CAROLINE MONNET

Caroline Monnet draws from her studies in Sociology and Communications for a research based practice which investigates Indigenous experience through history and into today. By interweaving the geometries of past and present, her work realises complex hybrid forms to express this bicultural experience. Often incorporating contemporary building materials, multiple graphic traditions are conjoined in the works, exploring the interrelated aspects of Modern and Indigenous image making. This unique language expresses itself as a porthole of understanding, a space that both exposes imperialist structures and offers aesthetic potentials of cross cultural fertilisation towards a commonality.

Monnet’s work been including in the Whitney Biennial, New York; the Toronto Biennial of Art; KØS museum, Copenhagen; Contemporary Art Museum Montréal; National Art Gallery of Canada, Ottawa and presented solo exhibitions at Montreal Museum of Fine Arts; Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt; Arsenal Contemporary, New York; and the Art Museum at the University of Toronto.
