Marie Matusz (b. 1994, Toulouse) lives and works in Basel.

Marie Matusz’s practice spans sculptural installations, sound, writing, and film, exploring the intricate relationships between materiality, memory, and narrative. Drawing from philosophical, sociological, and linguistic theories, her works evoke a cinematic sensibility—merging stillness and motion to create reflective spaces where past and future converge. By layering materials and choreographing spatial encounters, Matusz invites audiences to experience the fragile interplay of perception, time, and the vulnerability inherent in meaning-making.

After studying at the Haute Ecole d’Art et de Design, HEAD, in Geneva, where she obtained a Bachelor in Fine Arts in 2016, Matusz continued her studies at the Art Institute HGK FHNW in Basel from 2016 to 2018, graduating in 2018 with a Master in Fine Arts. In 2018 she was awarded the Kiefer Hablitzel | Göhner Art Prize and at the Swiss Art Awards in 2021. In 2020 she was nominated for the Dorothea von Stetten Art Award and exhibited her work at the Kunstmuseum Bonn alongside the other two finalists.

Her work has been exhibited internationally in galleries and institutions such as: Kusthalle Basel, Swiss Institute, Milan; Blue Velvet, Zurich; Clima, Milan; Jan Kaps, Koln; Kunstmuseum Bonn, Bonn; Kunsthalle Basel, Basel; Galerie Maria Bernheim, Zurich; Kunsthalle Fri Art, Fribourg among others.
