At the MEP, Julie Jones sets out a year focused on emerging artists
Appointed director of the Maison européenne de la photographie in December 2025, Julie Jones has unveiled the programme she has prepared for the year ahead. In Paris, she says she wants to give emerging artists significant room to work.
The announcement concerns the Maison européenne de la photographie in Paris, where Julie Jones took over as director in December 2025. Le Monde Arts says she is presenting, exclusively, the programme she has put together for the coming year.
For artists, the point is not simply visibility, but the amount of space given to a body of work. Allowing emerging practices room to breathe can also mean making room for work in progress, for ways of building an image, and for decisions about silence, material, and framing.
For people interested in painting and drawing, this kind of programme often offers a close look at how an artistic language takes shape. It lets viewers follow a searching gaze, experiment with gesture, and see how images can prompt us to look differently at what a picture can show today.
