Vincent Grange

Drawing on LGBTQIA+ histories, queer identities, and speculative storytelling, Vincent Grange builds worlds populated by fictional characters and symbolic artefacts that question societal norms and power structures. The architecture, artefacts and different sculptures he creates, invite visitors to interpret each decision he takes, and decipher the often absurd and camp story he is writing. Across his exhibitions, Grange writes a continuous, evolving story - each show developing from the previous one. Charactors reappear, objects resurface, and spaces interconnect, forming a growing universe that unfolds across time and place.

Born in 1997 in Geneva, Switzerland, Vincent Grange lives and works in Geneva, Switzerland. After gaining his Master’s in Space and Communication at HEAD – Genève (Haute École d’Art et Design), Grange co-founded and is part of Collectif Kimera, in charge of Espace Dukat, a new contemporary art space based in Geneva. Additionally, he co-founded Souplex Atelier with his colleague and friend Tanguy Troubat, where he works as a scenographer and art director where he works as art director for institutions like Istituto Svizzero, HEAD Genève and emerging artists.

He received the 2023 Déliée Grant from the Fonds Cantonal d'Art Contemporain, and was awarded the Kiefer Hablitzel Göhner Prize at the Swiss Art Awards 2024.
