Ann Veronica Janssens, Michel François

Since meeting in 1985, Ann Veronica Janssens (b. 1956, Folkestone, United Kingdom) and Michel François (b. 1956, Sint-Truiden, Belgium) have orbited each other, drawing close at times, and growing distant, even estranged, at others. Ann Veronica Janssens, Michel François stages an intimate dialogue between their work, tracing the “muted liaisons and subtle tensions,” as writes Palais de Tokyo director Guillaume Désanges, which course below the surface of two remarkably distinct oeuvres. In addition to one-hundred-sixty artworks, this landmark publication gathers an extensive collection of research and personal photographs across four decades of practice.
