In this capacity, he was involved in commissioning work in the disciplines of fine art, design and fashion. In the period 2013–15, he was responsible for programming exhibitions and the Artefact Festival at the STUK House for Dance, Image and Sound in Leuven. From 2003 to 2011 he was the artistic and general director of TAG, institute for contemporary art and music in The Hague.

A visual artist, a filmmaker, a performer and a poet based in Paris, Julien Creuzet creates composite environments that organize bridges between the imaginary from elsewhere, the social reality right here, and the forgotten histories of minorities.

The artist uses different media such as languages which mutually enrich one another. As they become intertwined, they create coincidences and wordplay that are both precise and relaxed and give free reign to the imagination.

He is a graduate of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Caen, the Beaux- Arts in Lyon and the Fresnoy-Studio national des arts contemporains.

Julien Creuzet has had presentations at the 14th Lyon Biennale and solo exhibitions at the Fondation Ricard and Bétonsalon, and will have a solo exhibition at the Rencontres d’Arles at the invitation of the Palais de Tokyo in collaboration with Fisheye.

In 2018, he took part in the group show The Center Cannot Hold at Lafayette Anticipations, Paris.
