Leonore Bonaccini and Xavier Fourt form the Art Group Bureau d’etudes, an art-duo founded in 1998 in Paris. Their work has been producing cartographies of contemporary political, social and economic systems. Their work is based on extensive research and the visual analysis is presented in large sized/scale maps that show for example connections between transnational groups, Think tanks and finance institutions and media groups,etc. As stated in the project website of spatial agency “In their practice, knowledge becomes inherently political and the question of access to knowledge becomes paramount.”
More recently, they have also presented the results of their research in the form of installations, which invite direct interaction and intervention. ( For example their work ” Producing an Enemy” presented 2012 at the Haus der Kunst in Munich)
Since 2003 there works have been presented at the Generali Foundation in Vienna, the Istanbul International Biennal, the Rennes Biennal of Contemporary Art, the Nottingham Museum of Contemporary Art in London, the Karlsruhe art centre, and the Serralves Foundation in Porto, more recently at the Transmediale 2009 in Berlin, at the Haus der Kunst in Munich in 2012 and in the conference BONDS. Debt, Guilt and other Obligations in 2012 at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin (Thomas Macho).
