What is Bustamante's approach to art?

In the catalogue Emma Dexter wrote: "Bustamante's approach seeks to ex-plore the gaps, ambiguities and correspondences between media, testing the thinness or robustness of the delineation of each medium, aiming always at their redefinition and reinvention." In September 2015, he was appointed director of the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.

Who is Bernard Bazile Bustamante?

From the beginning of the 1980s, Bustamante was merging different media, producing work that straddled photography, sculpture and painting. In 1983 he met the artist Bernard Bazile and began a three-year collaboration during which the pair created conceptual works bearing the joint signature BazileBustamante.
