Biographie
Tom Friedman est né en 1965 à Saint-Louis, dans l’état du Missouri, aux états-Unis. Après avoir décroché un diplôme en illustration graphique à l’Université de Washington de Saint- Louis, Tom s’est lancé dans un Master en Beaux-arts à l’Université de l’Illinois, à Chicago. Il réside dans l’ouest du Massachusetts, dans une bâtisse entourée de forêts avec vue sur un lac, où vivent aussi sa femme Mary, ses trois enfants, un chien et de nombreuses œuvres d’art. Dans ce lieu privé, au calme, en pleine nature, il compose de la musique, écrit des livres, et cultive son jardin, avec le même souci de pureté et d’authenticité, qui confère à ses œuvres un attrait absolument unique.
Présentation
"Pour moi, l'art est à son sommet lorsque l'objet artistique nous aide à naviguer au sein de cette brume complexe, comme un phare lumineux. Ce que je trouve de tellement intéressant dans le contexte artistique et qui n'existe dans aucun autre champ de recherche, c'est qu'il inclut tout. Il est à l'intersection de tous les champs de recherche : science spiritualité, psychologie, philosophie ..." Tom Friedman.
Tom Friedman travaille sur le quotidien, le petit, l'insignifiant. Paquets de corn-flakes (Untitled, 1999), chewing-gums (Untitled, 1990), savons (Untitled, 1990), papiers toilette (Untitled, 1989), crayons (Untitled, 1998), pailles (Untitled, 1997), sucres (Untitled, 1999) sont quelques-uns de ses matériaux de base (remarquez que les titres sont là pour vous aider à mieux visualiser les œuvres....). Rien de bien exceptionnel. Tout est à portée de main. Des consommables consommés que l'on croise chaque jour, que l'on utilise même. Presque assez simples pour que nos décorateurs télévisuels puissent reproduire ces mêmes pièces.
Seulement voilà, la différence, c'est ce qu'il en fait. Attention, il n'est pas « artiste de cirque » ni « artiste de rue » capable de créer un Balloon Dog (le faux, pas celui de Koons) en moins de deux. Il est plutôt dans la droite lignée des Kosuth, Bochner, Lewitt, Beuys ou Cage : il mêle allègrement l'intelligence du Fluxus à la puissance du Conceptuel. Il crée un art où l'idée prime sur la réalisation tout en étant capable de produire des pièces d'une grande force évocatrice, où l'esthétique croit encore en la poésie. Tom Friedman réinvente la vie, tout simplement. Dans ses oeuvres plus récentes, il côtoie les complexités folkloriques de Mike Kelley (Circus, 2006 - Green Demon, 2008) tout en gardant une âme d'enfant turbulent à la Martin Creed (Balloonsonceiling, 2006 - Care Package (manipulated), 2008 - Vomit, 2006). Des copains de jeux, évidemment.

"Le crayon m'obsède depuis des années. Je redécouvre son sens à partir du propre usage que j'en fais. Il est en lien étroit avec ce que je suis, toujours dans ma poche. Puis le crayon se déplace et, d'un outil dans ma main, il devient un élément objectif sur le mur que je peux envisager. C'est une relation dialectique : l'expérimenter dans sa dualité - moi et l'objet, là au-dehors, puis de nouveau nous deux ensemble, dans l'acte de produire quelque chose, une seule et même manifestation, juste être, juste faire - où donc le crayon et où l'artiste Tom Friedman commencent-ils et finissent-ils ?"
