Gres art 671 in Bergamo presents the first major retrospective in Italy dedicated to Sir Isaac Julien, a key figure in video art, installation art, and contemporary visual culture. The exhibition runs from 10 April to October 2026, conceived in dialogue with the architecture of the gres art space, and retraces more than 30 years of the artist's career.
This retrospective matters because it marks a significant recognition of Isaac Julien's influential practice in Italy, highlighting his pioneering work in expanding the boundaries of video and installation art. By situating the exhibition in dialogue with the unique architecture of gres art 671, the show offers a site-specific experience that underscores the ongoing relevance of Julien's explorations of identity, history, and visual culture.
