Triennale Art & Industrie - Dunkirk

Chaleur humaine is a large-scale exhibition presenting more than 250 works by close to 130 artists, primarily from France, Belgium, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.

I am showing my first public artwork in France at Frac Grand Large as part of Triennale Art and Industrie. The exhibition features pieces from a wide range of collections—including the Centre Pompidou National Museum of Modern Art and Centre National des Arts Plastiques, public collections from museums and regional funds for contemporary art, as well as work commissioned directly from the artists—and will cover the period ranging from 1972 to the present day, marking the end of the post-war boom years and the dawn of an age of eco‑anxiety.

In keeping with the refined curatorial principles of its custodians, Anna Colin and Camille Richert, the exhibition area will focus on the cross-border space around Dunkirk, ensuring a suitable sampling to observe and understand energy activities and environmental upheaval, and the way in which they affect art.
