Célia Gondol

Célia Gondol (b. Grenoble, 1985) is a professional dancer and visual artist. She graduated from the Beaux-Arts in Paris in 2014, with a special jury mention, and has subsequently developed her installation – and performance – based practice, using light and (more recently) sound, with a particular focus on gesture. Gondol’s sculptural practice explores the musicality and folkloric origins of the elements she deploys. Her pieces are conceived as part of an open-ended, experimental process. Gondol has taken part in a number of group exhibitions including the 62nd Salon de Montrouge (2017), Do Disturb at Palais de Tokyo (Paris, 2017), and Les Voyageurs at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts (Paris, 2015). Gondol’s work also featured in a number of solo exhibitions at the Centre chorégraphique national in Orléans (2012), the PSG Gallery in Bangkok (2013), and the studio of painter Ann Veronica Janssens (her diploma show, 2014). Paralleling her work in the visual arts, Célia Gondol has danced with several companies since 2006.
