Valérian Goalec is based in Paris. He has worked and exhibited in institutions and spaces such as Musée d’art Contemporain de Bordeaux, Can Felipa (Barcelona), Le Frac Bretagne, Kanal Centre Pompidou (Brussels), Kunsthal Charlottenborg (Copenhagen), La Traverse by Catherine Bastide (Marseille), UA26 (Vienna), and etta (Düsseldorf). He was awarded the Art Norac Prize at Le Frac Bretagne and the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles Prize at Art Brussels (Belgium). He explores existing forms through interventions that question their presence and function.

His work, composed of interchangeable elements, unfolds as an open system in which each gesture resonates with the structures and dynamics of a given space. Since 2022, he has been developing scores or instructions he calls “Acts,” based on spatial and temporal phenomena and engaging imperceptible relationships between bodies, objects, and environments. Through this series of “Acts”, he plays with shifts, rhythms, and intervals, focusing on what disappears, transforms, or endures. His approach, attentive to use and detail, invites a renewed reading of the visible and the invisible.
