Biography

Born in 1979, Jean-Charles de Quillacq studied at ENSBA Lyon and at Weißensee Kunsthochschule Berlin. He lives in Sussac, Limousin and Zürich, Switzerland. Jean-Charles de Quillacq develops sets of sculptures that are both conceptual and fetishistic. He often shows them by inviting other people to take charge of exhibiting them, accepting a certain loss of control over the potential deviations that these collaborations could cause.
Since 2011, when he was a resident at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam, Jean-Charles de Quillacq has been working with epoxy resin, which he tirelessly kneads like a "psychological material". He mixes it with other substances like nicotine, urine or Viagra, or blows blue ink from ballpoint pens into it. This demanding mouth-work underscores the performative aspect and the orality in a practice that has given rise to several performances. His work has been shown in solo exhibitions, including Pros, at Ampersand (Lisbon, 2023)Ma sis t’aime reproductive, à art3 (Valence, 2021), Ma système reproductive at Bétonsalon (Paris, 2019), My Tongue Does This to Me, with Hedwig Houben at La Galerie in Noisy-le-Sec (2018), Getting a Younger Sister, Thinking to Myself at the Swiss Art Awards, where he was one of the winners (Basel, 2017), Je t’embrasse tous and Autofiction both at Marcelle Alix gallery (Paris, 2016 and 2020), and Four Works in a Rectangle, Rote Fabrik (Zurich, 2012). He is currently a resident at Villa Medici in Rome.
