Since 2007, Julie Pellegrin has been working as the director of the Art Centre of La Ferme du Buisson. She aims to create a dialogue between contemporary art and other art forms (with a particular emphasis on theatre and dance), as well as social science (economics, philosophy, anthropology), focusing on the significance of processes and experimentation in the performative dimension of art. She mixes solo (Isabelle Cornaro, Seulgi Lee, Gianni Motti, Denis Savary, Mathieu Kleyebe Abonnenc, Diogo Pimentao, Julien Bismuth, Phill Niblock) and group exhibitions (A Choreographed Exhibitions, Treasures for Theatre, The Yvonne Rainer Project) mixed with publications, talks and performances. Author of over a dozen of artist monographs and artists’ books, Julie Pellegrin recently published, together with fellow curator Mathieu Copeland, a collective anthology entitled Choreographing Exhibitions. In 2013, she co-curated Nuit Blanche Paris with Chiara Parisi. They invited 40 international artists to produce large-scale artworks showcased across the city in public space, to offer spectators a chance to experience time-based works by Fujiko Nakaya, Rosa Barba, Michael Portnoy, Peter Watkins, Chantal Akerman, Hassan Khan, Liam Gillick or Martin Creed ‒ as well as reenactments of historical works like Palle Nielsen’s The Model or Karlheinz Stockhausen’s Helicopter String Quartet.
