Julian Charrière , Suisse
"Panchronic Gardens"
Julian Charrière is a Franco-Swiss artist based in Berlin. Combining performance, sculpture, film, and photography, his projects often result from fieldwork in liminal places, from industrial extraction sites to volcanic calderas, isolated ice fields to nuclear test sites. By encountering these places where acute geophysical and cultural identities have formed, Charrière speculates on alternative histories and the evolution of our idea of “nature,” often using materiality and deep time as lenses to do so. Seeking to deconstruct cultural traditions that govern the perception and representation of the natural world, Charrière’s multidimensional practice frequently leads him to collaborate with scientists, musicians, engineers, and philosophers. From artistic expeditions to the staging of immersive installations, the heart of his practice explores how human beings inhabit the world, and how it in turn inhabits us.

The gallery
Emmanuel Perrotin founded the Perrotin Gallery in 1990 at the age of twenty-one. Since then, he has opened over twenty different spaces, aiming to provide increasingly stimulating platforms for creation. He accompanies artists, some for over thirty years, in the development of their most ambitious projects. The Perrotin Gallery has a presence in Paris, Hong Kong, New York, Seoul, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Los Angeles. The total area of its spaces is approximately 8000 square meters.
In Paris, the Perrotin Gallery is located in Le Marais: it is situated at 76 rue de Turenne, in an 18th-century mansion since 2005, and since 2007 at 10 impasse Saint-Claude, totaling nearly 1600 m² over three levels. In the same street, the Salle de Bal, a 700 m² showroom, was inaugurated in 2014 in the Hôtel d'Ecquevilly, known as the "Grand Veneur," dating back to the 17th century. In June 2020, the gallery inaugurated a new 70 m² space on Avenue Matignon in western Paris. In total, the galleries located in Paris cover 2,550 m².
In May 2012, Perrotin Hong Kong was inaugurated at 50 Connaught Road Central, 650 m² on the 17th floor, with breathtaking views of Victoria Harbour. In 2020, Perrotin Hong Kong moved to K11 ATELIER Victoria Dockside, on the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront.
From 2013 to 2016, Perrotin New York was located in a historic location on the Upper East Side, on the iconic Madison Avenue. After three successful years, the gallery moved in April 2017 to 130 Orchard Street, a 2300 m² space in the heart of Manhattan's most dynamic neighborhood: the Lower East Side, including a large bookstore featuring editions and books published by the gallery.
In 2016, Perrotin opened a gallery in Seoul in the Jongno-Gu district, facing the residence of the President, the Blue House, and Gyeongbok Palace. In August 2022, Perrotin inaugurated Perrotin Dosan Park, in the heart of the new culture and luxury brand district, where the Horim Art Center, SONGEUN Art and Cultural Foundation, Hermès, Louis Vuitton Seoul, and two major Korean auction houses are located. The building, which comprises two floors and offers an exhibition space of approximately 250 square meters, was designed by KIAS (Kentaro Ishida Architects Studio) in collaboration with Yoki Design and Kenny Ho.
In June 2017, Perrotin inaugurated a 140 m² gallery in Tokyo, on the ground floor of the Piramide building at 6-6-9 Roppongi Minato-ku Tokyo, in the heart of Roppongi, a district that hosts numerous museums such as the Mori Art Museum, the Suntory Museum of Art, the National Art Center (Art Triangle Roppongi), and important galleries. After expansion works in 2019, the gallery now spans 230 m².
In 2018, Perrotin opened a new gallery in Shanghai, located in the heart of the Bund district. The gallery occupies the top floor of a historic brick building known as the "Amber Building" at 27 Huqiu Road. Built in 1937, this building is a former warehouse that was used by the Central Bank of China during the Republican period. With an area of 1300 square meters, the gallery features multiple exhibition spaces as well as a mezzanine, showcasing the building's original elements.
In 2024, Perrotin inaugurates a gallery in Los Angeles, in the former Del Mar Cinema located at 5036 West Pico Boulevard, in the Mid-City district. Key elements of the historic building, including the pediment and light panels, ticket booth, showcases, and the main hall have been preserved and adapted into exhibition spaces. The original neon sign of the Del Mar has been restored, as well as the pediment announcing the gallery's programming. The blue and gray striped motif unifies the building with bold graphics, echoing the heritage of billboards and advertising that punctuate the urban boulevards of Los Angeles (architect Johnston Marklee and interior architect Jamie Bush + Co.). Both buildings, dating back to the 1930s, total 930 square meters.
The Perrotin Gallery participates in over twenty fairs per year including Art Basel (Hong Kong, Basel, Miami, Paris +), Frieze (London, New York, Los Angeles, Seoul), Dallas Art Fair, Expo Chicago, Art021 & West Bund Art & Design (Shanghai), The Armory Show, TEFAF New York, Art Genève…
The gallery's offerings have diversified in recent years, including the organization of conferences, workshops for children, concerts, as well as the production of videos and podcasts.
The gallery also publishes books, editions, and artists' prints, available in each of the Perrotin bookstores.
