| Julien Bismuth (b.1973 Paris, France) received a BFA from UCLA, an MA from Goldsmiths, and is currently finishing a PhD in Comparative Literature at Princeton. Julien Bismuth's work navigates between the visual and literary arts. He has published a number of texts, including a series of books with Devonian Press, which he co-founded with the artist Jean-Pascal Flavien in 2005. His recent pieces can be described as stagings of linguistic and visual elements, text and image (or object) coexisting in a disruptive and distracted dialogue with one another. Much of his work is also performance-based, including a recent series of performative works with actors, in which the actors were directed to communicate laughter or tears to their audience, by working themselves into fits of laughter and tears. His work has been exhibited at the Orange County Museum of Art, the Villa Arson, the Musée du Jeu de Paume, and the David Zwirner Gallery, among others. He is currently represented by Galerie Georges-Philippe et Nathalie Vallois, Galerie Parisa Kind, and the Layr Wuestenhagen Gallery. |
