ART AS ARTIFACT | Established between Paris and Los Angeles, Keariene Muizz is a being who needs proof. Evaluating cultural objects through the lens of the psychoanalytic process. The vulnerable and exposed architectural landscape of Paris is the site for her work. She considers the sculptures as the secret citizens of Paris. The methods of her systematic investigation occurs when physically installed throughout the arrondissements where she experiments with the psychological interplay of stimulus and subconscious imagined affects of iconography. Her artistic practice is built on The Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud, research conducted at the Bibliotheque Nationale de France.
Keariene Muizz attended La Sorbonne and holds a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies in Art & Analysis, combining art, psychology and computer science from California State University of Long Beach. Post educational studies were also conducted informally in nude drawing at the Otis College of Art & Design under Laddie John Dill.
