Mathieu Copeland (1977, lives in London) has been developing a practice seeking to subvert the traditional role of exhibitions and to renew our perception of these. Amongst many others, he cocurated the exhibition "Voids, a Retrospective" at the Centre Pompidou-Paris, and the Kunsthalle-Bern, and edited the anthology "VOIDS". He curated "A Choreographed Exhibition" at the Kunsthalle-St Gallen & La Ferme du Buisson "Soundtrack for an Exhibition, "Alan Vega" and "Gustav Metzger" at the Musée d'Art Contemporain-Lyon or again "A Mental Mandala" at MUAC-Mexico City. He initiated and curated the series "A Spoken Words Exhibitions", "Reprise" and "The Exhibition to Hear Read" presented in 2013 at MoMA-New York.

In 2012-2013 he was the invited curator at the Jeu de Paume, Paris, and together with Philippe Decrauzat was the guest-curator at Le Plateau, FRAC Ile-de-France, Paris, 2014-2015.

He recently the critically acclaimed anthology and manifest publication "Choregraphed Exhibitions" (Les Presses du Réel, 2013) and realized "The Exhibition of a Film" - an exhibition as a feature film for cinemas.
