Caroline Monnet

Caroline Monnet STATEMENT As an artist, Monnet uses film and video, printmaking, photography and installation work for cultural expression, exploring possibilities and limits, and to build a strong voice. She explores the dualities of her social, political, and spiritual identity, in order to develop a critical framework that explores the influence of oral histories, ancient life ways, and generational legacy. Her approach is cultural and personal, celebrating community, unconventional memory and identity. BIO Caroline Monnet is a contemporary award winning filmmaker and visual artist. Her work has been exhibited extensively in film festivals and galleries, including the Toronto International Film Festival, Clermont-Ferrand vidéoformes (France), Urban Shaman Contemporary Aboriginal Art Gallery (Winnipeg), Künstlerhaus Bethanien (Berlin), Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art (Winnipeg) and Les Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin/Madrid at the Palais de Tokyo (France). Monnet is also part of ITWÉ, a trans-disciplinary art collective dedicated to the creation of Aboriginal digital culture. She works and lives in Montreal. ARTIST CONTACT [click to email] IMAGES
