Chanel opened the dance for the new edition of the Venice Biennale, the prestigious contemporary art exhibition scheduled from 20 April to 24 November, paying homage to Julien Creuzet, the artist selected to represent the French Pavilion.
The bond between the brand and the world of art is strong, consolidated in the project Chanel Culture Fund, a global program of initiatives and partnerships aimed at promoting artistic innovation, creating the conditions for artists to dare and helping to highlight transformative ideas that positively impact culture and society.
For the occasion, the spaces of Palazzo Malipiero, recently reopened, were the setting for an exclusive gala dinner in honor of Creuzet, which saw participation Leena NairChanel Global CEO and leading figures from the world of art and culture, the winners of the Next Prize and the Fund's numerous cultural partners around the world.
«Creuzet is an inspiration: multidisciplinary artist, teacher, is the first person of Caribbean origin to represent France at the Venice Biennale – comments Leena Nair -. Julien is an expert in poetry, music, film and animation. He is a prodigious assembler of readymades and possesses an intuitive ability to weave together many different cultural legacies. His art is inspired by his knowledge gained as an art teacher at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Paris. But it is also fueled by his desire to travel the world, to absorb everything he sees. Objects found on the shoreline washed ashore by the ocean tide can be displayed alongside the work of an old master. He is bold and exciting, he is an inspiring figure of contemporary art.”
