Annaïk Lou Pitteloud, born in Lausanne, CH, in 1980, lives and works in Antwerp, BE and currently works as a research assistant in the department of Fine Arts at Bern University of the Arts.

Her work makes use of different media to direct the viewer's attention to the invisible components of image-construction, the museum space and the creative process itself. Pitteloud's pared-down vocabulary raises critical questions to do with social issues, while challenging the art world's mechanisms and its codes of perception, transmission and presentation.

From 2002 to 2005, studies at Bern University of the Arts (BUA), CH.

From 2010 to 2011, follows a residency at the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten, Amsterdam, NL.

Her work has been presented amongst others in Musée cantonal des Beaux-Arts Lausanne (2016), Kunstmuseum St. Gallen (2015), Museo cantonale d’Arte Lugano (2014), Kunsthalle Bern (2013), Witte de With Rotterdam (2012), Moscow Biennale (2012), Shanghai Biennale (2012), and has been rewarded by different prizes (Swiss Art Awards 2006 and 2007, Prix culturel Vaudois 2008, Prix culturel Manor Vaud 2016).

In the framework of Extra Academy, Pitteloud will present a set of three exhibitions that took place in the Museo cantonale d’Arte Lugano, the Kunstmuseum St. Gallen, and the Musée cantonal des Beaux-Arts Lausanne between 2014 and 2016.

Departing from autonomous artworks to end up in the architecture of these different exhibitions, the talk will focus on considering the exhibition floor plan as a scenario.
