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.
Creuzet has had solo exhibitions at Le Magasin Centre National D’Art Contemporain, Grenoble, France (2023), Performa Biennial, New York (2023), LUMA, Zürich, Switzerland (2023), LUMA, Arles, France (2022); the Camden Art Centre, London, UK (2022); Centre Pompidou, Paris, France (2021); Palais De Tokyo, Paris, France (2019); CAN Centre d’Art Neuchâtel, Neuchâtel, Switzerland (2019); Fondation d’Entreprise Ricard, Paris, France (2018); and Bétonsalon, Paris, France (2018). In 2024 he represented France in the 60th Venice Biennale.
He has participated in numerous institutional group exhibitions including the 35th São Paulo Bienal (2023), São Paulo, Brazil; the 12th Liverpool Biennial, Liverpool, UK (2023), the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, Chicago, IL (2022-2023); Musée Tinguely, Basel, Switzerland (2022); the National Gallery of Prague, Czech Republic, (2022); Wesleyan University Center for the Arts, Middletown, CT (2021); Manifesta 13, Marseille, France (2020); Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris, Paris, France (2020); Kampala Biennale, Kampala, Uganda (2018); and Gwangju Biennale, Gwangju, South Korea (2018).
