Jeanne Briand (b.1990) is a french artist based in Paris. She holds an MFA from Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris. Her sculpture-oriented work also integrates photography, drawing, video and sound.
Interweaving materials, molecules and affects, Jeanne Briand’s practice questions our specificities as well as our relationship with others.

Jeanne Briand’s work has been exhibited around the world including places such as Infinity-on-Sunset RunSpace, Los Angeles ; Clark House, Bombay ; La Panacée Arts Center, Montpellier ; South Dublin Arts Center, Dublin ; Lūznava Manor Rēzeknes Arts Center, Rezekne, Latvia ; Fondation Hyppocrène, Paris ; Centro Culturale Textura, Bogotà ; California Institute of the Arts, Los Angeles …
