Marie Cool (b.1961) and Fabio Balducci (b.1964) have been working together since 1995. Their practice reproduces actions on everyday objects and material in extremely elemental form; in doing so, they reach the possibility of reconstructing our interaction and perception of time and space.

habitat extends its invitation to Cool Balducci because of the revolutionary potential within these indefatigable gestures.


Marie Cool Fabio Balducci’s work has been shown in numerous solo exhibitions, recent include P420 (Bologna, 2024); Musée cantonal des Beaux-Arts (Lausanne, 2022); South London Gallery (London, 2009); Site Gallery (Sheffield, 2008); MUDAM – Musée d’Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean (Luxembourg, 2007–08); Attitudes (Geneva); Catherine Bastide Gallery (Brussels); FRAC Lorraine (Metz, 2012–13); and Centre d’Art Contemporain – La Synagogue de Delme (Delme, 2012–13).
