Evariste Maïga is a trans-disciplinary artist based in Geneva, working with a broad range of media including video, photography, installation, print, drawing and text.
Taking inspiration from daily encounters, anecdotes and the peripheral, his work explores topics such as inherent potential, visibility, singularity and acting in a broad sense. Simple gestures, performativity and humour tend to influence the aesthetic and the analytical processes that occur in Maïga’s work.
Lately, Maïga has been focusing on issues around food, the origin and circulation of consumer goods, considering food as an object of culture and commerce, as an identity and socio-political object (Stephane Cecconi–FMAC).
Evariste Maïga has exhibited internationally, among others at Centre d'art concemporain – Geneva; Fonds d'art contemporain de la Ville de Genève; The Liverpool Biennale; The Institute of Contemporary Art, London; Bloomberg New Contemporaries; Art Night, London; Off Course Art Fair, Brussels; The 4th Thessaloniki Biennale, Greece; The Cooper Gallery, Scotland.
