Julien Creuzet, a visual artist and studio head at the Beaux-Arts de Paris, will represent France at the 60th edition of the Venice Biennale in 2024, the French Institute, organiser of the French Pavilion, has announced.
Proposed by a selection committee chaired by Chiara Parisi, and chosen by the Ministers of Culture Rima Abdul Malak and Europe and Foreign Affairs and Catherine Colonna, the work of the 36-year-old artist is emblematic of the practices and horizons explored by the young generation in France.
The selection committee unanimously chose Julien Creuzet "for his work, in which poetry infuses a plurality of practices with strength and generosity: sculpture, text, video, music, performance, and even new technologies. (...) His singular work and his gift for oral literature are nourished by creolisation, bringing together a diversity of materials, histories, forms and gestures".
The 60th Venice Biennale will be held from April to November 2024.
