Posted @withrepost • @artfromtheoutsidepodcast Introducing Isaac Julien — our latest guest on the Art from Outside podcast. Born in 1960 in London, Isaac is one of the leading artists working in film and video today. His 1989 film Looking for Langston garnered a cult following with this poetic exploration of Langston Hughes and the Harlem Renaissance. Over the past three decades he has made work using multi-screen installations to express fractured narratives exploring memory and desire. Earlier this year, he was commissioned by the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia to create a work to celebrate the museums’ centennial. Titled Once Again . . . (Statues Never Die), the immersive five-screen installation b explored the relationship between the museum’s founder, Dr. Albert C. Barnes, and the famed philosopher and cultural critic Alain Locke. Next year, Isaac will be the subject of a solo exhibition at London’s Tate Britain in April, presenting a survey of his work from the last 40 years. He was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 2017 and was knighted by the Queen in the 2022 Isaac Julien is represented by @victoriamirogallery @galerianararoesler @metro_pictures @roslynoxley9 @jessicasilvermangallery @galerieronmandos and @galeriahelgadealvear.
