[ENG]
Melik Ohanian was born in France in 1969. He lives and works in Paris and New York. His work has been shown in many solo exhibitions including: Galerie Chantal Crousel and Palais de Tokyo in Paris, South London Gallery in London, De Appel in Amsterdam, IAC in Villeurbanne, Yvon Lambert in New York, Museum in Progress in Vienna, and Matucana 100 in Santiago de Chile. He has also taken part in a large number of group exhibitions around the world, in particular the Sao Paulo biennial (representing France), the Berlin and Sydney biennials in 2004, the Moscow and Lyon biennials in 2005 and the Gwangju and Seville biennials in 2006. Most recently his work was on display at the 52nd edition of the Venice Biennial in 2007.
Melik Ohanian’s work can be understood in terms of physical and conceptual territories that focus on the concept of time. Drawing on research and scientific and philosophical methodology he has developed a body of work that uses a wide range of mediums. His installations examine the operative mode of the exhibition and extend beyond the usual boundaries of images, in their spatial and temporal dimensions. By placing the viewer in an exploratory role, the artist highlights the complexity of temporal intervals, which, in more or less obvious ways, govern our relationship to the world and others.

Melik Ohanian est né en France en 1969. Il vit et travaille entre Paris et New York. Il a montré son travail lors de plusieurs expositions personnelles : Galerie Chantal Crousel et Palais de Tokyo à Paris, South London Gallery à Londres, De Appel à Amsterdam, IAC à Villeurbanne, Yvon Lambert à New York, Museum in Progress à Vienne, Matucana 100 à Santiago du Chili. Il a également participé à de nombreuses expositions collectives dans le monde et en particulier aux Biennales de Sao Paulo (représentation française), Berlin et Sydney en 2004, aux Biennales de Moscou et de Lyon en 2005, aux Biennales de Gwangju et de Séville en 2006, et plus récemment à la 52e Biennale de Venise en 2007.
Le travail de Melik Ohanian s’entend en terme de territoires physiques et conceptuels dont le point central serait la notion de temps. Nourrie de recherches, de méthodes scientifiques et de philosophie, son œuvre se développe au travers d’une multiplicité de médiums. Les dispositifs réalisés interrogent les modes de représentation de l’exposition et dépassent les cadres habituels de l’image dans ses dimensions spatiales et temporelles. Plaçant le visiteur dans un état d’exploration, l’artiste met à jour la complexité des écarts qui, de manière plus ou moins évidente, régissent nos rapports au monde et à autrui.
