CV
Léane Lloret (b. 1999, Grenoble, France) uses her eclectic background to look to different sources - particularly those that are off-screen. Her work which often uses metaphor is rooted in concepts, historical and sociological references, memory and material testimonies, with the aim of creating narratives from ‘what remains’.
She is particularly interested in the relationship between time and space; context and gesture; books and vitrines; as the presence of an inherent duality.
In 2021, she graduated from the École du Louvre - Palais du Louvre, Paris, where she specialized in Fashion and Costume History. After a spell into the Fashion Design department at ENSAV La Cambre, she became interested in images and objects. Her experience at Saint-Martin Bookshop, Brussels introduced her to curating practices, particularly through the exhibition of artists' books.
In 2023, Léane contributed to the artistic programme of Mercerie, Brussels. She performed for Olivia Bretheau as part of the Sophrology project.
In 2024-25, she assisted WIELS’s curatorial team for Jef Geys’s Catalogue raisonnable.
With Justine François, she took over the curatorial direction of ‘76,4’, an exhibition space permanently visible from the street, located at the front of Michel François’ studio, Saint-Gilles, Brussels.
