A graduate of the ESAD de Reims in 2013, Jules Levasseur explores the challenges of adapting and revaluing working-class trades within both craftsmanship and industry. His projects, developed through independent and collaborative approaches, form a unique, locally rooted network of research and production. The question of resources lies at the core of his practice. He seeks to redefine the shared elements of his environment — whether industrial, natural, recycled, or considered waste — as a form of “local wealth.”
Based since 2020 in Semur-en-Auxois, where his workshops and gallery are located, he produces his work in close connection with this alternative network. Some of his pieces have entered the collections of the Centre Pompidou and the CNAP. In 2024, he launched the brand Métiers Vivants®, which operates at the intersection of production and research.
