Jeanne Vicerial

The artist

Born in 1991, Jeanne Vicerial lives and works in Jura, France. After studying costume design and completing a Master's degree in Fashion Design at the École des Arts Décoratifs in Paris in 2015, she became the first person in France to obtain a SACRe (Sciences, Arts, Création, Recherche), doctorate in 2019. She furthered her research by questioning the dichotomy between ready-to-wear and bespoke clothing, while also embarking on an artistic journey that led her to create the Clinique vestimentaire research and design studio. In addition to her personal creations, she has initiated numerous collaborations with artists from a variety of backgrounds. Her works were notably exhibited at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris (2018), in Rome (Villa Medici and Palazzo Farnese, 2020), at the Collection Lambert in Avignon (2021), at the Magasins Généraux in Pantin (2021), at the Basilique Saint-Denis (2022) and have recently been added to the collections of the Cnap (Centre national des arts plastiques) and the FRAC Auvergne. In 2024, she was invited to exhibit in dialogue with the paintings of Pierre Soulages at the Musée Soulages in Rodez. Jeanne Vicerial has participated in several group exhibitions, at the Maximiliansforum, Munich (2022), the Fondation Martell, Cognac (2022), the Ballroom Project, Antwerp (2022), the Maison Guerlain, Paris (2022), the Musée International des Arts Modestes in Sète (2023), the fondation Lafayette Anticipations (2023), the FRAC Auvergne (2023), the Musée Bargoin, Clermont-Ferrand (2023) and the Triennale de Nîmes (2024).
