Pierre-Alexandre Mateos
(*1989, Toulouse),
and Charles Teyssou
(*1988, Paris)
Pierre-Alexandre Mateos and Charles Teyssou are two independent curators and writers based in Paris; recently active with an explorative exhibition at Stockholms ArkDes as part of collective “Cruising Pavillion”. They are regular contributors to several magazines.
For the exhibition "Babyfather", they displayed an ongoing collaboration with The Opioid Crisis Lookbook; a mysterious online “magazine” investigating the opioid crisis in the USA and internationally.
Acting as the ghost-writer of the crisis, it explores this phenomenon through mainstream culture, absurd anti-drug slogans and pharmaceutic merchandizing with a deadpan humour and a harsh social realism.
