Prune Nourry is a French multidisciplinary artist currently working at the Invisible Dog Art Center in Brooklyn, NY.[1]

Specialized in sculpture, she also explores a multitude of media notably through installations that include photography, film and performance.

Prune works on topics ranging from bioethics to women's rights and gender. She brings attention to some of the preoccupying issues that arise from fast-growing scientific discoveries such as sex selection, artificial procreation, and genetic engineering.[2]

Biography

Nourry was born in Paris, France in 1985. She received a degree in wood sculpture from the École Boulle in Paris, and began her career as independent multidisciplinary artist at the end of her final year at the school. She has been an artist-in-residence at the Invisible Dog Art Center in Brooklyn, NY since 2011.

She is married to the artist JR.[3][4]

In 2016, at age 31, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and by 2019 had undergone a mastectomy.[5] She made a non-fiction film about these experiences called Serendipity.[6] As of 2018, she was in remission.[7]
