Career

Significant projects include: Veilhan Versailles at the Palace and Gardens of the Palais de Versailles[3] in 2009; Architectones, a series of interventions between 2012 and 2014 in seven major modernist buildings around the world; Le Château de Rentilly, a continuation and augmentation of his architectural practice, re-designing the entirety of the facades of the building in 2014; the films Vent Moderne (for La Villette, Paris) and Matching Numbers (for 3e Scène, Opéra National de Paris) in 2015.[4]

In 2017 Xavier Veilhan was chosen to represent France at the 57th Venice Art Biennale (May - November 2017). He transformed his national Pavilion into an immersive recording studio dedicated to audio experimentation, curated by Lionel Bovier and Christian Marclay. His Studio Venezia welcomed more than 200 musicians over the course of 7 months.[5] In 2022, he is the first artist invited by CHANEL to imagine the staging of a Haute Couture show.[6]

Selected exhibitions

Veilhan's art has been exhibited at venues such as Centre Pompidou (Paris), MAMCO (Geneva), The Phillips Collection (Washington), Mori Art Museum (Tokyo) and Fundació Joan Miró, Barbican Centre and Kitakyushu Center for Contemporary Art.
