Mega-gallery Perrotin has announced representation of Julian Charrière, and will present a “large-scale installation” by the French-Swiss artist at Paris+ par Art Basel in October. Charrière is now jointly represented by Dittrich & Schlechtriem, Galerie Tschudi, Sean Kelly Gallery, and Sies+Höke.
With a practice that combines performance, sculpture, film, and photography, Charrière’s work emerges from his remote fieldwork in diverse locales—from industrial sites to volcanic craters, and icefields to nuclear test grounds. He delves into places shaped by unique geophysical and cultural forces, sparking contemplation on alternative histories and evolving notions of “nature.”
Charrière will have solo shows with Perrotin in Paris and the Palais de Tokyo next year. This year, he has participated in solo shows at Sean Kelly Gallery in Los Angeles, and the Langen Foundation in Germany. For that show, entitled “Controlled Burn,” Charrière set fire to the Foundation’s surrounding meadows with the help of a fire ecologist, and debuted his film The Lecture Room, which also screened at the Kunstmuseum Basel during Art Basel earlier this year.
