Biography



Vincent Grange’s practice explores queer identities and challenges heteronormative narratives through the creation of alternate realities. The architecture, artefacts and different sculptures he creates, invite visitors to interpret each decision he takes, and decipher the often absurd and camp story he is trying to tell. Across his exhibitions, he writes a continuous, evolving story — each show developing from the previous one. Characters reappear, objects resurface, and spaces interconnect, forming a growing universe that unfolds across time and place.

He is co-founder of Collectif Kimera, which runs ->Espace Dukat, an artist-run contemporary art space opened in Geneva in 2023. He also co-founded ->Souplex Atelier with artist Tanguy Troubat, where he works as a scenographer and art director for institutions such as Istituto Svizzero, HEAD Genève, and various emerging artists.

In 2023, he received the Déliée Grant from the Fonds Cantonal d’Art Contemporain, and in 2024, he was awarded the Kiefer Hablitzel Göhner Prize at the Swiss Art Awards.
