DOCUMENT is thrilled to participate in Art Basel Miami Beach 2024 with a presentation of works by Julien Creuzet (France, b. 1986), Anneke Eussen (Netherlands, b. 1978), Paul Mpagi Sepuya (USA, b. 1982), and Tromarama (Indonesia, formed 2006). This marks DOCUMENT’s first participation in the Galleries sector.

Born in 1986, Julien Creuzet is a French-Caribbean artist who lives and works in Paris. A visual artist and poet, he actively intertwines these two practices via amalgams of sculpture, installation and textual intervention that frequently address his own diasporic experience. Inspired by the poetic and philosophical reflections of Aimé Césaire and Édouard Glissant on creolization and migration, Creuzet’s work focuses on the troubled intersection of the history of Martinique and the events of European modernity.

Anneke Eussen (b. 1978, Kerkrade, The Netherlands) utilizes the formal principles of Minimalism evoking geometric seriality, yet quietly deploys hidden narratives and secret histories in her work. Her practice revolves around cultivating and repurposing found materials into meticulously detailed and ghostly wall sculptures. Through layering, arrangement, and assembly interventions, Eussen is never manipulating the original shape of the objects and insists on using their original framework. Through overlapping industrial materials such as stone, glass, and metal, Eussen questions the linguistic and political construction of borders. The works emanate the tangibility of human contact, visualizing the sensuous connection between past, present, and future through our relationship with built space.

Paul Mpagi Sepuya (b. 1982, San Bernardino, CA) is an artist working in photography whose projects weave together histories and possibilities of portraiture, queer and homoerotic networks of production and collaboration, and the material and conceptual potential of blackness at the heart of the medium. His interests also include queer literary modernism, as well as questions of artistic responsibility and care regarding representation and refusal.

Established in 2006 in Bandung, Indonesia, Tromarama is a collective initiated by Febie Babyrose (b. 1985 Jakarta, Indonesia), Ruddy Hatumena (b. 1984, Manama, Bahrain) and Herbert Hans (b. 1984, Jakarta, Indonesia). Their practice explores the interrelationship between the digital and physical world. Channeling language, text, wit, and interaction, Tromarama reflects on the cornerstones of Indonesia’s political and cultural environment, and on a form of perceptive engagement in our hyperreality that applies globally.

Presentation made possble with financial support from the Mondriaan Fund.
