. The project is a reflection on the question of heritage – personal, global, collective – and aims to think about this question with a multidisciplinary and dynamic methodology.
