About the artist:
Céline Huyghebaert develops a grammar of silence at the crossroads of literature and the visual arts. In her books, exhibitions and collaborations, text blends with print, collage, photography, ceramics, video and installation. Her projects are long-term investigations, unearthing fragments of what has been lost or neglected, and organizing them into a narrative. She weaves together a plurality of voices – real and fictional, intimate and scientific — to recreate connections where they have gone missing, to give shape to what has been erased or forgotten. She has been awarded several major recognitions, including the Bronfman Fellowship in Contemporary Art for her artistic practice (2019), the Governor General’s Literary Award for Le drap blanc (Le Quartanier, 2019) and the CALQ Artist in the Community Award for from our bodies to your heart, a book produced with people diagnosed with cancer (2023).
