Julian LaVerdiere makes magical, edgy objects that instantly grab attention yet abound in subtexts, exploring where history, science, and commerce commingle with art.  Julian says: “As I grew up, I recognized that my primary references had been gathered from the cinema and television. My judgment was shaped by The Day After, Dr. Strangelove, Road Warrior, Blade Runner, and Carl Sagan’s Cosmos… The mad scientist was the anti-hero I modeled myself after. I am still fascinated by those types of infamous characters and was completely seduced and spellbound by the movie magic of big-budget, special effects films… I have modeled myself as a fusion of novice mad scientist/historian and absent-hearted inventor, where on one hand I’m trying to catalogue the strategies and techniques of seduction and control, and on the other, I’m examining the way in which we as consumers exhibit a willing suspension of disbelief and manifest historical fictions to grant our own peace of mind.”

It is hauntingly appropriate that the artist Julian LaVerdiere, descended from four of the original plot-owners, helped to create the towers of light on the site of the World Trade Centre in May this year. In his hands, the American way of death came full circle, to the style of almost abstract classicism

A Conversation with Julian LaVerdiere

by Peter Selz

A self-described inventor/historian, Julian LaVerdiere explores the rich and protean territory where history, science, and commerce commingle with art. The son of sculptor Bruno LaVerdiere, he studied with Hans Haacke at Cooper Union (BFA in sculpture) and later with Ronald Jones at Yale (MFA in sculpture). He speaks admiringly of his father with whom he shares an interest in memorials, though their approaches are generations apart. LaVerdiere makes magical, edgy objects that instantly grab attention yet abound in subtexts. After graduating from Yale, he and two Yale colleagues, Vincent Mazeau and Randall Peacock, created Big Room, a production design company intended to “infiltrate commercial culture.”
