Ramuntcho Matta was born in Paris in 1960. He lives and works in Paris and in Epaux-Bézu.
Ramuntcho Matta’s artistic career begins in the late seventies with music. Beyond his work as a composer, he already resorts to the plastic arts in order to formulate his questionings, odd and complex subjects of creation, sometimes using sounds, drawings, videos, space, words or combinations.
Chris Marker tried to characterize his work and found the adjective “multimedium”.
He has often chosen to collaborate and work with many artists such as Don Cherry, Brion Gysin, John Cage or Chris Marker.
He has recorded about twenty solo albums, and as many collective ones.
He has played music and exhibited his works in Paris, New-York, London, Madrid, Barcelona, Tokyo, Rome… He has also participated in many collective exhibitions: at Louis Vuiton space in Paris, at the Art Library in Milano (Italy), at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Valenciennes, at the Musée des Beaux-arts in San Diego, at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, at La Piscine in Roubaix.
Between 2000 and 2021, he collaborated within the sometimeStudio label in the production of forgotten artists or to discover.
In 2008, he starts the project LIZIERES, in the south of Aisne (France), a thinking platform to exchange about cultures and resources, put an end to the isolation of avant-garde players and offer an area of freedom for experimentation.
