Julie Favreau
Julie Favreau lives and works in Montreal and Berlin. Her films are observations of how spiritual and erotic powers play a central role as life forces in our impending encounter with the augmented human. They are invitations to a return to intuition, tactility and an embodied form of knowledge. Her recent exhibitions include: Biennale Organ Vida (Zagreb); Architecture of Lust (Kaunas); This Thing, UdeM (Mtl), Schwartsche Villa (Berlin), Will Deliquesce, House of Egorn (Gallery weekend Berlin), Arsenal (NYC); From Her Character, BF15 (Lyon); Holding Rays, Künstlerhaus Bethanien (Berlin); She Century, Montreal Museum of Fine Arts; Délicat Pulse, Fonderie Darling (Mtl) and Casino Luxembourg; She Century, Edinburgh Art Festival – Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art. She was the recipient of the Prix Pierre-Ayot in 2014 and the Claudine and Stephen Bronfman Fellowship in Contemporary Art in 2012. Favreau was a finalist for the Sobey Art Award in 2012 and 2018.
