Adrien Genty

Connaissance du masque

Opening Friday, 12 September 2025, 6-9 pm

13 September – 5 October 2025

Adrien Genty works in a variety of media including sculpture, photography, video, installation, informed by theatrical forms such as puppetry. Marionettes, glove puppets, and automatons often appear in his practice, which is less about animating objects in the manner of a demiurgic artist than excavating the scripts underlying the fetish character of the artwork through the exhibition apparatus.

Adrien Genty, born in 1987, lives and works in Paris. He graduated from the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2012. His recent solo shows include Courtney Jaeger (Basel, 2024), Bagnoler (Bagnolet, 2023). He has participated in group exhibitions at Treize (Paris, 2025), Concert (Villejuif, 2025), Pauline Perplexe (Arcueil, 2025), Paris Internationale (2020), Paramount Ranch (Agoura Hills, CA, 2015), Fondation Ricard (Paris, 2014).
