Whitechapel Gallery Art Icon 2024: Isaac Julien

On Monday 18 March 2024, Whitechapel Gallery hosted its annual Art Icon Gala in honour of Isaac Julien.

 

Of the announcement, Gilane Tawadros (Whitechapel Gallery Director) said:

’It’s an honour to announce Isaac Julien as our 2024 Art Icon. His ground-breaking, visually compelling film and video works, alongside his elaborate multi-screen installations, have defined new and important territories for artists and filmmakers, and changed the way that audiences view and experience moving image work – both within and outside art spaces.

 

His work offers a uniquely seductive yet critical lens to explore and interrogate historical and contemporary experiences and he is rightfully acknowledged to be one of the most influential artists of his generation.  I couldn’t be more delighted to be presenting him with this year’s award on behalf of Whitechapel Gallery and the 2024 Art Icon committee.’
