Born in 1952 in Toulouse (France), he lives in Paris.
Jean-Marc Bustamante's biography is closely linked with the city of Toulouse, where he was born, and spent the first twenty years of his life.
For le Printemps de septembre, the artist embarks on a homecoming to this citythat is at once metaphorical and real, with the intention of conducting an "in-depth quest involving neither morality nor spectacle". After being chosen to represent France at the Venice Biennale in 2003, this specific commision made by the city of Toulouse will surely mark the start of a period of busy creative and professional activity for this artist, on a national and international scale.
