Perrotin is pleased to present Panchronic Gardens, Julian Charrière’s first solo exhibition since joining the gallery. The artist will showcase new sculptures alongside signature works, such as the video work And Beneath It All Flows Liquid Fire, depicting the coexistence of opposing elements like water and fire in a burning fountain, and Panchronic Garden, and immersive installation evoking our intricate history of mining the lithosphere and the vast Carboniferous forests that covered the planet some 300 millions years ago.
Combining installation, sculpture, film, and photography, Charrière’s projects often involve fieldwork in liminal spaces, from industrial extraction sites to volcanic calderas, from remote ice fields to nuclear testing grounds.
