Julien Creuzet
About the exhibition
ARoS presents one of the most exciting emerging artists on the international contemporary art scene. Julien Creuzet (b. 1986) has family roots in Martinique and works across sculpture, installation, video, sound, scent, and poetry. In 2024, he represented France at the Venice Biennale.
For ARoS, Julien Creuzet is creating a new site-specific art project and his first exhibition in Scandinavia. Organic forms meet industrial materials, while marine creatures, mythological figures and traces of cultural history emerge throughout the works. Drawing on Caribbean history and culture, the sea becomes a living archive of memories, myths and experiences in Creuzet’s art.
The project also extends across ARoS’ entire south-facing glass façade with an artistic intervention and is accompanied by a creative studio and workshops for visitors.
In a world marked by conflict and crisis, Creuzet offers a poetic reminder of the connections that have always existed between people, landscapes, and cultures.
The exhibition is curated by Jannie Haagemann
The exhibition is made possible with support from The New Carlsberg Foundation, Nordjylland Foundation, C.A.C. Foundation and Konsul George Jorck og Hustru Emma Jorck’s Foundation.
