Simona Denicolai and Ivo Provoost were born respectively in 1972 and 1974. They currently live in Brussels.
Working as a duo since the mid-1990s, Denicolai & Provoost have developed an artistic practice that seeks to poeticize everyday situations. Most of their projects are conceived in a specific context, which they explore and reconfigure by means of scenarios and protocols involving objects, people, communities, animals, natural environments, and other entities.
Although the works eventually take the form of installations, videos, drawings, publications, they are not considered as an end, but rather as a dynamic situation, one that triggers encounters and collaborations, revives memories, questions social preconceptions, and raises awareness on neglected realities.
Denicolai & Provoost represented Belgium at the 2024 Venice Biennale through the collective project "Petticoat Governement".
They are represented by LMNO Gallery (Brussels).
