Julie Bena @ Nicoletti Contemporary

The work of Julie Béna, The Den, is made up of an eclectic set of references, often drawing motifs from theatre, literature and mythology to create enigmatic environments that redistribute the coordinates of class and gender relationships. Spanning sculpture, installation, film and performance, Béna’s artistic practice navigates a territory at the confluence of illusion and reality, addressing the power relations shaping our societies through fictional characters and extravagant scenarios that seek to stimulate our political imagination.
