JULIAN CHARRIÈRE

Seeking to deconstruct the cultural traditions which govern how the natural world is perceived and represented, Charrière’s multidimensional practice frequently leads him to cross-field collaborations with scientists, musicians, engineers, and philosophers. From artistic expeditions to the staging of immersive installations, the core of his practice concerns itself with how the human being inhabits the world, and how it in turn inhabits us.

His work has been the subject of monographic exhibitions at major institutions worldwide, with recent solo presentations including Erratic at SMOMA, San Francisco (2022), Controlled Burn at Lange Foundation, Ness (2022) and Towards No Earthly Pole at the Dallas Museum of Art, Dallas (2021). Further notable solo exhibitions have been presented at Aargauer Kunsthaus, Aarau (2020); MASI Lugano, Lugano (2019); MAMbo, Bologna (2019); and Berlinische Galerie, Berlin (2018) among others. Charrière’s work has been featured in multiple international Biennales, such as the 16th Lyon Contemporary Art Biennale (2022); the Guangzhou Image Triennial (2021); the Taipei Biennial (2018); and the 57th Biennale di Venezia (2017).

Charrière has upcoming monographic exhibitions planned for Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2024), ARKEN – Museum of Modern Art, Copenhagen (2024), and Museum Tinguely, Basel (2025).
