Juliette Lena Hager b. 1998. France) lives and works in London.
Her multidisciplinary, research-based practice combines methods of collecting, collating and assembling archival materials.
She examines the social structures and rituals that negotiate and frame individual and collective experience Her work explores fundamental aspects of human experience, such as language, and the sign systems that enable us to describe the world. The installations and assemblages she creates, akin to the ready-made, present themselves as a study of the objects she uses, analysing their presence, the traces they bear, the gestures they imply and the potential narratives they contain.
Her research is almost systematically 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.
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).
