Il comitato di selezione presieduto da Chiara Parisi, Catherine Colonna, Ministro per l'Europa e gli Affari Esteri e Rima Abdul Malak, Ministro per la Cultura, ha scelto Julien Creuzet per rappresentare la Francia alla 60° Biennale di Venezia del 2024.
The selection committee unanimously chose Julien Creuzet: "for his work, where poetry infuses a multiplicity of practices with strength and generosity: sculpture, text, video, music, performance, even new technologies. These different elements are used to construct immersive and multisensory worlds animated by whispering memories. His singular work and his gift for oral literature are informed by creolisation, bringing together a diversity of materials, stories, forms and gestures. The questions raised by his works will have particularly significant resonances with the issues of our time at the French Pavilion in Venice. Julien Creuzet has also been chosen for the horizons he draws, venturing beyond the opposition between identity and universality, demonstrating that, in the midst of his art, poetic and artistic resonances trace answers that are as beautiful, joyful and restorative as they are unexpected. "
Julien Creuzet is a visual artist, video maker, performer and poet, born in 1986 in Le Blanc Mesnil. He lives and works in Montreuil. He spent most of his childhood in Martinique. His early years in the Caribbean, at the crossroads of African, Indian and European cultures, have left their mark on a body of work where the fusion of imaginary worlds plays a central role. He studied at the École Supérieure d'Arts & Médias de Caen/Cherbourg and the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Lyon, and graduated from Le Fresnoy - Studio National des Arts Contemporains in 2013.
