Juliette Lena Hager b. 1998. France lives and works in London.
Working primarily with sculptural assemblages, collecting and collating assembling archival materials, Juliette has a multidisciplinary approach that combines research-based practice and making methods.
Her work explores fundamental aspects of human experience, such as language, and the signs systems that enable us to describe the world. This facilitates an investigation of the social structures and rituals that negotiate and frame individual and collective experience.
Her research is rooted in material culture and the vernacular, assimilating the role of artist to that of anthropologist in order to better understand the relationships between things and people.
The subsequent installations and assemblages created present themselves as a study of objects; analysing their presence, the traces they bear, the gestures they imply and the potential narratives they contain.
She also has a duo project (works and curation) with Luke Luke Luke.
Exhibitions include In Contiguity, Sherbet Green, London (2024), The Leisure Class, Deichtorhallen Hamburg (2024), Vitrine (solo), Torbay, London (2024), Tender like asphalt, Sherbet Green, London (2023); The last off-site show on the Earth, Off site and Plague Space, Krasnodar (2023); Fracture me, Tenderly, Greatorex Street, London (2023); This is Nowhere, and it’s Forever, artist-organised exhibition in the former Libris bookstore, Brussels (2023); Fair faire 2, 3537, Paris (2023); Language itself is a revolution, SOMA, Marseille (2022); 51.5323, -0.105, Candid Arts Trust, London; Hiraeth, Espace Future, Paris (2021); and Kevätsalonki, Kosminen Gallery, Helsinki (2021).
