Eyes on Talents for Today, for Tomorrow

Julie Richoz

Eyes on Talents member, Swiss-French designer Julie Richoz, is celebrated for her thoughtful approach to design, which balances curiosity, sensibility, creativity, and meticulous craftsmanship. For the design magazine Intramuros, Maïa Pois looks back at the creative practice of the designer, who set up her eponymous design studio in Paris in 2015. Attracted by the tangibility of the objects she designs, Julie Richoz oscillates between projects with brands and manufacturers with a strong identity, gallery exhibitions, and residency projects. "If I had to find a common thread running through all my projects, I would say that I'm keen to understand the manufacturing tools, the way in which materials are transformed, and to find a language that stems from this knowledge."

In Mammoth, a new show at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Nick Cave invites visitors to walk among the fantastical remains of these ancient creatures. His new project envisions a world animated by the power of the past and the transformative possibilities of the imagination.

Nick Cave (b. 1959) is renowned internationally for his work that surreally and seductively combines sculpture, performance, and fashion. Known for the exuberant Soundsuits that he originally created in response to racialized police violence, Cave has long been interested in the intersections of history and identity. With this new body of work, his scope is both broader and more personal. Cave explores his family’s history in rural Chariton County, Missouri, his relationship with the landscape there, and the nature of his own creativity. In doing so, he invites us to consider our connections with the natural world and the everyday objects that surround us.
